My FMIL is graciously hosting our rehearsal dinner and asked if she could have a page on our website to share information about parking, etc. for guests. We want to password protect this so only people attending the rehearsal can see ... is that rude? We're having a small wedding and I don't want people to think EVERYONE is invited to the rehearsal. I just have some family members (aunts, uncles) who I can totally see getting on there and thinking that.

    Oh I don't like that idea at all. Everyone would still be able to see that there IS a page, just that they can't get into it. 
    Then if they ask for the passcode it could get awkward.
    I would leave that information off the website and either put the information in an invitation for the RD or use word of mouth.

    I don't like this either. 

    Just send out rehearsal information to those who need to be there separately via email or send a rehearsal dinner invite with enclosed info.

    I agree with PP.  Another option would be to make a separate website for the rehearsal dinner and send that link to RD guests only with the RD invite.

    or you can just sent an evite (if you're all so tech savvy that the interwebs work for your group) and consider it a completely separate event.

    I would def to an evite. That's what we did and it made it much easier for everyone. I believe evite.com allows you to invite people via email or social media to see the page so there are multiple avenues to go about it.

    Don't put anything on your wedding website that you wouldn't want to be public.  Send invitations for the rehearsal dinner with the info needed.  I did this and it worked out nicely.  Some people told me they had never received one for a rehearsal dinner before, but I was glad to do it so that there was no confusion about the plan for the evening.  I even found invitations at Target that were similar in style to our wedding invitations.
