our friend just made a website that has a password, and i do admit i'd visit (stalk) it more if it didn't have a password. they have a blog and i'm always curious about an update, but i'm a little lazy about looking up the password. their webpage is pretty awesome though, they did it through
I don't think I'd visit it more than once if it had a password...with no password, I tend to stalk wedding websites!!!
Honestly, as long as you're relatively careful about the information that's up there (no home address or anything) I wouldn't worry too much about it!
I just made the password something REALLY easy to remember. Sure they have to insert a password, but if they can't remember it, they're nuts. So maybe you're getting married in Chicago, the password is Chicago. Or maybe it's your last name or his. Something very simple like that.
Even my grandma was able to use mine, and she's 84!
I really don't think that random people are out to find wedding websites anyhow.
I honestly wouldn't visit it if there was a password. I have a website and that was honestly never a thought. It's so common and I've never heard of anything happening from info from a wedding site. Is your blog private? I have one on mywedding.com and a lot of my gfs have theirs on theknot.com
@Tonya2010 and @mrsdmurraytobe - Have you ever googled your name, username or email address? I have googled my own and that is my concern.
It appears that most wedding sites are not terribly concerned about privacy from what I've read about Macy's registries showing up on the Knot and uploaded photos showing up in ads. I want my wedding details like location, time and hotel to be just for the invited people not the entire Internet.
If your concern is random people who don't know you finding out your information... keep in mind they need to know your last name and first name to find your wedding website easily. Same for registry.
If you don't want people you actually know who haven't been invited to find your information... then I'd go with a password. I agree with mightysapphire, use something super easy. Even if it seems obvious to you, people aren't going to be able to guess it right off the bat.
We only required a password for specific pages: such as RSVP or details on where the ceremony was. Everything else was open for the masses! But we had no complaints, and only one person asked for a refresher on the password.

I really want a wedding site because I already blog and think it would be super helpful to my guests and me. But I want to protect my info and only share details with people invited to my wedding.
For the bees with password protected wedding sites- has the password been helpful or a pain? Do people lose the password or do you feel people haven't visited it as much because of the password?
I like that weddingwire.com has a password option but they don't have a blog page, which I want (you can link to one but that creates more privacy issues). So I looked on mywedding.com and they also have password protected options but then each guest has to sign up for the site, which is an extra step and forcing my guests to give away their email addresses.
Tell me what you did to protect your info for wedding sites, registries or blogs and how hard it was!
