How Wedding Novenas Works

To organize a novena, choose and personalize a prayer, set the dates, and share the signup link. Wedding Novenas then sends each day’s prayer to participants by email for nine days.

1. Choose and customize

Choose a Catholic novena, add the names and intention, and select the nine prayer dates.

2. Share the signup link

Send one link to family, friends, and parish members. Guests may join without creating an account.

3. Pray together each day

Participants receive the day’s prayer by email and may also read it on the novena page.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a wedding novena start?

A wedding novena often starts nine days before the wedding and ends on the wedding day. Organizers may choose other dates when that timing better suits the couple or community.

Do participants need to be Catholic?

No. The prayers come from the Catholic tradition, but anyone who wants to support the couple may join. Participants do not need to create an account.

Can I use the service for an ordination or another sacrament?

Yes. Organizers may create a novena for an ordination, religious profession, confirmation, baptism, or another important intention, then invite their community through one signup link.

Can I use custom prayers?

Yes. Organizers may choose a supplied Catholic prayer or create custom prayers and daily intentions for their novena.
