When to use a public link
Create a public link when someone needs a browser view of the wedding-day schedule without access to your Wedding Desk account. Use print for a paper or PDF copy and the text download for a simple offline backup.
Check the times, shots, vendor details and gear on their own pages before you share them, because the link always shows the current plan.
Create or update a link
- Open Wedding Timeline and choose Share / Print.
- In the Share the timeline card, tick what to add under Also include in the link.
- Choose Create link.
- Copy the link from the Public link field, or use the copy button next to it.
The timeline itself is always part of the link. Depending on your plan you can also add Shots, Contacts, Phones and Gear.
Phones can only be ticked when Contacts is ticked, and publishing phone numbers asks you to confirm first with Publish phone numbers.
To change what a link shows, tick or untick the boxes and choose Save.
How long the link works
A public link stops working seven days after the wedding date. The line under the link says until when it works, so read it there instead of assuming a fixed period.
Because the expiry is counted from the wedding date and not from the day you created the link, creating it earlier does not shorten it and creating it late does not extend it. Once the wedding is more than seven days in the past, Wedding Desk refuses to create a new link for that project.
An existing link keeps working until that date or until you choose Stop sharing. A change to the account's beta access does not remove an already shared link early.
A project without a valid wedding date falls back to 90 days from the moment you create the link. Adding the wedding date in Project details is the more reliable option.
Stop sharing
Choose Stop sharing and confirm. The current public link stops working immediately, before the expiry date.
The recipient can view only what you ticked. A share link does not provide editing access or a Wedding Desk account.
Review before sending
Open the copied link and check what is visible. Confirm that phone numbers are included only when the recipient needs them and that the timeline reflects the current plan.
