How do you make a wedding website password that is secure against hackers?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Use a random combination of three unrelated words, a number and a symbol, like "candle7mint!tree". Avoid names, dates, venues and anything you have posted online. Change it if you suspect a leak.

A wedding website password does not need to be as secure as your bank password, but you should still stop casual snoopers. The best approach is to use three random words that have no connection to you or your wedding, for example "candle", "mint" and "tree". Add a number and a symbol, like "candle7mint!tree". That is hard to guess but still possible to type if you write it down for guests.

Do not use your names, your pet's name, your wedding date, your venue or your engagement story. Hackers often look at public social media to guess passwords. Also avoid common phrases like "love" or "forever". If you are using a wedding website service, check if it has two-factor authentication or a way to see who has logged in. Some services let you reset the password easily, which is useful if you think someone has shared it.

Remember that the main risk is not a professional hacker, but a guest who wants to see details you have kept private, like the venue or the gift list. A secure password keeps those details safe. If you are very worried, use a unique link for each guest instead of a password, which is more secure.
