Things you put together for guests to read
These make your invitation worth opening. Someone deciding whether to come wants to know what actually happens.Things you ask your guests
These appear when guests RSVP or register, so it’s best to switch them on before you invite. A guest who doesn’t know their answer yet still learns you want it, and comes back when they do.For guests on the day, and after
For running the event
Setting tools up
1
Pick what this event needs
A wedding usually needs Travel & Stay and Guest Preferences. A conference needs Event Schedule and Event Lineup. A dinner might need only Potluck Manager. You don’t need all twelve.
2
Set each one up on the Event Page
Click the tool in the Tools list and fill it in.
3
Publish it
Most tools have their own publish or share step. Guests see a tool only once you publish it.
When to set them up
Before you invite, if you can. Everything you’ve set up arrives with the invitation, in one message, while people are already reading. You can still add tools at any time. Guests are told automatically, but not immediately: tools you switch on after the invitation are collected into one update, sent the next day.- Set up several tools on the same day and guests get a single update. Spread them across a week and guests get a message a day.
- A tool that asks guests for something, switched on within two days of the event, leaves them little time to answer.
