Who can see your wedding invitation link?
Understand link forwarding, guest information and public samples before sharing a wedding invitation through messages or social media.
Anyone the link reaches: forwarding it is one tap, so treat every detail on the page as potentially public. Send the invitation directly to the guests you invited, keep home addresses and phone numbers off it, and remember that a hard-to-guess URL hidden from search is not guest-only access.
Use the practical worksheet ↓Decide what belongs on the shared page
Review addresses, contact numbers, family details and photographs before publishing them. If a sensitive instruction is only for one guest, send it through a suitable direct channel rather than adding it to the general invitation. Ask permission before including somebody else’s phone number as a contact. Avoid publishing a complete guest list just to make RSVP follow-up easier.
Understand what your link can and cannot do
Messaging recipients can forward links or take screenshots. Ask guests not to repost the invitation, but do not mistake that request for a technical restriction. Check the actual access settings of your selected product if you need authentication. Wedvite’s public demo is intentionally shareable; it must not be confused with your own customer invitation or an editor link.
The embedded Toscana sample is public and in English. It is not a customer invitation.
Put it into practice
Decide what happens if the link is forwarded
Worked example · fictional, not a customer story. Replace the details with your own confirmed arrangements.
You send an invitation privately, then a relative forwards it to a family group. Private delivery did not make the page access-controlled. Before sharing, decide whether everything visible could safely reach an unintended reader. Move room allocations, individual dietary notes and private contact lists into a more appropriate channel.
If your situation changes
- Information is sensitive
- Do not put it on a general shareable page. Use an access-controlled system or an agreed private conversation suitable for the information.
- You need restricted access
- Verify the exact product feature before relying on it. An unlisted URL, noindex tag or personalised greeting is not authentication.
- You are concerned a link has spread
- Check the actual access controls and available replacement or removal process. Do not assume deleting the original message withdraws every copy.
Make your own plan
Replace the example prompts with your notes. Copy the worksheet before leaving this page; it is not saved here.
Your notes stay in this page’s memory and are masked from session replay. We count editing and copying actions, not the text you enter. Avoid sensitive details; copied notes go to your device’s clipboard.
You are done when… You understand what an unintended recipient can see and have removed information that does not belong on a shareable invitation.
Before you send
- ✓ No editor or management token in guest messages
- ✓ Contact details shared with permission
- ✓ Sensitive instructions sent separately
- ✓ Guest-facing link checked before delivery
Example to adapt
We’re sharing our wedding details directly with invited guests. Please keep this invitation within your household and avoid posting the link publicly. If another guest needs the details, ask us and we’ll send the right invitation.
Questions and answers
Does ‘noindex’ make an invitation private?
No. It asks supporting search engines not to index the page; it does not stop someone opening or forwarding the URL. Access control is a separate capability.
Can I share the link from the editor address bar?
Use the product’s guest-sharing flow instead. Editor and management links may grant access that guests should not have. Open the intended guest link separately to verify it.
