What should be agreed before sharing a wedding invitation in a large WhatsApp group?

Direct answer
Agree who may receive or forward the invitation before sharing it in a large group, especially if it contains private contacts or access details.
State whether the invitation applies only to named guests and provide an organiser's channel for questions. Avoid adding guests to a group that exposes their phone numbers unnecessarily. Once forwarded, an image or link may escape the intended audience, so keep sensitive details out where possible. A forwarding request helps communicate boundaries but cannot guarantee that every recipient will honour them.
