Templates and page layouts
A layout is the structure of the page: a ticket, an envelope, a poster. A template is a complete look built on a layout, with colors, fonts, an effect and an intro already chosen.

Common questions
- Are all templates free?
- Yes. All 65 templates and 43 layouts are free. The one paid part of a template is its intro reveal: on a free event you can preview the intro, and it is saved once the event is on a paid plan.
- Will I lose my text if I change template?
- No. Your title, date, time, location, description, RSVP settings and guest replies stay. Only the look changes, and you can undo the switch.
- Can I change the layout after guests have replied?
- Yes. Replies are not tied to the layout. Guests who open the link again see the new design.
- Why does the page change color when I pick a layout?
- Each layout comes with a matching color theme, effect and intro, applied when you pick it. Open Theme, Effect or Intro to choose something else.
