How do you choose a wedding website password that guests can guess but strangers cannot?

The trick is to pick something meaningful to your guests but not searchable. Avoid your surnames, the venue name on its own, or your wedding date in a simple format like 120625, because those are easy for strangers to guess or find online.

Instead, use a detail from your invitation, such as the name of the street where you met, your pet's name, or the title of the song that played when you got engaged. If your guests have received a physical invitation, you can print the password on it. If you are sending e-invites, include it in the email or a private message.

Make it at least eight characters, mix in a number or a symbol, and avoid spaces. Test it on a friend who is not in the wedding party. If they can guess it from your public social media, change it. Remember, the password is not for security of state secrets, it is just to keep your photos and details away from casual browsers.
