Wedding website public??

Eek I'm not a huge fan of sharing on Facebook. It makes for an awkward situation for your 'friends' that aren't invited!

That's how I feel too! I just don't know how to let everyone know about hotel options, registry and all

Horrible idea!!!

Mine is private and password protected.

Limit what you share about your wedding on social media.

If they need more info they will call you.

We had a lot of guests overlook the website on our STD too....it's annoying, but it happens. I had to continuously repeat the URL to the same people over and over. Do you have a list of the email addresses for guests that keep asking? You could bcc a message out to them with the link to the website!

You're asking for a Pandora's box of trouble if you post it on FB! Opens the door to people inviting themselves and/or hurt feelings.

If you think your friends look at Facebook more than your wedding website, you could make a private group or an event on Facebook, with only those people who are invited.

I don't care about the password and needing it to be private. I care more about not wanting to show off and over post about my wedding. We have over 150 people invited......hoping they don't all call us.....lol.

Those are great ideas WWKATIE and 2D Bride!

If people are asking and they are on your invite list, I'd just answer their question privately. A lot of times, people only look at the website when they're ready to find your registry info (closer to your wedding or shower) and if they can RSVP online. Since you just sent out STDs, no one is being asked to RSVP, yet, and you probably don't have a shower coming up.

I've found that it's better not to share wedding details with friends who aren't on your guest list. If they ask a question, you can politely answer, but you really shouldn't bring it up first (and posting the link on Facebook would be seen this way). Feelings could get hurt, and if your website is setup to take RSVPs, someone without a STD could try to RSVP, even if they aren't on your guest list.

The only reason a guest could have for looking at your website after receiving the STD would be if they are not local to the city and could be interested in getting travel and hotel info. I'd suggest emailing these guests in particular so you can just make sure they know this info is available. If you really want to make sure all your guests know your website exists, send the link to all of them. Just don't post it publicly and you should be fine.

I would not share it on Facebook. We put it on our STD's and have only gotten 6 views on it. But maybe more people will look after invites go out because we will put the website on an enclosure card.

When i first made my website, i was so excited i posted it on facebook. I wish i hadnt as it caused some awkward conversations with people who are not invited, thought they should be in the WP, etc. I have taken it down and will just spread it word of mouth and on the stds

Create a private Facebook group and invite the ones you want to invite!

Do not share ok Facebook. Word of mouth will have to do and I second WWKatie's suggestion about bc'cing your contacts.

I would make it public, let your guests know you have one and give them the link or search tool. I wouldn't put it on Facebook because you never know who exactly is looking at it!

I created a private Facebook group. I have 42 members in the group, but only 17 people have even looked at it & only 24 people out of 120 have looked at my website.

You can create a private event on FB and invite only those guest you sent a STD to the event page. On that page, you can share your wedding website and other additional info leading up to the wedding. Just an idea

No! It would be a huge mistake to open your website to people who are not invited...

To sum it up, there's been a lot of posts on here about problems coming about from people seeing wedding information on Facebook.

I can't talk, most of my wedding planning was kept a secret, even the wedding itself. Or so I thought- I good friend of mine who I did invite sent me a instant message telling me that she was getting notifications that I was liking wedding planning things on facebook.

I was setting them to be viewed only by me, but that wasn't happening. It was only a few weeks this was going on, and I had to tell people I was looking up information for someone.

If memory serves, I think there were a few posts about relatives posting a picture of the wedding invite on facebook, leaving people not on the guest list to think they were invited. So please be careful!
