How do you make a wedding website password that is meaningful but not obvious?

Short answer

Choose a password from a private memory, like your first holiday together or a pet's nickname, then add a number. Avoid names, dates and words visible on your invitations or social media.

A meaningful password should mean something to you and your partner, but not to anyone else. Think of a shared joke, the street you first lived on, or the name of the song that was playing when you got engaged. Add a number that has personal significance, like your flat number or the year you met, but not your wedding date or your surnames.

Avoid anything that appears on your save the dates, invitations or public social media posts. That includes your venue name, your wedding hashtag and your pet's name if you post about them often. If you are worried guests will guess it, make it slightly longer or add a second word. You can also use a phrase with no spaces, like "blueboatseven".

Remember that the password is there for privacy, not for security against determined hackers. A meaningful password that is easy for your guests to remember is more useful than a random one they will need to look up. If you are worried, you can change it later, but tell everyone if you do.
