Choose public, invite-only, or temporarily hidden access

Last updated on Aug 02, 2026

You can choose how open or private your wedding site should feel, and you can hide it temporarily without undoing your work.

Public or invite-only access:

  1. Open Settings and find Privacy mode.

  2. Leave Invite-only access off when anyone with your wedding URL may view the site.

  3. Turn it on when only invited guests should be able to unlock the site. Privacy mode is a Premium feature.

In private mode, guests can unlock the site through their personal invitation link and email, or by entering their invite email and invite code on the locked page. Each invited guest needs an email for private access to work. After verification, LumiWed remembers that guest on the device for later visits.

Temporarily hide a live site:

  1. In Settings, find Site visibility.

  2. Turn on Hide wedding site. The wedding URL and invitation links will show a short unavailable message.

  3. Keep using Preview in your dashboard while you make changes.

  4. Turn Hide wedding site off when you are ready. The published site becomes visible again without another publish.
