Daymarked gives a couple two different ways to see their timeline, built for different situations. A share link is the fastest way to hand someone a schedule. A client account is the right call when the couple needs to talk back: commenting on blocks, answering a questionnaire, that kind of thing.
The share link
To create the link, click Share on a wedding and choose Copy link. Daymarked mints a URL tied to that wedding. Anyone who opens it sees the timeline exactly as it stands, with no login and no account needed. Hand it to a maid of honor, a DJ, or a parent who only needs to know when the ceremony starts.
The link is read-only and always current. It isn't a snapshot from the day you sent it: move the first dance twenty minutes later next week, and the same link reflects that change the next time anyone opens it, without you resending anything. The page says so, too — the footer shows the date the timeline was last updated, so a couple comparing the link against an older PDF can see which one is current.
The link stays live for as long as the wedding does, and it doesn't expire when the wedding date passes. The only thing that turns it off is you archiving the wedding, which is exactly the point: a wedding you're wrapping up shouldn't still be reachable by anyone who kept the URL. Unarchive the wedding and the same link works again. You can also revoke a link outright from the Share panel, which invalidates the URL for good; the next click on it 404s.
Client accounts
A client account is a real login, scoped to a single wedding. Invite the couple by email from the wedding's client list, and each of them gets an access link. Opening it asks for their email, then emails a 6-digit code to enter. There's no password to set or remember.
Once signed in, a couple sees their timeline the same way the share link shows it, plus the things a read-only link can't offer: they can comment directly on individual blocks, and send wedding-level messages back to you. Both notify you when a couple posts one. If you've sent a questionnaire, a client account is also where they fill it in and check its status.
Comments only work on blocks you've marked visible to clients in the first place. A block you've hidden from the couple stays hidden from their comments as well, not only from their view of the timeline. Revoke a client's access from the same list you invited them from, and their session and any pending invite stop working immediately.
Which to use when
Default to the share link for anyone who only needs to see the schedule: the wedding party, a vendor confirming their call time, a parent checking when to arrive. It costs you nothing to hand out and asks nothing of the person receiving it.
Reach for a client account specifically for the couple, and specifically when you want them able to weigh in: flagging a block that needs a closer look, answering your questionnaire, asking a question about a detail you haven't nailed down yet. If all they need is to read the schedule, the share link does that with less friction. Save the account for when the conversation needs to run both ways.
Internal notes never reach either
Anything you write in a block's internal notes (a vendor's real contact info, a note to yourself about a tricky family situation, a reminder about a payment) stays inside your own view of the timeline. It's excluded from the data both the share link and a client account are built from, rather than hidden by a UI toggle, so there's no setting that could accidentally expose it. Write what you need to remember there without worrying about who else might see it.
