Can you make a wedding website private?

Short answer

Yes, you can make a wedding website private. Most website builders let you set a password or hide the site from search engines, so only guests with the link can see it. You control who has access.

Privacy is easy to manage on a wedding website. You can choose to keep the site completely hidden from search engines, so it only appears for people who have the exact web address. Many couples also add a password, which they share with guests on the invitation or by email. This is useful if you want to include details like the venue map, the gift list, or the dress code without making them public.

If you are worried about strangers finding your site, look for settings that say "private", "password protected", or "no index". These options stop search engines from listing your page. You can also turn off comments or RSVP forms if you prefer guests to reply by post or phone.

Remember that even a private site can be shared by a guest, so avoid putting anything truly sensitive on it, like your home address or bank details. For a small wedding, a private site with a simple password is often enough. If you are unsure how to set this up, check the help pages of the website builder you are using, or ask a friend who has made one before.
