Stop Your Wedding Website from Showing Up On Google

We've all seen Wedding Crashers and we all have the same fear: some random person out there will stumble across my wedding website, get all the info, and show up at my wedding for free booze and crab cakes. No thank you!


If you can upload files to your wedding website's server, you can prevent your site from showing up on Google and other search engines.

In Notepad or some other text editor, create a file called robots.txt with two lines:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Upload the file to the top-level directory of your wedding website (wherever your front page is, usually called index.html).

That's all you need to do to prevent your wedding website from showing up in Google search results like ours did!
