How to Choose a Theme and Set a Password for Your Wedding Website

Your wedding website should look beautiful and reflect your style. The Theme settings let you choose colors, fonts, and decorations that match your wedding aesthetic. The Password settings let you protect your website so only invited guests can view it. This tutorial covers both settings to help you customize and secure your wedding website.

What Theme and Password Settings Control

These settings determine:

• Your website’s visual style – Colors, fonts, and floral decorations
• Access control – Whether your website is public or password-protected

Unlike content pages with blocks, these are configuration settings that affect your entire website.

• Guests must enter the password to view your website
• Only people who know the password can see your content
• The password protects all pages on your website

2. Enter your desired password
3. The password saves automatically
4. Your website is now password-protected

Enter a password to protect your website

Choosing a Good Password

Your wedding website password should be:

• Easy to share – You’ll give it to guests, so keep it simple
• Easy to remember – Guests shouldn’t struggle to recall it
• Unique enough – Not something easily guessed by strangers

Good examples:

• Your wedding date: “June2024”
• Your names: “JamesAndSarah”
• A meaningful word: “Mapenzi” (love in Swahili)

Avoid:

• Generic passwords like “password” or “1234”
• Overly complex passwords guests will forget
• Anything embarrassing to share

Managing Your Password

Once a password is set, the settings page shows that protection is enabled.

Password Enabled State

When your website is password-protected, you’ll see:

• Indication that password protection is active
• Option to change or remove the password

Password protection is now active

Changing Your Password

To change the password:

1. Go to Password settings
2. Enter a new password in the field
3. The new password saves automatically
4. Share the new password with guests

Removing the Password

To make your website public:

1. Go to Password settings
2. Clear the password field
3. Password protection is disabled
4. Anyone can view your website

How Password Protection Works for Guests

What Guests See

When a guest visits your password-protected website:

1. They see a password prompt screen
2. They enter the password you shared
3. If correct, they can access the full website
4. Their access is remembered for that browser session

Guests see this password prompt when visiting your protected website

Session-Based Access

Once a guest enters the correct password:

• They can browse all pages without re-entering it
• Closing the browser clears their access
• They’ll need to enter the password again in a new session

Sharing Your Password

You’ll need to share the password with guests:

• In your invitation – Include it with RSVP details
• In save-the-dates – Share early access
• Via message – Text or email to guests

Example: “Visit our website at harusihub.com/james-sarah. The password is ‘June2024’.”

When to Use Password Protection

Reasons to Protect Your Website

• Privacy – Keep wedding details from the public
• Exclusivity – Only invited guests see information
• Pre-announcement – Hide the website until you’re ready to share

Reasons to Leave It Public

• Easy access – Guests don’t need to remember a password
• Search visibility – Public websites can be found online
• Open celebration – Nothing to hide

Common Approach

Many couples:

1. Start with password protection during planning
2. Share the password with invited guests
3. Optionally remove the password after the wedding
