Invitations

Opening the invitations page

1. From the Dashboard, find the event card and click Invitations in the card actions.
2. The invitations page opens (within the Dashboard layout — not a new tab).
3. The page has two sections: Compose (top) and Sent Invitations (bottom).

Adding recipients

Add one at a time

1. In the Recipients area, click + Add Recipient.
2. Enter the guest's email address (required) and name (optional, used for personalized greetings).
3. Repeat for each additional guest.
4. To remove a recipient, click the ✕ button next to their row.

Importing from a CSV file

For large guest lists, import recipients from a CSV file instead of adding them one by one.

1. Click Import from file in the recipients area.
2. Prepare your CSV file. Two formats are supported:
   • email,name — one row per guest (e.g., [email protected],Sarah)
   • Name <email> format — e.g., Sarah Johnson <[email protected]>
3. Select the CSV file. Maximum: 2,000 rows, 512 KB file size.
4. Recipients are parsed and added to the list. Review for any parsing errors shown in red.
5. Remove invalid entries before sending.

Composing your message

1. Enter a Subject line for the email (required).
2. Write the Message body in the text area (required).
3. The message is sent as plain text. Each guest receives a personalized copy with their name and a unique access link.
4. Click Save at any time to save the draft without sending.

AI draft Standard+

Let AI write the subject and message body based on your event details.

1. Click the AI Assist button in the compose section.
2. Fill in:
   • Event title — used as the basis for the draft
   • Tone — Formal, Semi-formal, or Casual
   • Custom notes — any specific details to include (e.g., dress code, RSVP deadline)
3. Click Generate draft. The subject and message fields are filled with the AI output.
4. Review and edit the draft as needed before sending.

Presets

Save frequently used subject and message combinations as presets so you don't have to retype them for each new event.

Save a preset

1. Compose your subject and message.
2. Click Save as preset.
3. Enter a preset name and confirm. The preset is saved to your account.

Load a preset

1. Click Load preset. A dropdown shows your saved presets.
2. Click a preset name to fill the subject and message fields.
3. Edit as needed before sending.

Delete a preset

1. Click Load preset to open the preset list.
2. Click the 🗑 delete icon next to the preset you want to remove.
3. Confirm deletion. The preset is removed permanently.

Sending invitations

1. Confirm your recipient list and message are ready.
2. The toolbar shows your remaining invitation quota (e.g., "7 / 10 remaining").
3. Click Send invitations. The button shows the number of recipients who will receive emails.
4. All recipients are submitted in a single request. A spinner is shown while the send is in progress.
5. Sending is asynchronous — invitations are queued and delivered in the background by the server. You'll see all entries appear in the Sent Invitations list with a "Queued" status immediately after the request completes.
6. Status updates to Sent as emails are delivered, or Failed if delivery could not be completed.

Over-quota sending

If you exceed your plan's invitation quota, a top-up option appears via Paddle (payment provider). Top-up credits are sold in bundles of 10 for $4.50/bundle and never expire — if you need 1,000 extra credits, that's 100 bundles. You can also buy a top-up anytime from the Plan tab in Account & settings, not just when you're over quota.

Tracking responses

The Sent Invitations section shows all invitations sent for the current event. Each row shows:

• Guest name and email
• Delivery status: Queued → Sent → Failed
• RSVP status: Pending, Accepted, or Declined
• Decline message: if the guest declined and included a note
• Sent date

Resending and managing

Resend an invitation

1. Find the invitation in the Sent Invitations list.
2. Click Resend on that row. A fresh copy of the invitation is queued for delivery.
3. This uses one invitation quota credit.

Copy the guest's access link

1. Find the accepted invitation in the list.
2. Click Copy link to copy the guest's unique event link to your clipboard.
3. Share it via another channel if needed (e.g., WhatsApp, SMS).

Delete an invitation record

1. Click Delete on an invitation row to remove it from your records.
2. This does not invalidate the guest's access link if they already accepted.
