Avoid symbols, capitals and anything you would have to spell out on the phone. Below are more than forty ideas grouped by type, the rules that make a password work on a phone keyboard, an honest take on when you need one at all, and the wording for telling guests where to find it. On Eventi, password protection is a single toggle on the [free wedding website builder](/wedding-website), separate from the search-engine setting, so you can hide the site from Google without a password or add a password on top. Both are free. ## Do you need a password at all? Most couples worry about the wrong thing. The risk is not a stranger finding the site; it is the site turning up when someone searches your names. Eventi sites are hidden from search engines by default, which handles that without a password. A password is worth adding when: - The site shows a private home address, for a backyard wedding or a rehearsal dinner at a parent’s house. - The guest list is smaller than the people who will hear about the wedding, and you would rather not explain. - There is a surprise element - a vow renewal disguised as a party, or a proposal story you have not told everyone. - You are posting the link somewhere public, like a social profile or a printed sign in an office. A password is not worth adding when every guest arrives from a personal link. With Eventi’s [online RSVP](/online-rsvp), each guest’s link opens the site already knowing who they are, so the RSVP itself is already private to that household. The password protects the page; the personal link protects the guest list. For a typical wedding, hidden-from-search plus personal links is enough, and the password is a belt on top of suspenders. ## The rules for a password guests will not mistype - One word or one number. Two words with no space if you must. - All lowercase, and make the site accept any capitalization if the platform lets you. - No symbols. Guests on a phone keyboard should not need the second screen. - Not guessable from the public page. If the site name is emma-and-james, the password is not emmajames. - Something half the guest list already knows, so the other half can ask anyone. - Tell guests exactly where it is, every time you share the link. ## Date-based wedding website passwords - 061327 (the wedding date as six digits) - june13 - 13june2027 - 2027 - june2027 - summer27 - the13th - 0613 - our-date-as-four-digits, month and day only - the year you met, which guests who know you can guess and strangers cannot The wedding date is the most common choice because it is already on the invitation. That is also its weakness: anyone holding the invitation has the password. For most couples that is fine, since anyone holding the invitation is invited. ## Name-based passwords - carter (the new shared last name) - thecarters - emmajames - jamesemma - ej2027 - riveracarter (both last names) - teamcarter - mrandmrscarter - the name of the officiant, if guests know them - a parent’s first name Skip these if the site name already uses the same names. The point of a password is that it is not on the page. ## Venue and place passwords - austin - hillcountry - theranch - bartoncreek - texas - the city where you got engaged - the street you live on - the name of your first apartment building - the restaurant from your first date - the lake, beach or park guests will recognize ## Pet and inside-joke passwords - your dog’s name (biscuit, luna, moose) - your cat’s name - the dog’s name plus the year - the nickname only your friends use - the word from the proposal story - your favorite band, one word - the song you will dance to, one word - the cocktail you always order - the show you binge together - the trip that made you decide Inside jokes make the best passwords and the worst instructions. If you use one, add the hint on the invitation: “Password: the dog”. Guests who know you will smile; guests who do not can ask. ## Simple word passwords - wedding - love - forever - ido - cheers - celebrate - together - party - guest - family These are the easiest to type and the easiest to guess. They are fine when the password is only there to keep the page off casual eyes and the real privacy comes from personal RSVP links and the hidden-from-search default. ## How to tell guests the password Put the password in the same place as the link, every time. On a printed save-the-date it goes under the address: > Details and RSVP at ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james Password: 061327 In a WhatsApp or text invitation, it goes in the message, one line above the link: > Hi Aunt Carol - we are getting married on June 13 in Austin and we would love you there. Everything is on our site (password: biscuit). Tap the button below to let us know if you can make it. If Eventi sends the invitation for you, the RSVP buttons sit under the message and the personal link opens the site already knowing the guest, so the password is only needed by someone who gets the link secondhand. The full set of channels is in [how to share your wedding website](/blog/how-to-share-your-wedding-website), and the save-the-date wording in [wedding website vs paper invitations](/blog/wedding-website-vs-paper-invitations). ## Passwords, personal links and search: how they fit together - Hidden from search engines: on by default. Nobody finds the site by searching your names. Opt in with one click if you want a public page. - Personal RSVP links: each guest’s link opens their own invitation. Guest names and answers are never on the public page. - Password: optional, on top of both. Anyone with the link still needs the word to see the page. Pick the combination that matches your worry. Worried about search: do nothing, it is handled. Worried about the link being forwarded: add a password. Worried about guests RSVPing for people you did not invite: that is the personal link’s job, covered in [how to say no plus-ones](/blog/how-to-say-no-plus-ones-on-your-wedding-website). The privacy defaults are summarized in the [free wedding website FAQ](/blog/free-wedding-website-faq). ## Setting it up on Eventi Password protection is one toggle in the site settings, next to the search-engine setting. Turn it on, type the word, save. The site asks for it the first time a guest opens the page and remembers the answer on that phone, so a guest who comes back for the schedule a month later does not type it again. You can change the word or turn the password off after publishing without changing the link; the [step-by-step guide](/blog/how-to-make-a-wedding-website) shows where the setting lives, and the rest of the privacy defaults are on the [pricing page](/pricing) under what is included for free. ## Mistakes to avoid - Changing the password after the save-the-dates are printed. Decide once. - Using a different password for the registry or the photo album. One password for everything. - Capital letters in the printed version. Guests will type them, and some sites are case-sensitive. - Forgetting to tell the wedding party. They are the people guests will ask. - A password that is also the site name. Pick a name from the [name ideas](/blog/wedding-website-name-ideas) and a password from a different list. On Eventi the password, the search-engine setting and personal RSVP links are all free, and you can turn any of them on or off after publishing. The [step-by-step guide](/blog/how-to-make-a-wedding-website) covers where each setting lives, and the [template gallery](/wedding-website/templates) is the place to start if you have not built the site yet. ## Frequently asked questions ### Should I password protect my wedding website? ### What is a good password for a wedding website? ### How do I tell guests the wedding website password? ### Does a password hide my wedding website from Google? ### Do guests need the password if they have a personal RSVP link?
