The countdown URL works like a permanent shareable link — nothing is stored on a server, so it never expires. Drop it in your family WhatsApp group, pin it to a shared notes doc, or add it to the "Save the Date" message. Every time someone opens it the timer is already personalised with your names and date.

How to make the most of your wedding countdown
A wedding countdown is more than a number: it is the heartbeat of all your planning. Seeing the days, hours and minutes melt away turns abstract deadlines into concrete motivation — and keeps the whole wedding party excited together.
Share the link before the invitations go out
Track every sub-event in one link
Modern weddings span several days. While setting up your countdown, expand "Add other events" to include up to four sub-events — a rehearsal dinner, bachelorette party, welcome cocktail or honeymoon departure, each with its own date. Guests swipe between them inside the same shareable link.
Fun ways to use your wedding countdown
Your countdown is more than a number on a screen — it can become a small daily ritual that keeps you both connected to the excitement of your upcoming celebration. Many couples check it together each morning during the busy planning season.
Get creative with how you weave the countdown into your wedding journey:
- Share milestone screenshots on social media when you hit round numbers like 200, 100 or 50 days to go.
- Plan a date night each month of the countdown so you stay connected as a couple while planning.
- Use countdown milestones as task deadlines to keep wedding planning on track without feeling overwhelmed.
- Create a countdown jar with daily love notes you and your partner read together each morning.
- Host a 100-days-to-go celebration with your wedding party to build excitement and thank them for their support.
- Set the countdown as your phone wallpaper by downloading the vertical card — see it every time you unlock your phone.
Download the card for Instagram Stories
Choose the vertical format (1080×1920) from the Download menu. The PNG export is sized to fill an Instagram Story perfectly, with safe areas at the top and bottom for Instagram's native countdown sticker. Layer the sticker over the safe area and you have a polished, branded Story in under a minute.
Send the GIF on WhatsApp
Open the Share sheet to preview exactly how your countdown will look on WhatsApp — animated GIF plus link card. Tap the WhatsApp button to send a pre-filled message, or download an animated GIF in vertical or horizontal format and attach it yourself. Either way, recipients land on your live countdown with every sub-event included.
