Publishing overview
Understand how Cordially serves published wedding websites from subdomains and active custom domains.
Overview
Publishing controls whether guests can view your wedding website and Save the Date at a public host.
Key concepts
Cordially supports platform subdomains like your-name.cordially.io and active custom domains. Public rendering resolves the incoming host, validates the saved draft, and checks the publication state for the requested surface.
How it works
When the full site is published, Cordially serves the latest saved draft at the host root. Save the Date uses a separate publication control at /savethedate, so it can be public while the root site remains hidden. If the requested surface is not available for a wedding host, the request does not fall through to the Cordially marketing page.
Notes and limitations
The docs host, authenticated dashboard, and preview routes are separate from wedding-site host resolution. RSVP and Save the Date use the resolved wedding host but enforce their own publication/access conditions.
Publishing is paid-workspace behavior.
