How do you share a wedding website password in a private message?

Short answer

Send the password in a private message to each guest individually, not in a group chat. Use a separate message from the invitation link, and avoid putting it in the subject line or any public post.

The safest way to share a password is to message each guest directly, whether by text, email or a private social media message. That way you know exactly who has it, and you can keep track of who has confirmed they can access the site. If you have a large guest list, you can ask a member of your bridal party to help send messages, but make sure they use your exact wording.

Do not post the password in a public Facebook event, on Instagram stories or in a group chat where someone might forward it. If you are using email, put the password in the body of the email, not the subject line. You can also send the website link in one message and the password in a follow-up message, which adds a small layer of protection.

If you are using a wedding website service with private household links, you may not need a password at all. Check your website settings to see if you can send each guest a unique link instead. That is often easier for older guests who struggle with passwords. If you do use a password, remind guests to save it somewhere safe, like in their phone notes.
