Sharing Your Invitation

Once you've completed your invitation, it's time to send it to your guests! You can share it in several convenient ways.

Frequently asked

If I change the address, do the links I already sent stop working? → No. Links you shared earlier keep working. Only the QR code needs to be downloaded again — see Managing After Sharing below.
What happens when the retention period or view limit runs out? → see Before Sharing: Retention Period & View Limit below.

To send your invitation to guests, you first need to publish it. Everything publishing requires lives on one screen: Share Setup.

How to get there: from Dashboard > Collections, click the Share button on the invitation card.

The screen runs top to bottom like this.

Area	What it's for	Required
Share Card	The image, title, and description shown in messaging apps and social media	✅
Public URL	Your own address for the invitation link	✅
Search Optimization	Title, description, and event details for search results	Optional
Publish	Guests can only open the link after you press this	✅
QR code	Download it after publishing for anything you print	—

The publish button won't work

If a required item is empty, "Required to publish: …" appears above the button, naming what's missing.

image — the share card has no image
title — the preview title shown in messaging apps is empty
description — the preview description is empty
public URL — no address has been set for the link

The image, title, and description are not optional. If any one of them is empty, the invitation won't publish. They're what decides how your invitation looks the moment a guest first sees it in a chat. See the OG Settings Guide for how to write them well.

If something isn't saved yet, you'll see "You have unsaved changes." Press Save first, then publish.

Business events (exhibitions, seminars, and the like) generate the public URL from the title automatically, so there's nothing to enter there.

Once it's published

The status changes to "Published", and from then on the link you shared will open. If it still says "Draft", guests won't see anything — check that you've published first.

Method 1: Copy Link (Most Common)

This is the simplest and most frequently used method.

Steps:

Find your invitation card in Dashboard > Collections
Click the "Copy Link" button
Confirm the "Copied!" message
Paste wherever you want (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V)

Share it like this:

Paste into group chats on WhatsApp, Messenger, or any app you use
Send via text message
Include in emails
Add to Instagram profile link
Insert into blog posts

💡 Tip: Sending a short message along with the link makes it more personal!

Example: "Hello! Here's our invitation. Please let us know if you can attend 💕 [link]"

Method 2: Download QR Code

QR codes are useful for printing on paper invitations or posters.

Steps:

Go to Dashboard > My Invitations and click the "Setup Share" button on the invitation card
On the share setup screen, click the download button on the QR code card
Once the QR code image downloads, use it wherever you need

The QR code holds your invitation's permanent address, so it keeps working on printed materials.

QR Code Usage Examples:

Paper Invitations: Print and attach the QR code to paper invitations
Welcome Board: Display a large QR code at the venue entrance
Invitation Envelopes: Print small on the back of envelopes (weddings, etc.)
Posters: Add to event announcement posters

💡 Tip: When printing QR codes, make them at least 3cm x 3cm in size. If they're too small, they may not scan properly!

The share button opens your device's built-in share menu, so you can send the invitation through any app on your phone or computer.

Steps:

Go to Dashboard > Collections and click the "Setup Share" button on the invitation card
On the share setup screen, click the "Share to other apps" button
Your device's share menu opens. Pick the app you want, such as WhatsApp, Messenger, or email
Send!

Advantages:

Works with the apps you already use
Most messaging apps show a link preview with your OG image, title, and description
Guests can open the invitation with a single tap
You can send it to a group chat in one go

Link previews look best when you set an OG image. See the OG Settings Guide.

You can also share on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and more.

Instagram Sharing:

Copy the link
Edit your Instagram profile
Paste the link in the "Website" field
Post a story or feed post saying "Check the link in my profile!"

Facebook Sharing:

Copy the link
Create a Facebook post
Paste the link
The thumbnail image appears automatically (with OG settings)

💡 Tip: Social media sharing is great for reaching many people. However, for personal events, sending individual messages through a messaging app or by text is more courteous.

To confirm your shared link works properly:

Click the "View Public Page" button on the invitation card
Check how the actual invitation appears in a new window
Open it on your mobile phone to verify the mobile view

✅ Checklist: Verify these before sharing!

Is the invitation in "Published" status?
Is all information (date, time, location) accurate?
Do all photos display correctly?
Is the OG image set? (for social media sharing)
Does it display well on mobile?
Does the link open properly when clicked?

You can change the share address to one you like on the Share setup screen. An address someone else is already using is not available.

Even after you change the address, the links you shared earlier keep working. Links you already sent won't suddenly break, so there's no need to worry. The QR code, however, contains the address it was created with — if you change the address, download the QR again for anything you print.

If you want to stop sharing:

Find the invitation on the Collections page
Click the "Unpublish" button
The status changes to "Draft"
The invitation won't be visible even if people access the link

Frequently Asked Questions

The link won't open

Check these:

✓ Is the invitation in "Published" status?
✓ Did you copy the complete link?
✓ Is your internet connected?

Solutions:

Check the status on the Collections page
Test using "View Public Page" first
Copy and share the link again

The QR code won't scan

Check these:

✓ Is the QR code printed clearly?
✓ Is the size large enough? (minimum 3cm x 3cm)
✓ Is there sufficient lighting?
✓ Is the camera pointed straight at the QR code?

Solutions:

Print the QR code larger
Use a high-quality printer
Leave enough white space around the QR code

The thumbnail doesn't appear in messaging apps

This happens because the OG image hasn't been set.

Solution:

See the OG Settings Guide
Upload an OG image
Share the link (links shared before the change may keep their old preview)

💡 Note: Messaging apps keep the preview they saved the first time a link was shared, so sharing the same link again may still show the old thumbnail. See "I changed settings but the old thumbnail appears" in the OG Settings Guide.

Can I create multiple links?

Currently, only one link is provided per invitation. However:

You can share the same link in multiple places
The same invitation appears no matter who opens the link or where

Can I see who opened the link?

You can see view counts, but not who viewed it.

Check "Views" in Dashboard > Collections
See the Analytics Guide for detailed statistics

Invitations have a set retention period and view limit. Once the limit is reached, guests can no longer view the invitation, so check these against your event schedule in advance.

Retention Period

Plan	Retention Period	Grace Period After Expiry
Free	2 days	0 days
Premium (ad removal)	90 days	30 days

A D-7 alert appears on the card as expiry approaches, and the invitation is automatically deleted once the grace period ends.

Extension options (after completing premium payment):

Retention Extension: 3 months $7.49 · 6 months $9.99 · 1 year $12.99
Permanent Storage $18.99 (no expiry, wedding & first-birthday categories only)

View Limit

Plan	View Limit	When Limit Is Exceeded
Free	10 views	Guests see a "View limit reached" page
Premium (ad removal)	1000 views	Can be extended cumulatively with add-on purchases
Permanent Storage (wedding/first birthday)	Unlimited	No limit

View limit add-on options:

+500 views $3.49
+1,000 views $5.99
+2,000 views $9.99
+5,000 views (bulk) $12.99

You can purchase instantly via the Add Views button at the bottom of the dashboard card. Add-on purchases have no unlimited option (unlimited views come only with Permanent Storage).

⚠️ Pre-share checklist: Make sure the retention period comfortably covers your event date and the view limit fits your expected guest count. If the limit is insufficient, guests won't be able to view the invitation.

💡 Recommended strategy: For weddings and first-birthdays, Permanent Storage ($18.99) offers better value than a 1-year extension ($12.99). No yearly renewal hassle, and you can keep the precious moment forever.
