Should we password protect our wedding website?

  I put a password on ours. When we sent save the dates I just put the password underneath the website address.  Why would it be tacky?  It's the opposite of AW, in my opinion. I just didn't want the whole world to be able to access our site.

  Ours is not, but we had it password protected while we were working on it and forgot to remove the password! I had people email me asking for it. Very embarrassing.

  I password protected mine since I'm a teacher and I didn't want all my info out there.

  We did not, but I made it non-searchable (meaning you have to actually type in the URL) and didn't put anything personal beyond first names and date and location.

  I will be password-protecting mine.  I don't think it's tacky.  The only thing that concerns me is if a family member bookmarks the URL, throws away the STD, and then forgets the password.  I guess I might field a few emails if that happens.  But I don't want my personal info all over the place, I won't even put my first name on TK.

  Ours is pw-protected.  I want to limit my Google footprint as much as possible.

  I considered it but my info is already so out there anyway (yay for working with government organizations!) that people seeing my wedding website is the least of my concerns. I'd be more worried about some of my college drinking pictures making it to the internet!

  We password protected ours (used Wedding Window as well, which I love). We made the password the date of the wedding (MMDDYYYY), which is something non-guests would know if they know when the wedding is. I just figured it would prevent the entire world from seeing it.

  Certain sections of ours is password protected like location, date, time and room block information.

  We are only password protecting the key guest info on the site such as location and times and guest info because we don't want specific people crashing the wedding long story. I think it's only tacky if everything except registry info was pword protected.

  Password protected. We have contact info on the site, wouldn't want that to get out.

  We used something easy and funny for our password, funny makes it more memorable for our folks.

  I haven't put a password on mine, because none of the information is really private. If I add things like our personal contact info later, I might.

  We password protected ours.  There are a lot of crazies out there.  I don't want them knowing the details of our wedding.  We also have some concerns regarding certain people trying to crash.

  Don't worry guys, I have the Wedding Police AND the Whambulance on speed dial!

  We did not password protect ours.  We have a few non-tech savvy guests that have a hard enough time just going to the website, let alone dealing with passwords.

  But, I was careful to keep any contact info off the site and even created a new e-mail address just for wedding use, so we wouldn't get junk in our regular e-mail and can shut it down post wedding. We don't even say which state we live in, and our wedding is out of state so that doesn't give it away. We have our wedding info (date, time, location), but since we are getting married on a cruise ship, guests need to be on the pre-submitted list and go through customs, so there is absolutely zero risk of wedding crashers.

  Can I ask where you ladies made your sites? I don't think TK websites have that option. And I don't know many places to make a site for free.
