Similar thing happened to us. I had the www redirect but used a .wedding TLD. On the invites I even put the entire “http://<domain>.wedding/“ hoping it’d be clear. I’d say a majority of people didn’t recognize that it was a web address and assumed we didn’t have a website.

To be fair “.com” would probably have convinced more of them.

“.wedding” is obviously some cheeky made up thing…

My earliest domain was registered in '99 and I'd still not really believe "dot wedding" - what's next, "dot muffin"?
There are some pretty out-there ones now. No .muffin yet, but its a lot more plausible now than it was 5 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_dom...
not https?
