Frequently Asked Questions

Click "Create Event" and pick a design: birthday, baby shower, graduation and wedding (the occasions hosts create most) lead the list, each playing its intro animation, or start from scratch on the Classic layout, or browse every template with a live preview. The editor opens with a sample title, date and note already filled in, so you can create the event in one click and change anything later. You can design the whole page before signing up; a free account publishes it and gives you a shareable link and QR code.

Your work is kept on that device. While you build an event, the title, date, details, design and RSVP settings are saved in your browser a second after each change. The next time you open the create page in the same browser, a "Pick up where you left off?" card offers to restore it, or you can discard it and start fresh. Photos are not kept, so add those again, and the draft is dropped after two weeks or once the event is created. If the Create button is greyed out, the line above the page says what is missing: a title, a date, or both.

Yes. The Help Center at /help has a page for each part of the product (creating an event, the editor, banners, the RSVP form, the guest list, seating, RSVP fees and more), each with labeled screenshots of the real screens. Inside the app, "Help" in the navigation pane and the small help link on each event tab open the matching page in a new tab.

Yes. Visit /template to browse 103 curated looks across our 45 page layouts (Classic, Editorial, Envelope, Postcard, Ticket, Boarding Pass, Polaroid, and more), plus a Seasonal set with a template for every holiday layout, including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Diwali, Día de los Muertos, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Templates for holidays in the next six weeks are listed first, and you can filter by design family or occasion. Each pairs a layout with a palette, fonts, page effect and intro reveal. Click "Use this template" and the create page opens with the picks applied and a sample title and date filled in; everything stays editable. To switch later, use the Templates button in the editor: it restyles the whole design while your title, date, details and RSVP settings stay, and Undo restores the previous look.

Yes! Our free tier allows you to create up to 5 active events with up to 20 RSVPs each, and you'll receive host notification emails whenever someone RSVPs. This is perfect for small gatherings, birthday parties, or testing out the platform. You can upgrade anytime if you need more capacity. Paid events don't count toward the 5; an account can hold up to 15 upcoming events at once.

No! Your guests simply click the event link you share, fill out the RSVP form, and submit. It's completely frictionless for them - no account required, no app to download.

A guest can reply with just a name if you choose. The form asks for an email by default; in RSVP Settings you can make it optional or turn it off, on every plan. A phone number is asked for only if you add that field, and you decide whether it is required. RSVPlinks never sends guests text messages or asks them to verify a phone.

The Sign-Up List (available on paid tiers) lets you create categories like "Appetizers", "Desserts", or "Drinks" with optional quantity limits. Guests can sign up to bring items when they RSVP. You can display who signed up for what on the public event page, and guests receive automatic email reminders about what they signed up for at 7 days and 1 day before the event. You can create up to 15 categories per event.

Yes. Type the event name as usual, then click the eye button beside the title in the editor (it reads "Shown" or "Hidden"). The page stops drawing the title over your photo, while the name is still used everywhere a guest needs it: invitation and confirmation emails, reminders, calendar entries, the browser tab and the link preview. A title has to be a real name, so a placeholder such as a single period is not accepted.

Table Management is a per-event add-on on paid tiers ($6 or 1 credit). Lay out round or long tables and room labels (stage, bar, dance floor), then seat each party by dragging it onto a table, using its "Seat" menu, or letting Auto-seat fill tables while keeping parties together. Attending and pending-payment guests are ready to seat; if someone declines, their seats free up and the editor flags them. Changes save automatically, with undo. The guest page (with a QR code for a welcome sign) lets guests type their name to find their table; you choose what it shows: invitation colors, table and guest counts, selected RSVP answers and meal totals per table. Print the chart or save it as a PDF (A-to-Z guest list, a card per table, room layout), or export a CSV for your venue or caterer.

In your guest list, tap Edit (the pencil on a phone) on the guest’s row. A window opens where you can change their name, email, phone, status, and how many adults and children are in the party — use the + and − buttons or type the number. Press Save changes and your guest counts update straight away. The Edit, Address and Delete buttons stay pinned to the right of each row, so you never have to scroll sideways to reach them.

Yes, on every plan. Above the guest list, type in the search box to find a guest by name, email, phone number, confirmation code or sign-up item, or by a word from their message or their answers ("vegetarian"); accents and capitals don’t matter, so "zoe" finds "Zoë". Press a guest’s name to see their whole reply in one place: contact details, party size, message, answers and when they replied. The chips beside it (All, Attending, Pending Payment, Maybe, Waitlisted, Declined) show how many guests are in each group and narrow the list to that reply with one tap. Search and a chip work together, and Clear puts the whole list back.

Yes, free on every event. On your event dashboard, press the Gifts chip above the guest list: type each gift next to the guest who gave it and tick Thank-you once your note is sent. A bar counts gifts, thank-yous sent and how many are left, the Thank-you to send filter lists who you still owe, and both columns are in the CSV export. Guests never see it.

Yes, on every plan. On the day, open your event dashboard on a phone and tap the Check-in chip above the guest list. Each row then has one Check in button; type a name in the search box to find a guest, tap Check in, and the row turns green with the arrival time. A bar at the top counts parties and guests arrived out of those expected, and "Not arrived yet" lists who is still to come. Tap Arrived to undo a mistake. Co-hosts you invited as Editors can check guests in from their own phones at the same time, and the arrival time is included in the CSV export.

Yes. If a party is too big for one table (say 11 adults and 4 kids at tables of 10), open its "Seat" menu in Table Management and choose "Split party". Pick up to 10 parts and how many adults and kids go in each; the parts must add up to the RSVP’s total. Each part keeps the RSVP name with a label like "The Lee Family (1 of 2)" and is seated like any party. Guests searching the seating page find every table their party is at. Meal totals count the party’s answers once, at part 1’s table. Use "Edit split" to change the numbers or "Join back together" to undo. If the guest later changes their RSVP, the parts are flagged "Party changed" so you can fix them.

Yes. In Table Management, open Templates, pick an arrangement (even rows, center aisle, cross aisles, open dance floor, stage up front or an open side), then enter expected guests and seats per table. The room lays out for you (up to 200 tables) and grows longer so tables never pile up. To fine-tune, turn on Snap to grid in the Align menu, use "Line up rows and columns", or shift-click several tables to move, align or space them together. Everything can be undone.

Yes. Open Table Management from your event dashboard and it runs with sample guests, so you can build your room, drag guests around and preview the guest page for free. The tables and room layout you build are kept when you unlock it for your real guests; the sample guests are never shown to anyone else.

Yes! With our paid tiers, you can add up to 10 custom questions to your RSVP form. There are five answer types: Short answer (free-form replies like dietary restrictions or song requests), Multiple choice (guests pick one of your options), Checkboxes (guests pick every option that applies, e.g. which weekend activities they will join), Quantity (guests choose how many of each — perfect for meal selection, e.g. 2× Beef, 1× Vegetarian), and Guest names (one name box for each extra person in a party, for seating charts and place cards). The Add question menu also offers Mailing address, which adds a street / city / state / ZIP field only you can see (that field is on every plan: switch on "Collect mailing address" in RSVP Settings). You can reorder questions, mark any of them required, ask a question only of guests who are attending (so someone who declines is not asked for a meal choice), and edit a question from your dashboard without losing the answers already in. You can also use the Sign-Up List feature to coordinate what guests are bringing.

All hosts receive notification emails when someone RSVPs to their event — this is included on the free tier. Each notification also ends with a running RSVP summary for the whole event: how many are going, said maybe, or can’t make it (plus anyone awaiting payment or on the waitlist), and the total guest headcount (split into adults and kids if your form asks for them). Paid tier users get additional email features: guest confirmation emails when they submit their response, reminder emails before the event, and dedicated sign-up reminders at 7 days and 1 day before the event for guests who signed up to bring items. Two days after an event that got replies, you get one "thanks for hosting" email with the final tally, a way to send guests a thank-you card, and "Copy to a new date" to plan the next one.

Yes, on every plan, free included. Open Account Settings → Notifications and tap "Turn on alerts" under Phone & Browser Alerts; each RSVP then shows up as a notification with the guest's name, their reply and party size, and tapping it opens that event's dashboard. Alerts are set per device, so turn them on on each phone or computer you use, and co-hosts can turn them on for themselves. They work in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. On iPhone and iPad, first add RSVPlinks to your Home Screen (in Safari tap Share, then Add to Home Screen), open it from there and turn alerts on. On Android and desktop you can also install RSVPlinks as an app from the same card. Alerts are separate from email: turning one off leaves the other as it is. Guests never need to install anything.

Event Managers allow you to invite co-hosts or assistants to help manage your event. Available on paid tiers, you can grant different permission levels (Owner, Editor, or Viewer) to collaborators so they can view guest lists, send updates, or make changes to the event.

Absolutely! Paid tiers include capacity management features. You can set a maximum number of RSVPs (individual responses), limit total guests (total people including plus-ones), and cap group sizes per RSVP. You can also choose to display how many spots are left on your event page to create urgency. When your event reaches capacity you decide what happens next: leave "Open waitlist when full" on (the default) and new RSVPs are placed on a waitlist instead of being turned away, or switch it off and the RSVP form closes the moment the limit is reached. Either way your event page stays live — only the form locks.

You can raise or lower it at any time, and existing RSVPs are never affected. Open your event, click Edit, then scroll to the RSVP card and hit "Explore Premium" — the Max Guests row has an on/off toggle and a number box. Change the number (say 150 to 200) and press Save. The same controls live in the settings dock under Premium → Event Capacity Limits. Important: raising the limit does not automatically move anyone off the waitlist. Go to your guest list, find the waitlisted guests, and click the promote arrow on each one — they will each get an email letting them know they are in. Use the toggle, not an empty box, if you want to remove the limit entirely.

When you set a max RSVP or max guest limit and your event reaches capacity, any new "Attending" RSVPs are automatically placed on a waitlist — as long as "Open waitlist when full" is on, which it is by default. The waitlist keeps its order: while anyone is on it, a new "Attending" reply joins the end of the line even if a place has opened, and a waitlisted guest who edits their reply stays waitlisted until you promote them, so an open place goes to whoever you pick, not to whoever replied last. Turn that toggle off in Event Capacity Limits and a full event closes its RSVP form instead of collecting waitlist entries. Waitlisted guests receive a notification email letting them know the event is full and that they'll be contacted if a spot opens up. As the host, you can view all waitlisted guests in your guest list and manually promote them to "Attending" at any time — even if the event is at capacity, you'll get a confirmation prompt before overriding the limit. Promoted guests automatically receive an email letting them know they've been moved off the waitlist.

Yes. On paid tiers, set a "Close RSVP Date" in your event settings (under capacity limits). RSVPs stay open through the entire day you pick and close at the start of the next day — so a deadline of June 16 keeps the form open all of June 16 and closes on June 17. Once closed, the public RSVP form is grayed out with a "RSVPs are closed" message and no new responses (or changes) can be submitted, on both desktop and mobile. You, the host, can still add or edit guests from your dashboard. Need to stop responses right now, before your deadline? Use the "Close form now" button described in the next question — it works instantly and on every tier.

Yes, on every tier including Free. In RSVP Settings (dashboard tab or editor settings pane), press "Close form now" and the public form locks immediately with an "RSVPs closed" notice, while your event page, photos, details, map links and guest list stay as they are and shared links keep working. Press "Reopen form" to accept responses again; if your reply-by date has passed, reopening clears it so the form doesn’t close again. The one exception is a full event with the waitlist off: raise your guest or RSVP limit, or turn "Open waitlist when full" back on (the hint under the button says so).

Three things can lock it, and they are checked in this order. First, you or a manager pressed "Close form now" — clear it with "Reopen form". Second, your "Close RSVP Date" has passed; RSVPs stay open through the whole day you picked and close at the start of the next day. Third, your event hit its max guest or max RSVP limit while "Open waitlist when full" was off — raise the limit or turn the waitlist back on. The notice guests see names the reason, and the RSVP Form row in your settings tells you which one is currently in effect. In all three cases the event page itself stays public and you can still add or edit guests from your dashboard.

Invite Tracking (paid tiers) manages a list of people you plan to invite and tracks who has RSVPed. Add invitees one by one, upload a CSV from your email contacts, or paste a list with one entry per line; names are optional, so an email alone works. Send personalized invitation emails and reminders to non-responders from your dashboard. Status is tracked automatically: Pending, Sent, Viewed (clicked through to your event page), RSVPed, Expired, Bounced or Marked spam. Bounced means the address rejected our email (usually a typo or closed mailbox), so fix it and re-send. An invite already sent can be sent again after 3 days, the same spacing as reminders. Each event can send 5 invitation emails (reminders included) for every invitee its plan allows, 375 on Starter, and 10 Email Guests messages per guest; removing invitees doesn't give sends back, and upgrading the event raises both. We stop emailing bounced and spam-reporting addresses to protect delivery, and an invitee who replies from the button in your invitation email is linked automatically, whatever email they type. A reply through a link you shared yourself is linked when it uses the invited email.

Every event gets a beautiful, scannable QR code that links directly to your RSVP page. Download it and add it to printed invitations, posters, table cards, or any physical materials. Perfect for weddings, conferences, and events with printed collateral. Our guide on making a free RSVP QR code covers print sizing and how to make sure it scans.

The Guides section covers the questions hosts ask most — how to create an RSVP link, what an RSVP link actually is, how to set up a free RSVP website, how to make a printable RSVP QR code, and how to track RSVPs without a spreadsheet. Each one is a short, practical walkthrough rather than a feature list.

Yes! You can choose from multiple color palettes, 41 title fonts and 42 content fonts, animated page effects (like falling leaves, butterflies, or graduation caps tossed in the air) with separate Visibility (soft to vivid) and Amount (fewer to more) controls (guests can pause an effect with the button at the bottom left of the page, and anyone whose device asks for reduced motion never sees one), and different banner display modes. When you pick a title font, the content-font menu suggests three fonts that pair well with it, and small labels on your page (like the "A private gathering" qualifier) follow your content font automatically. You can click those labels in the editor to reword or hide them, including the heading on the RSVP form ("Your RSVP") — change it to "Will you come?" or anything else, on any layout. Every layout, website look, palette, font, effect and intro reveal is free on every event. Paid tiers also let you remove the "Powered by RSVPlinks" line and set a custom URL slug.

Click the banner in the editor and choose Browse to see 59 categories of ready-made banners: solid colors, gradients, soft color blends, textures (marble, watercolor, linen, gold foil, glitter), patterns, and illustrated designs for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, holidays, parties and work events. Each occasion comes in several layouts, such as one large illustration, an all-over pattern, a garland across the top, or decorated corners. Holidays within the next six weeks appear first under "Coming up", with a countdown. You can also search by occasion (try "Halloween" or "marble"), upload your own image, or generate one with AI.

Yes. Click the banner in the editor and choose Design Your Own. Pick a shape (portrait 9:16, square or wide 16:9), add a photo if you like, and choose from 58 designs for birthdays, baby showers, weddings, graduations, parties and holidays. Each fills in your event title, date, time and location, so most hosts change only a few words. Edit design lets you change any text, add text boxes or one-tap lines like "Kindly RSVP below", pick fonts, colors, bold, italic and underline, and adjust vignette, fade, darken, blur and black-and-white. The Decor tab adds 18 decoration styles (bunting, streamers, a rainbow, bokeh lights, corners, a wreath and more) with holiday, seasonal and milestone themes, up to five colors, and eight frames. It works on a phone too. Lines linked to your event details update when you change the date or place, and the finished design becomes your event image on the page, in share previews and in emails.

Yes. After you upload your own image with Upload Design, choose Add text to image in the editor. Your image opens at its original shape in the same editor, where you can add text boxes, link lines to your event title, date and location, and style them with fonts, colors and effects. Animated GIFs under 4 MB keep playing when uploaded as they are; adding text turns a GIF into a still image, so the option is not offered for GIFs.

In the event editor, open the Color Palette picker. Palettes are organized into 11 mood groups — Neutral & Minimal, Soft Pastels, Warm Earth, Jewel Tones, Sunset & Citrus, Botanical, Nocturne, Nocturne Jewel, Gold & Ink, Neon & Vivid, and Playful — so you can browse by vibe rather than scroll through every option. Click any swatch to preview it live on your event page, and switch as often as you like before or after publishing. To use your own colors, open the Your colors tab and pick a page color and an accent, or type their hex codes; the rest of the theme is built around them.

Every host can claim a personal profile URL at rsvplinks.com/u/your-name. Your profile shows your name, bio, location, avatar, and every event you've chosen to publish to your profile — so repeat guests can find all of your gatherings in one place. Profiles are free, optional, and you can toggle them between public and private any time from Account Settings → Public Profile. Your profile URL can be changed once every 24 hours.

When a host's profile is public, visitors can click "Follow" to subscribe to future events. Followers get an email when the host publishes a new event to their profile (and an unsubscribe link in every message). Hosts can also receive an email when someone new follows them — this is controlled by the "Email me when someone follows me" toggle in Account Settings → Public Profile.

Yes. In Account Settings → Profile Information, the Popular Socials section lets you add your usernames for Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Snapchat. Enter just your handle (no @ or URL) and the platforms you fill in will show up as clickable icons on your public profile page at rsvplinks.com/u/your-name, right below your name, title, and location.

Yes — RSVP Fee is a $6 per-event add-on (or 1 credit) available on paid-tier events. Purchase it from the Add-On button on your event dashboard. It's a peer-to-peer payment process: you set the fee amount and choose which payment methods to accept (Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, Alipay, LINE Pay, WeChat Pay, or Cash at Door). When a guest RSVPs as Attending, they select a payment method and their RSVP lands in a "Pending Payment" state. They receive an email with your payment handle so they can send payment directly to you. Once you receive the funds, you approve their RSVP from the guest list, which moves them to Attending and sends them a confirmation email with a unique confirmation code. RSVPlinks does not process payments — it coordinates the P2P transfer between you and your guests. To get started, add your payment handles in Account Settings → Payment Information.

Yes, for Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App. Once a guest picks one of those methods, the RSVP form shows your handle plus a scannable QR code — on the form itself, again on the confirmation screen after they submit, and once more in their "Pending Payment" email. Scanning it with a phone camera opens the app straight to your profile with the exact amount and the event name already filled in, so the guest just taps send. Nothing extra to set up: the code is generated from the handle you saved in Account Settings → Payment Information. Zelle, Alipay, LINE Pay, and WeChat Pay don't publish a link format we can turn into a code, so those methods show your handle as text instead.

It depends on how you set the fee. "Per RSVP" charges one flat amount no matter how many people are in the party. "Per person" multiplies by the guest count — and if you're asking for adults and kids separately, you can set a different child rate. Guests always see the multiplied-out total, not just your rate: the RSVP form shows "Total due: $75" with the itemization ("3 × $25") underneath as they change their guest count, and their Pending Payment email repeats the same total, itemization, and pre-filled pay link. The amount is locked in when they submit, so editing your rate later won't change what an existing guest was told to pay. Once you approve a guest's payment they can still edit their reply, but not grow their party into a bigger fee: the form asks them to contact you instead, so the RSVP Fee tab never counts money you didn't receive.

Marketing Email is a per-event paid add-on for contact lists beyond the 500-row Invite Tracking importer. Buy capacity in $6 packs of 500 emails (or 1 credit per pack), up to 5,000 per event: at checkout on /pricing (bundled with a tier upgrade or other add-ons), from the Marketing Email tab via "Buy more emails" (paid-tier events only), or with credits. Then import your contacts (up to the cap you've bought), write a subject and body once, and send to one or all. Each row tracks Pending → Sent → Viewed → RSVPed (Failed if we couldn't hand it off, Bounced if the address rejected it, Marked spam if the recipient reported it), and an RSVP from a recipient's email links to that row. It is independent of Invite Tracking, whose 500-row importer is unchanged.

While editing an event, hosts with a profile URL will see a "Publish to Profile" banner. Publishing lists the event on your public profile at rsvplinks.com/u/your-name and, the first time you publish it, sends a notification email to all of your followers. Once published, the button flips to "Make it Private" so you can pull the event off your profile at any time. If your profile is currently private, you can still choose to notify your followers — that option lives in Account Settings → Public Profile.

The Community feed lives in your dashboard at /dashboard/community. When you follow a host, any event they publish to their profile — plus any polls they post — shows up in your feed automatically, sorted by date. You can tap any event to view it, scan the QR, or RSVP. No signal to noise: you only see content from people you've chosen to follow.

From the Community feed, tap the heart icon on any event to save it. Saved events show up under the "Saved" tab so you can come back to them later — great for holding onto events you're interested in but haven't RSVPed to yet. Tap the heart again to remove it.

Any signed-in user can post a quick poll to the Community feed — ask a question (up to 280 characters) and add 2–6 options. Followers see your poll in their feed and can vote with a single tap. You can change your vote until the poll closes. Polls are perfect for things like "Which date works for game night?" or "What should we bring to the potluck?" without spinning up a full event.

No — polls are standalone. You can post a poll from the Community page without creating an event. Polls appear in the feed of anyone who follows you, alongside your published events.

Each picker has a search box. In Color theme, type an occasion or a color ("wedding", "gold", "pastel") and matching themes from every mood tab show together. In Page effect, type what you want to see ("snow", "confetti", "stars"). In Page layout, type a name, or tap a family chip (Photo-forward, Ticket & travel, Paper & post, Print & editorial, Retro & playful, Seasonal) to see only those. Picking a tab or All goes back to the full list. If a layout brings its own colors and you had already chosen yours, tap "Keep mine" on the notice to keep your colors, effect and intro with the new layout.

You can pick from 45 layouts in Event Settings → Page Layout: Classic (banner + side-by-side details), Editorial (magazine cover + masthead), Envelope, Postcard, Ticket, Boarding Pass, Polaroid, Itinerary, Menu, Poster, Index Card, Neon Arcade (chunky 80s neon with a perspective grid floor), Cassette (mixtape J-card with Side A / Side B tracklist), Passport (booklet spread with visa stamps + MRZ), Map & Compass (cartographic background with a dashed route to your venue), photo-forward designs (Filmstrip, Lookbook, Gallery Wall, Photo Calendar and more), a full set of holiday themes, and metaphor-driven designs — The Exhibit (a museum wall label beside the “artwork”), Departures (a split-flap airport departures board), The Crossword (a Sunday-paper puzzle page), The Matchbook (a vintage matchbook with a strike-a-match RSVP), Party Train (the page is a train: the engine pulls your cover photo and each guest of honour rides in a photo carriage; add or remove carriages and the engine and caboose stay), and Website (a full website cover in the look you pick, your sections with a menu, and the RSVP as the last section). Each layout pairs with the same color palettes, fonts, and page effects so you can mix and match the aesthetic without switching events.

Yes. Every photo spot in the editor (the cover in Editorial, Magazine, Lookbook and the holiday themes, plus each frame in Photo Mosaic, Filmstrip, Polaroid, Photo Booth, Gallery Wall and the other photo layouts) has an Adjust button once a photo is in it. It opens the photo in that spot's exact shape: drag to move it, and pinch, scroll or use the slider to zoom up to 3×. Save, and guests see exactly that framing. Your framing follows the photo, so if you switch to a layout with a different shape the same focal point is kept, and you can adjust it again there. Uploading a new photo into a spot starts it fresh, and Reset returns to the layout's default. Each photo spot uploads to that spot only, and removing a photo empties just that frame.

Yes — every event page has both, and neither needs an account. "Add to Calendar" opens Google Calendar, Apple Calendar (an .ics download that also works with iCal), Outlook, Microsoft 365, or Yahoo Calendar, pre-filled with your title, date, time, venue, description, host name, and a link back to the event page. It also appears on the confirmation screen right after a guest RSVPs, which is when most people actually save the date. The description is saved as plain text, and saving the event a second time updates the same calendar entry instead of adding another. Tapping the venue opens it in Google Maps or Apple Maps for turn-by-turn directions. Both work on every page layout and every theme.

Yes. Open Intro in the editor toolbar. "Text" is the title the reveal shows (it says "You're Invited" until you change it). Once an intro is selected, "Other wording" lists every other line that intro prints, such as the sign on Neon power-on ("★ OPEN ★"), "All aboard" and the note on the last car of the train intros, or "Presenting" on Banner drop. Type your own in any of them and the picker and Preview update at once; clear a field to go back to the original line. Each intro keeps its own wording, so switching to another intro and back loses nothing.

An intro reveal plays a short animation (about 3–8 seconds for most; the two train pass-bys run about 13 and 19) each time a guest opens your event link — letter rising out of an envelope, projector countdown, neon power-on, paper tear, vinyl drop, snow shake, curtain rise, balloon lift, candle blow-out, disco ball, paper plane, scratch-off, piñata smash, ring box, stork delivery, cap toss, and dozens more (89 in total) — before fading into your invitation. The picker groups reveals into ones that match your layout, ones made for birthdays, weddings, baby showers and graduations, ones drawn for the website looks (a forest path, a jungle parting, a golden tiara, a cassette deck, a constellation and more), ones that work anywhere, ones that use your photos, and seasonal ones. Every template starts with the reveal that suits its occasion, and you can change it. All of them are free on every event. The reveal plays each time the page loads, respects reduced-motion preferences with a quiet cross-fade, and leaves a small Replay button so guests can rewatch on demand. Tap anywhere during the animation, or press Skip, to go straight to the page. On a website, the finished scene holds behind a button ("Step inside", "Open the invitation", "Turn it up"…) until the guest taps it, like opening the door to your site; change the button's words above the website in the editor, or clear them and the intro ends by itself.

Yes, with the Recurring Events add-on ($6 or 1 credit on a paid event). From the event dashboard choose how often it repeats (every week, every two weeks, or every month by date or by weekday) and how many dates to add, up to 4 more dates in all. Each date is a copy of the event with its own page, link and guest list and keeps the event's name, so guests reply date by date and you see who is coming each time. Every date's page lists the others under "More dates". New dates start on the Free plan (20 RSVPs each) and do not count toward your 5 free events; upgrade any date that needs more.

Yes, with the Event Parts add-on ($6 or 1 credit on a paid event). From the event dashboard name each part and give it a start time, up to 8 parts. A part can be on the day after the event, so one event can cover two days in a row: welcome drinks on Friday and the ceremony on Saturday, or an after-party past midnight and a brunch the next morning. The page lists the parts under "The day" (or "The two days", with each part's weekday), guests who are coming tick the ones they will be at in the same RSVP, and the Questions tab shows a headcount for each part. If you would rather keep two separate guest lists, two events on the same day also work once the first one is on a paid plan.

Yes, with the Guest Photos add-on ($6 or 1 credit on a paid event). It works on any page layout: print the photo QR card from the Photos tab for your tables, and guests scan it and add photos from their phone (on a website they can also use a Guest photos section), up to 10 at a time, with no app or account. Photos are resized and their location data removed, and each one is screened automatically. New photos wait for you in the Photos tab of the event dashboard, where you show, hide or delete them and add a caption (up to 120 characters) that shows under the photo on the page. On a website with a Guest photos section, turn on "Show new photos without my approval" in the Photos tab or on the section if you'd rather they appear straight away (a photo the screening flags still waits for you). Download all saves full-size copies of the photos on the page as zip files of up to 200 each, and the printable photo QR card (your event's title and a QR code that opens your event link plus /photos) asks guests at the venue to add theirs. Photos are kept while the event exists and deleted with the photo, the event or your account. After the event the photos move to the top of the page, so it keeps them as a keepsake.

Yes, with the Thank-You Page add-on ($6 or 1 credit per event). It is one of three add-ons a free event can buy (with Party Games and Group Card), with no paid plan. Open the event dashboard and choose Thank-You Page: the card starts with suggested wording for your occasion, and you can write it and preview the whole page before you pay: Full preview plays the opening animation, then the card, with sample photos wherever yours aren't in yet and sample comments. It has an opening animation (12 made for a thank-you, or none), a headline, a message of up to 1,000 characters, a sign-off and up to 12 of your photos. Guests open it at your event link plus /thankyou (for example rsvplinks.com/maya-30/thankyou, or yourdomain.com/thankyou on a custom domain). They can add their own photos (up to 300 per card; they wait for your approval in the Photos tab unless you choose to show them right away, and location data is removed), react with ❤️ 😂 🥹 👏 🎉 🤗, and leave comments, which are screened automatically and show at once; you can hide or delete any of them. With alerts turned on you get a phone or browser alert for each new comment and for photos waiting. Bought before the event, it goes live by itself the morning after; you can also publish it any time or take it down. Choose who can open it: anyone with the link, the event page's password, or its own password. Then email it to guests who replied with an email address (Going by default, Maybe and Can't go if you tick them), now or at a date and time you schedule, up to 2 times at least 3 days apart. Each guest's button opens the card straight away and signs their comments with their name (on a locked card the email also shows the password), and every email has a one-click link to stop emails from that event. If the event also has Guest Photos, the card shows every approved guest photo from the event. Two days after an event that got replies, your "thanks for hosting" email links to the card too.

Party Games runs games for your guests from your guest list: Secret Santa and gift-exchange draws with private emailed matches and wishlists, White Elephant (Yankee Swap, Dirty Santa) numbers, random pickers, door prizes and raffles, contests (ugly sweater, costume, chili cook-off, Pink or Blue, superlatives) that guests vote on, predictions with a leaderboard (baby pool, couple quiz, awards ballot, Super Bowl props), teams, bingo and football squares. Pick a game, choose who plays, draw, and show the results on a live screen at the party. Games are for fun only: there is no wagering or gambling, and football squares and raffles handle no money. A host can run up to 12 games on one event. Free tools you can try without an account: the Secret Santa generator, White Elephant numbers and a random name picker, under /party-games.

Party Games is an add-on: $6 or 1 credit per event, and it unlocks every game on that event. Like the Thank-You Page, a free event can buy it with no paid plan. A game holds up to ten players for each RSVP your plan allows, at most 500, and a game's results can be emailed up to 4 times.

You choose per game: each person in a party ticks the games they want on the RSVP form ("Who's playing?"), everyone attending is in, you add the players yourself, or anyone with the link joins open games and gives a name. Players are people, not replies, so a party of three can have two players and one watcher. Guests need no app or account; Secret Santa matches, White Elephant numbers, teams and bingo cards arrive by email and open on the guest's own game page.

The game is fixed for you. If a guest declines, shrinks their party or joins late after a draw, the draw is repaired automatically and only the people whose assignment changed are emailed again. Nobody else's match moves.

Yes. Add yourself as a player and you draw a match like everyone else, but you do not see the matches: as host you see who has been emailed, not who has whom, so the draw stays a surprise for you too.

Yes, free on every event. Before anyone replies, open the Date poll tab on the event dashboard, add 2 to 20 dates (each with an optional start and end time) and press Open the poll. Your event link then shows the vote instead of the page: guests answer Yes, If need be or No for each date, with their name and, if they like, an email. There is no RSVP form while voting is open, and link previews, invitations and calendar files leave the date out. When you press Pick this date, it becomes the event's date and time, the page takes RSVPs, and everyone who left an email is told. No event yet? The free date poll at /date-poll needs no account: share the link, pick the winner, then create the event on that date in one click.

Use the free address collector at /address-collector: sign in, make a link (it has a QR code too) and share it. Guests type their own name and mailing address with no account, each address is checked with the postal service, and they land in your address book. Download them as a CSV, or mail postcards to everyone from RSVPlinks.

Use the free food & drink calculator at /party-food-calculator: enter adults, kids and hours, pick appetizers, a meal or dessert, and whether you serve alcohol, and it lists the food, wine, beer, liquor, soft drinks, ice and plates to buy, with about 10% extra. On an event, the Food & drinks card on your event dashboard opens it with your attending adults and kids filled in.

Yes, free on every plan. Pick the Remembrance website template (or the Website layout and the Remembrance look): a portrait under an arch with a candle, their life story, the service and the gathering after with times and a map, "In lieu of flowers", questions and a form that writes to the family. Guests reply "I'll Be There", "Hoping to Attend" or "With You in Spirit", and you can ask how many adults and children are coming. A guest password keeps it private. Add a group card on the Sympathy occasion as a memory book: on your page it reads "Share a memory", and everyone adds theirs from one link. Friends can organize dinners for the family with a free meal train at /meal-train.

Use the free invitation wording generator at /invitation-wording-generator: pick the occasion (birthday, kids' birthday, baby or bridal shower, wedding, engagement, graduation, retirement, housewarming, holiday or dinner party, celebration of life) and a tone (formal, casual or fun), add the names, date, time, place and reply-by date, and copy the wording you like. "More ideas with AI" writes fresh wording for your details a few times a day; the built-in wordings are unlimited. No account needed.

Yes, with the free wedding hashtag generator at /wedding-hashtag-generator. Type both first names, your last name and the year for mash-ups, last-name classics and dated hashtags, then tap one to copy it. "More ideas with AI" adds puns on your names a few times a day. Search your favorite on Instagram before you print it, in case another couple uses it.

Yes, free. There are four kinds of sign-up sheet: a meal train (friends take a day to bring dinner; the address and phone show only to people who sign up), volunteer shifts (a day, a start and end time and how many people), a bring-list (each item and how many you need) and rides (each car and its seats). People pick a spot with their name and email, get a confirmation and a reminder the day before, and can change or cancel from the link in that email. On an event, add up to 3 sheets from the Sign-up sheets tab on the event dashboard (30 slots each on a free event, 100 on a paid one); they show on your event page and guests don't need to RSVP first. No event? The free tools at /sign-up-sheet and /meal-train need no account and take up to 60 slots; a sheet is deleted 30 days after its last date.

The Sign-Up List sits on the RSVP form: each guest picks one item (a dish, a shift) while replying, and it comes with paid plans. Sign-up sheets are free and separate from the reply: they take dates and times, anyone with the link can take as many spots as they like, and each person gets a reminder. Use the Sign-Up List for a simple potluck among guests; use a sheet for a meal train, volunteer shifts, carpools, or helpers who aren't coming as guests.

Yes, free for up to 15 posts, with no account. Open /group-card (or /retirement-card or /group-birthday-card), pick the occasion, type who it is for and share the link. Everyone who opens it adds a name and a message of up to 1,000 characters (and, on an unlocked card, a photo), signed with their name. Pick from 21 templates, a page effect and an opening animation, and edit the card right on its page with a live preview. You keep an organizer link to hide or delete posts, close the card and send it: copy the recipient's private link, or email it from the card (right away, or scheduled on an unlocked card); Preview opens it as they will see it. A card is emailed at most 2 times, 3 days apart. Photos have their location data removed, and a post our filter flags waits for you to approve it. Neither the recipient's email nor yours is shown to signers.

Free up to 15 posts. To fit a bigger group, unlock the card for $6 or 1 credit: up to 300 posts, a photo with every message and a scheduled email to the recipient. Paying needs you to sign in, which moves the card into your account, under Group cards in the dashboard. A free standalone card is deleted 12 months after its last post or edit, photos included; an unlocked card stays until you delete it.

Yes, free on every event, one card per event. Open the Group card tab on the event dashboard and make it; your event page then shows a "Sign the card" block, in your colors, and guests can sign without RSVPing first. To fit more than 15 posts and schedule the email, buy the Group Card add-on ($6 or 1 credit), which a free event can buy too. The card goes when the event is deleted.

Yes, two ways. Bring a domain you already own with the Custom Domain add-on ($6 or 1 credit, on a paid event): press Use Custom Domain in the Share card on the event dashboard, pick Your own domain, add it there, type your domain and press Connect. The dialog then lists each record to add at the company you bought it from, with its Type, Name and Value to copy and where that company keeps its DNS settings (usually an A record on @, a CNAME on www and a TXT record named _rsvplinks that ties the domain to your event; for a subdomain such as wedding.yourname.com, a CNAME and the TXT). On Cloudflare set them to DNS only. It can take a few minutes, sometimes up to 48 hours, and we keep checking; the secure (https) certificate is set up for you. Or pick Buy a domain, on any event including a free one: search a name and pay by card, from $20 a year (the price and the renewal price are shown before you pay). We register it in your name, point it at your page and email you when it's live; no add-on needed. A bought domain doesn't renew on its own: we email you a month before it expires with a link to renew, and you can get its transfer code to move it to another registrar. Either way your rsvplinks.com link keeps working, and if a domain lapses or its records are removed, guests are still served there.

Pay-per-event lets you purchase a specific tier for a single event ($7–$39 depending on RSVP count). Credit packs let you buy credits in bulk at a discount (up to 19% off). Each credit upgrades an event by one tier level, or pays for one add-on, or mails 3 postcards. Credits never expire and can be used across multiple events.

Each credit upgrades one event by one tier level. For example, upgrading from Free to Starter costs 1 credit, Free to Basic costs 2 credits, and so on up to Premium (5 credits from Free). A credit also pays for one add-on on a paid event (or bought together with the upgrade): Table Management, RSVP Fee, Recurring Events, Event Parts, Guest Photos, Custom Domain, Thank-You Page and Party Games (which a free event can buy too), or a pack of 500 marketing emails. Credits pay for postcards too: 1 credit = 3 postcards (4×6 or 6×9) or 2 6×11 postcards, postage included. Credits come in packs of 5, 10, 25, with a bigger discount on each larger pack (7% off to 19% off).

As an estimate, spending a whole pack one way: 5 credits ($33) cover 1 Premium event or 5 Starter events, or about 15 postcards, printed and mailed; 10 credits ($63) cover 2 Premium events or 10 Starter events, or about 30 postcards, printed and mailed; 25 credits ($142) cover 5 Premium events or 25 Starter events, or about 75 postcards, printed and mailed. You can split a pack any way you like between plan upgrades, add-ons and postcards. Postcard counts are for 4×6 or 6×9 cards mailed in the US; 6×11 and international cards use 1 credit per 2 cards.

All paid tiers include: higher RSVP limits (75–1,000), custom URL links, Sign-Up List, custom RSVP questions, guest list management, email notifications and reminders, event managers, capacity limits, daily RSVP summaries, invite email tracking, a personal greeting for each emailed invitee on a website ("Welcome, Maya") and removing the "Powered by RSVPlinks" line. Every design (layouts, website looks, palettes, fonts, effects and all 89 intro reveals) is free on every event. Paid events also get 5–20% off postcards on their first 2 card orders and can print cards at home for free. Table Management, RSVP Fee (P2P), Recurring Events, Event Parts, Guest Photos, Custom Domain and Thank-You Page are available as per-event add-ons ($6 or 1 credit each); Thank-You Page is the one a free event can buy too. Marketing Email is a paid-tier add-on sold in $6 packs of 500 emails (or 1 credit per pack), up to 5,000 emails per event. Every add-on is listed under Add-ons on the pricing page, where you can add any of them to a plan purchase for one of your events (or buy them on their own for an event already on that plan); the upgrade card on each event dashboard sells them too.

Your event will automatically accommodate RSVPs up to the tier you purchased. If you need more capacity, you can upgrade your event using credits or by purchasing a higher tier directly.

No hidden fees whatsoever! The price you see is what you pay. Free tier is 100% free forever. Paid tiers have transparent, upfront pricing with no setup fees, transaction fees, or surprise charges.

On the pricing page, choose "Have a promo code?" under the plans, enter the code and press Apply. It is remembered for your next checkout, whether you start it from the pricing page or from an event dashboard, and the discount shows on the payment page before you pay. A promo link from one of our emails applies the code for you. During a site-wide sale there is no code to enter: the pricing cards show the sale price next to the regular one, the discount is taken off at checkout automatically, and if you also have a code, the larger discount is used. A code can apply to event plans, credit packs or add-ons, depending on the offer. Promotions do not apply to postcards.

Yes! We take security seriously. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use Supabase for secure authentication with email/password and Google OAuth. We never sell or rent your information or your guests' information, and no event page shows ads. It goes only to the services that run RSVPlinks, such as payments and email delivery, as the Privacy Policy lists. You can review our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for complete details.

Yes. Under the cover the Details section already shows the date, time and place, so you can take any of them off the cover: in the editor, press Date, Time or Place on the cover (crossed out means hidden) and press again to bring it back. The Details section always keeps all three.

Yes, on every plan, free included. Pick the Website layout (Layout, then the Event website tab) or one of the website templates in Create, then press Add a section and pick one: Our story, Schedule, Where to stay, What to wear, Wedding party, Questions, Registry, Photos, Guest photos (with the Guest Photos add-on), Message the hosts or a block of text. A page holds one of each, and as many text sections as you like. Sections belong to the Website layout: the other layouts are single-page invitations, and if you switch away from Website your sections are kept for when you switch back. Photos hold up to 6 pictures on a free event and 40 on a paid one, and story moments and the wedding party can carry a photo each. Message the hosts is a form that emails you and your co-hosts; guests never see your email or phone number, and replying answers the guest. A free event takes 10 messages in all (each email says how many are left), and a paid event takes any number. Type straight onto the page, add or remove items where they sit, and move, hide or remove a section from its own controls; up to 20 sections per event. A website opens on a full cover in one of 35 looks, then your sections with a menu that jumps to each one, and the RSVP as the last section. Every look is free on every plan (Rosewater, Little Honey, Modern Minimal, Woodland, Bordeaux, Terracotta, Verdant, Two Ink, Hydrangea, Snowbound, Quince Rosa, Sticker Y2K, Cloud Nine, Mixtape, Celestial, Riviera, Varsity, Party Animals, Gatsby, Midnight Garden, Disco Fever, Storybook, Harvest Table, Evergreen, Diya, Countdown, Eight Nights, Red Lantern, Sweater Weather, Pink or Blue, Class Of, Big Top, Sprinkles, Duckling, Remembrance), and each one comes with its own intro and section animation, and an RSVP form drawn in its style. Each look also starts with its own header, which you can change from the Header control above the page: Bar, Stacked, Split, Floating, Minimal, with your wording on the left, center or right, and section links, a menu button or a row of links guests swipe on a phone. Type your own header wording ("Our Wedding") on the header itself; until you do, it shows your monogram. A website template starts with filled-in sample sections from its design; guests don't see a sample section until you change something in it (or you can remove it). You can also pick how sections appear as guests scroll: Rise, Stack, Parallax, Unfold, Iris, Shutters, Scatter, Swing, Ink wash, Curtain, Flip, Pop, Slide, Zoom, Soft focus, Fade, None. On a phone, the website's top bar shows the section being read and a menu button that opens a numbered list of every section, so guests can jump anywhere. Switching looks keeps your words and sections. A countdown to the day is optional: press Add a countdown on the cover in the editor (Remove countdown takes it off). The calendar button on a website reads "Save the date"; reword it under Customize wording. Using Event Parts? Use my event parts in the Schedule section fills a row for each part with its start time. On a paid event, guests who open the link from their invitation email are greeted by first name ("Welcome, Maya"). A website with no cover photo uses its first Photos or story photo as the link-preview image. After the event day, a website thanks guests in place of the RSVP, closes replies and shows your photos first, so the link keeps working as a keepsake. If you password protect the description (or the whole page), the sections and photos are protected with it.

Yes. Of the 35 free website looks, 7 are drawn for holidays: Harvest Table, Evergreen, Diya, Countdown, Eight Nights, Red Lantern, Sweater Weather. Each has its own cover, intro animation and starter sections (what to bring, the gift swap, the dress code), and the holiday ones lead the template gallery in the weeks before their holiday. Browse them at /website-templates/holiday.

Yes, on every plan, free included. On the RSVP card in the editor, or in RSVP Settings, turn on Password protection, type a guest password and choose what it hides: the whole page, so guests see only the title and cover photo until they enter it, or just some parts: the RSVP form, the description, the location, or the guest and sign-up lists. Put the password on your invitation. Guests enter it once per device, and it is not case-sensitive; changing it asks everyone to enter the new one. A protected page stays out of search engines, link previews show only what the locked page shows, and a fully private page is not listed on your public profile. On a website you can also lock single sections: press the lock on a section in the editor and guests see its heading until they enter the same password, which opens every locked part at once. Locking the description hides all the sections and photos, including guest photos and the Message the hosts form, and locking the whole page hides everything.

Yes, on every plan. From your event dashboard, press Export CSV to download the guest list at any time: every reply with its status, contact information, guest counts, message, custom question answers and sign-up list selections. The file opens cleanly in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets, accented and non-Latin names included. Co-hosts you invited as Editors can export too; view-only managers cannot, because the file includes mailing addresses.

You can import the people you plan to invite. Invite Tracking (paid tiers) takes a CSV from your contacts or a pasted list, one entry per line, then shows who has replied. Replies themselves arrive through your RSVP form; for an answer you got by phone or in person, use Add Guest on the dashboard, which adds one party at a time with its status and how many are coming.

Your event data remains accessible. Free tier users can still access their events indefinitely. Upgraded events keep their tier permanently. Unused credits remain in your account and never expire.

Go to Settings and click "Request account deletion". We email you straight away to confirm the request was received, and our support team actions it — typically within 48 hours. Deletion removes your account, every event you created (along with its RSVPs, invites, sign-up lists and seating), and your sign-in credentials. Once it is done and verified, you get a final plain-text email confirming the request has been completed. The request is recorded on your account, so the Settings page keeps showing its status if you come back before it is processed. If you change your mind, reply to the confirmation email before we action it and we will cancel it.

Absolutely! Both the event management dashboard and public RSVP pages are fully optimized for mobile devices. Most of your guests will likely RSVP from their phones, and we've ensured the experience is smooth and beautiful on any screen size.

Yes! You can edit all event details at any time - title, description, date, location, cover image, theme, fonts, and all settings. Changes take effect immediately on your public RSVP page. Your shareable link stays the same.

Open your event dashboard and click the "RSVP Settings" tab (it is also in the left sidebar under your event name). You get the same controls as the editor's settings pane: what the RSVP form collects (email, phone, guest count, adults + kids, Maybe, emoji responses, short notes), whether the public guest list shows, plus the paid-tier capacity limits (max guests, max RSVPs, max group size per RSVP, Close RSVP Date) and email notifications (reminders, confirmations, instant host alerts, daily summaries, remove branding). Flip what you need and press Save Changes - it goes live on your public page immediately. Custom questions, the sign-up list, and the RSVP fee each keep their own tab on the same dashboard, and theme, layout, fonts, intro reveals, and page effects still live in the event editor.

Yes, on every plan. In the editor's RSVP card, the settings pane, or the RSVP Settings tab, pick a "Button wording" set: classic (Attending / Maybe / Can't Go), formal (Joyfully Accepts / Hoping to Attend / Regretfully Declines), professional (Confirmed / Tentative / Unavailable), funny (Heck Yes / Ask Me Later / Ghosting You), holiday sets, and more. "Use theme" at the top of the list is the wording written for your layout or template, for example All Aboard! / Checking the Timetable / Missing This Train on the Party Train; templates start with theirs. With emoji on, each event theme gives all three buttons a matching emoji, like a red card for Can't Go at a soccer party. Turn emoji off for clean circle icons instead. To write your own, open "Customize wording" on the editor's RSVP card and type into the Yes, Maybe and No fields (up to 40 characters each); a field you leave blank keeps the set you picked. Your dashboard, exports and emails always use the plain Attending / Maybe / Can't Go so your counts stay easy to read.

Yes, on every plan. Click "Custom location link" under the location field in the editor and add your own link: a pin you dropped in Google or Apple Maps, Waze, or your venue's directions or parking page. It shows first wherever guests see the map links, with your own text if you add it (for example "Parking & entrance"). Tick "Show only my link" to hide the Google Maps and Apple Maps links and the map preview. If you paste a map link straight into the location field, we move it there for you and keep the place name as the location, so guests never see a long web address; for a short link with no name in it, type the venue name before the link and guests see that, otherwise they see "View on map". If you create an event with no location, we ask first: add one now, or skip if it is online or you are leaving it blank on purpose.

Yes, on every plan. "Customize wording" on the editor's RSVP card groups every line guests read under five tabs (Buttons, Form, Thanks, Phone, Page): the submit button, the name, email, phone, guest count and message labels and placeholders, the thank-you title and the message for each reply, the "Change my RSVP" link, the phone RSVP bar, and the "Hosted by" and "Add to Calendar" text on the page. Each field shows its limit (40 characters for buttons and labels, up to 200 for the thank-you messages). Leave a field blank to keep your design's own wording, for example "Claim Ticket" on the Ticket layout, or press Reset to go back to it. The decorative lines a layout prints (ribbons, stamps, "Your RSVP") are edited by clicking them on the page itself.

Guests can update their RSVP response anytime. Right after replying, the confirmation screen has a "Change my RSVP" button, which reopens the form with what they sent already filled in. Later, or from another phone or computer, they reply again with the same email and choose "Email me a link": we email a link to the address on their reply, and it opens the form with their reply filled in (it works for 3 days). Knowing someone's email isn't enough to change their reply. A reply sent without an email can be changed only from the browser that sent it, or by you from your guest list. They can change from "Attending" to "Maybe" (if you've enabled it) or "Can't Go", until the form closes. You'll see the updated response in real-time on your dashboard.

You get a unique, easy-to-share URL for your event (like rsvplinks.com/your-event). On the event dashboard, the Share card sends it for you: Text, WhatsApp and Email open a ready-written message with the link, and on a phone the Share button opens your share sheet so you can pick any app. You can also copy the link to paste anywhere, or download the QR code for printed materials. Paid tiers can customize the URL slug.

Yes, on any paid tier. Every new event starts with a random 8-character link like rsvplinks.com/a7Kd2p9Q. Once the event is upgraded you can rename it to anything you like — rsvplinks.com/mayas-graduation — from the Share card on your event dashboard or the Event Link row in the editor. Right after you upgrade we pop up a one-time prompt offering to rename it for you. Renaming never breaks a link you already shared: the old link keeps opening your event, so guests, emails, calendar entries and printed QR codes that have it still work, RSVPs sent from it land on the same event, and new shares use the new one. You can change an event's link up to 3 times a day. An old link stays yours, so no other event can take it. Links are 3-60 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and a handful of names reserved by the site (like /pricing or /blog) are not available.

Not for a link you share yourself: we count confirmed RSVPs, not page views, which helps protect guest privacy. The exception is email we send for you. With Invite Tracking or Marketing Email on a paid event, each person you emailed shows as Viewed once they click through from that email to your event page.

From your event settings, enable the Sign-Up List and add categories (up to 15) with optional quantity limits. The sign-up summary appears on your event dashboard showing who signed up for what. You can also display the public sign-up list on the event page so guests can see what others are bringing.

We'd love to hear from you! Use our Contact page to submit feature requests, report bugs, or ask for help — it's the same form for all three. Just pick a clear subject line (e.g. "Feature request: ..." or "Bug: ...") and tell us what you have in mind. We read every message and use your ideas to shape the roadmap.

Open Postcards in your dashboard (or an event's Postcards tab) and pick a card type — Save the Date, Invitation, Change the Date, See You Soon, Thank You, Holiday, Birth Announcement, Graduation Announcement, Moving Announcement, Just Because. Choose one of 148 templates and we fill in your event's photo, colors and fonts. Edit right on the card: click any photo or text, drop photos onto their spot, and change layout, colors, fonts, QR code and front or back from the toolbar. Four steps (Design, Recipients, Preview, Checkout) save as you go. Add recipients from your guest list, address book, spreadsheet or phone contacts, preview each guest's card as it prints, then pick a mail date and pay. We print each postcard with that guest's name and mail it First Class on your date. You can also print them at home to hand out.

No. Open Postcards in the site menu and pick a template: the full card editor opens with nothing to sign up for. Add photos, change the layout, colors and fonts, edit the words on the front and back, and see the card exactly as it prints. Your design is saved in your browser as you go. To add recipients, preview each card and check out, sign in or create a free account (Google works too) and the design, photos included, moves into it. Change the Date and See You Soon cards belong to an event, so those start from your dashboard.

Open the link in your receipt email: it opens your order and tracks every card, and later emails tell you when the cards print, reach the mail and are delivered. The order also stays open in the browser you made it in. To keep it with your other postcards, use Create account to save on the order page, or sign in from that browser, and it moves into your account. If you create an account with the email you gave at checkout, the orders you paid for as a guest appear in it. New postcards need an account to add recipients and check out.

Postage is included. 4×6 postcards are $1.99 each for 1–24 cards, $1.79 for 25–74, and $1.59 for 75+. 6×9 cards are $2.79/$2.49/$2.29 and 6×11 cards are $3.29/$2.99/$2.79. Cards attached to a paid event get up to 20% off (Starter 5%, Basic 10%, Standard 12%, Pro 15%, Premium 20%), but a discount never takes a card below $1.55 for 4×6, $1.65 for 6×9, or $1.90 for 6×11. Free events and standalone cards pay list price. The plan discount covers 2 card orders per event (say the invitations and the thank-you cards); later orders for that event pay the regular price, with the volume price still applied. You can pay by card or with credits: 1 credit covers 3 4×6 cards, 3 6×9 cards, or 2 6×11 cards.

Yes — 4×6 cards can go to most countries for an extra $1.50 per card (1 credit covers 2 international cards). International cards need a US return address and take an extra 5–7 business days. Larger sizes are US-only, and a few embargoed destinations can't receive mail.

Cards usually arrive 6–8 business days after your mail date, printing included — plan on a week and a half. They go USPS First Class, the fastest class for postcards. The builder shows the arrival window for your mail date and warns you if a card would land after your event.

The order page tracks every card on its own: printing, in the mail, in transit, out for delivery, delivered, or returned. Emails are per order, not per card, so a 50-card order doesn't send 50 emails: one when your cards go to print, one when the first card reaches USPS, and one when the last card is delivered. Cards travel separately and can land a day or two apart, so check the order page for card-by-card progress. If a card comes back, you get an email naming that guest and address right away.

Yes. Pick Save the Date in Postcards, choose a template, and we print each postcard with your guest's name and mail it for you. Save-the-dates usually go out 6 to 8 months before a wedding and 2 to 4 months before most other events; allow 6–8 business days in the mail on top of that. Add a QR code and the postcard opens your RSVP page, so guests can reply the day it arrives. If the date changes later, a Change the Date card reuses the design with the old date struck through.

Yes. Postcards work on their own: start from Postcards in your dashboard (or from Postcards in the site menu, with no account), pick Invitation, Thank You, Holiday, an announcement or Just Because, and add recipients from your address book, a spreadsheet or your phone's contacts. Linking a card to an event adds your event photo, colors and guest list, and paid events get a discount on every card.

Yes. The builder shows a live preview of the front and back with the trim line and address area marked. Before you pay, "Preview your final card" opens it full size, cut to the trim, with each recipient's name and address and the real QR code, so you can scan it with your phone. From there you can also get a PDF proof rendered by our print partner — free, and nothing is mailed. Before you can pay, we also check the card itself: text that would be cut off, empty photo spots, missing or undeliverable addresses, and anything our print partner can't produce are listed on the checkout step with a link to fix each one, and payment stays off until they're fixed. You can keep editing the design, recipients, and mail date until the mail date arrives; changes to a paid order go through the same check.

Yes. Under QR code on the back, choose "Another link" and paste any web address — a registry, a photo album, a store page. We generate the QR code as you type, show you where it scans to, and let you download it. Cards without an event can carry a QR code this way too.

Every recipient has an edit button for the name and address, with an option to fix the address-book entry too. To leave someone out of this mailing, uncheck them — they stay on the list, marked Excluded, and you can check them again any time before the cards mail. Each row also shows where the address came from: your guest list, typed in by you, imported, the RSVP form, or a guest filling in your address link.

Only you and co-hosts with edit access. Turn on "Collect mailing address" in RSVP Settings to add an optional (or required) address field to your RSVP form; guests are told only the host sees it. Addresses never appear on the public guest list. You can also share an address request link, import a spreadsheet, or type addresses into your address book.

Yes — print-at-home is free with any paid event plan. In the card's Recipients step, choose Print at home to get exact-size cards with bleed or two 4×6 cards per letter sheet with crop marks, fronts and backs for double-sided printing, and optionally one card per guest (names only). Print from Chrome at 100% scale with margins off, on heavy card stock, or take the PDF to a copy shop.

There are seven, and you can mix them. (1) Ask on your RSVP form: switch on "Collect mailing address" in RSVP Settings on any plan (or press Ask on RSVP form in the address book) so guests reply and share their address in one step; only you and co-hosts with edit access see it. (2) Copy from event: pull every address guests shared on an event's RSVPs into your address book in one click. (3) Request link: share a link by text or email, or as a QR code, and each person fills in their own address. (4) Email RSVP'd guests: from Ask guests for addresses on a postcard order, email everyone who hasn't shared an address yet (at most once every 14 days per guest). (5) Import a spreadsheet: upload a CSV with names and addresses. (6) Import phone contacts: upload a vCard (.vcf) exported from your phone. (7) Type them in: add a contact by hand in the address book or straight on a postcard order. Addresses that come in through a postcard order's link join that order automatically while it has room, and guests can add a household name like "The Rivera Family" to print instead of their own.

Save the Date, Invitation, Change the Date, See You Soon, Thank You, Holiday, Birth Announcement, Graduation Announcement, Moving Announcement, Just Because. See You Soon cards default to guests who said yes and suggest a mail date that lands before the event. If your event date changes after save-the-dates go out, the event's Postcards tab offers a Change the Date card that reuses the same design and recipients with the old date struck through.

Yes. Cancel before your order is sent to print for a full refund. Mail dates are counted in UTC, so for a US host that cutoff falls on the evening before the mail date; cancel the day before to be safe. For 4 hours after cards are sent to print you can still cancel the ones that haven't started printing. Cards you paid for but didn't use, and cards that can't be printed or mailed (an address or destination that can't receive mail, a failed content or print check, or a card the print provider rejects), are refunded automatically — to your card or as credits, matching how you paid. A card that has already mailed and comes back to you isn't refunded. Credit payments return whole credits only, rounded down, so a small partial refund can come back as zero credits.

Yes, until the order is sent to print. When you change the size, what you already paid is counted toward the new size's price: going bigger, you pay only for the cards your payment no longer covers; going smaller, the cards you no longer need are refunded. Any cents that don't add up to a whole card go back to your card, and the builder shows these numbers before you confirm. International cards are 4×6 only and cost $1.50 more. If a US guest's address becomes international after you pay, that card is charged at the international price and the US card you paid for is refunded when the order mails. If an international card ends up mailing inside the US, the surcharge is refunded.
