Entertainment reporter Rob Shuter reported in his “Naughty But Nice” newsletter that invited guests received instructions to keep two days free without learning the exact venue or ceremony schedule. According to the report, the invitations mention only “New York City” and the date, July 3, while leaving out the specific location.One source told Shuter, “It’s a wedding, not a Middle East peace summit. People have kids, jobs, businesses, and travel plans. They’re being asked to block off two full days and just wait for instructions. Guests are frustrated.”Another source shared a similar view, saying, “Taylor and Travis are taking the secrecy too far. Everyone understands wanting privacy, but at some point it starts feeling like they don’t trust the very people they’re inviting.”TMZ also reported that every invitation carries a personalized watermark. The reported move would allow organizers to identify the source if any invitation leaked online.
