Barefoot Beach wedding website template

Set the relaxed tone straight away and tell guests to expect sun and sand.

See you on the sand

We're getting married on the beach on Saturday 4 December 2027, and we'd love you there.

Expect a short ceremony by the water, then food, drinks and dancing at the surf club as the sun goes down. Shoes are optional. Good company isn't.

Please RSVP by 15 October 2027.

Beach ceremonies depend on tide and heat. Tell guests where to meet and when.

The plan

- 3:45 pm Meet at the main beach car park. Follow the signs down to the sand.
- 4:00 pm Ceremony on the beach (about 20 minutes)
- 4:30 pm Photos on the beach, drinks on the deck
- 5:30 pm Dinner at the surf club
- 8:00 pm Dancing
- 11:00 pm Home time

If the weather turns, the ceremony moves to the surf club's function room. We'll post any change here by 1 pm.

Beach parking fills fast. Give a car park, a walking route and a drop-off point.

Getting here

The ceremony is on the sand near the surf club. Park at the main beach car park, which is paid and fills early on summer weekends, so give yourself extra time.

The reception at the surf club is two minutes' walk along the boardwalk, or a short drive.

Places to stay nearby:
- Holiday apartments on the main street, a short walk away
- A resort by the river, a short walk away

Keep the RSVP friendly and quick, and ask about mobility: sand is hard work for some guests.

Are you coming?

Let us know by 15 October 2027 so we can sort food and chairs.

Tell us:
- If you can make it
- Who's coming from your invitation
- Any dietary requirements or allergies
- If walking on sand is tricky for you: we'll save you a seat close to the path

Casual beach dress needs practical advice more than a dress code name.

What to wear

Beach casual: light fabrics, linen and sundresses. Leave the heels at home; flat sandals or bare feet are perfect on the sand.

Bring sunglasses and a hat. We'll have water, sunscreen and a few umbrellas for shade.

Answer the beach-specific questions before guests ask.
