Frequently asked questions

Questions
How do I keep it a surprise?

Use the adult style and turn on "It's a surprise party". The card says so to every guest, shows your note and tells them when to arrive. Replies go only to you.

Could the birthday person find the invitation?

Only people with the link can open it, and invitations aren't listed by search engines. Send it to the guests only.

Can I set an arrive-by time?

Yes. The surprise card shows "Please arrive by" with your time, and you can add a line such as "She walks in at 8:00 PM".

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. Guests open the link in any browser and reply on the invitation. You see every reply in one list, and can download it.

Is it free?

Making, publishing and sharing your invitation is free, and guests never pay or sign up. Each invitation includes a set number of free guest views; if you need more, a one-time payment unlocks unlimited views for that invitation.

Can I make more than one?

Yes. One Google account holds as many invitations and wedding cards as you need, each with its own link and its own replies. You'll find them all under My cards.
