Common questions

Wedding countdown FAQ

Yes, completely free forever. WeddingTimer is a self-funded project created by a couple, for couples. No premium tiers, no watermarks, no hidden fees. Generate unlimited countdown widgets for unlimited weddings.

No account needed. Your countdown configuration is encoded directly in the iframe URL, so your wedding countdown lives wherever you embed it — not on our servers. You own it completely.

Absolutely. Every wedding countdown layout uses fluid typography with CSS clamp() and a 100% width iframe, so it adapts perfectly from a 4-inch phone screen to a 32-inch desktop monitor without any manual adjustments.

The countdown elegantly transforms into a "Just Married" message once your wedding date passes. No broken widgets, no zero-values, no awkward updates needed. Your wedding website stays beautiful forever.

Yes. Choose from curated wedding color presets — ivory, blush, sage, white — or enter any custom hex color code to perfectly match your invitations, bridesmaid dresses, or wedding palette. You can also set a transparent background to blend with any page.

No. The widget runs inside a sandboxed iframe and uses lazy-loaded fonts via Google Fonts. It doesn't block your page's rendering, doesn't affect your SEO scores, and doesn't consume bandwidth from your wedding website host.

Of course. While designed with weddings in mind, the widget works beautifully for engagement countdowns, anniversary celebrations, baby shower reveals, proposal countdowns, and any milestone moment worth counting down to.

In Squarespace, add an "Embed" or "Code" block, then paste your copied iframe code. The same process works on Wix (Embed HTML), WordPress (Custom HTML block), Webflow (Embed element), and every other major wedding website builder that supports HTML embeds.
