Quick Answer
Direct answer: Publish what guests need, restrict information that exposes private people or logistics, and omit unnecessary personal contact data.
How this tool works
A wedding website should make attendance easy without becoming a public directory of guests, rooms, phone numbers, or private logistics. The least-data principle is a useful starting point.
Methodology and assumptions
| Input or rule | Method used |
|---|---|
| Visibility | Public pages require more caution because anyone can discover the information. |
| Hotel details | Publish only what guests need. |
| Guest names | A public guest list is usually unnecessary. |
| Contact details | Generic wedding contacts reduce personal-data exposure. |
| Travel details | Give practical guidance without private itineraries. |
| Policies | State children and guest rules without exposing individual circumstances. |
Worked examples
Public website
Keep practical details but remove personal contacts and unnecessary guest data.
Invite-only site
Restricted access can reduce exposure, but sensitive information should still be minimized.
Destination wedding
Travel guidance is useful; room numbers and private itineraries are not.
Common mistakes
- Publishing guest phone numbers.
- Posting hotel room assignments.
- Assuming an unlisted URL is strong access control.
- Publishing more data because it is convenient.
- Forgetting that screenshots and forwarded links can spread information.
