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.

1. Check Your Invitation's Public Status

To share your invitation, it must first be in "Published" status.

Go to Dashboard > Collections
Find your invitation card
Verify the status shows "Published"

⚠️ Warning: If the status is "Draft", others won't be able to view the link even if you share it. Click the "Publish" button first!

2. Set OG Image (Optional)

To make your invitation look great when shared in messaging apps or on social media, it's recommended to set an OG image.

See the OG Settings Guide for details
Sharing is still possible without it, but the thumbnail image may not appear

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?

If you want to change the link:

⚠️ Warning: If you change the link, the previously shared link will no longer work! You'll need to send the new link to everyone again.

There is currently no link changing feature. Please publish carefully from the start!

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 there sufficient lighting?
✓ Is the camera pointed straight at the QR code?

Solutions:

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 again

💡 Note: Already shared links may not update the thumbnail. Share it again to show the new thumbnail!

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.
