Wedding day / wedding week OOO templates.

Five OOO templates for your own wedding — wedding-day-only, wedding-week, formal, founder-personal, and brief. The wedding OOO is one of the easiest to write because everyone wishes you well.

Quick answer

Wedding OOOs can be slightly warmer than the average vacation OOO — most recipients respond positively. Specify the dates clearly, name a covering person, and don't apologize for the leave. The templates below cover the main scenarios.
