An invitation card is a regular card with event details attached. Recipients see the event next to the card. They can answer Going, Maybe or Can’t go and add the event to their calendar. You see every answer in the card’s RSVPs tab.

​
Set up an invitation

1

Open the Format & event tool

Open your card in the editor and click Format & event in the left toolbar. A Single page or Front & back format works well for invitations, but any format can be an invitation.
2

Turn on the invitation

Switch on This card is an invitation.
3

Add the event details

Fill in the event:
4

Save

Click Save invitation.
To stop collecting RSVPs, switch This card is an invitation off. The details are kept, so you can switch it back on and Save invitation again later.
Once a card has been sent, its event details can’t be edited. Check the time and place before you send.

​
What recipients see

Recipients open the card from their email as usual. The event panel appears beside the card on a computer, or below it on a phone. It shows:
  • the event title, and the date and time in the event’s timezone
  • the address, which links to Google Maps, or a Join online link
  • your note
  • Will you be there? with Going, Maybe and Can’t go
  • Additional guests, if you allowed guests, and an optional Note for the host
  • Add to calendar, with Google Calendar and Apple / Outlook (.ics)
Recipients answer with one tap. Their name and email come from your recipient list, so there’s nothing to type. They can come back to the same email link and use Change response at any time.

​
Who can RSVP

Only people you sent the card to can RSVP, and only from their own email link. Each link is personal and contains a security token, so nobody can answer for someone else. If someone opens the card without a personal link (a preview, a test email or a forwarded general link), they still see the event details, but the buttons are turned off. They see Open your personal invitation link to respond. People you share the card with through Copy card URL get their own personal link and can RSVP too.

See responses

1

Open the card's details

On your dashboard, click the card’s Card details button.
2

Open the RSVPs tab

The RSVPs tab appears only on invitation cards.
The tab shows:
  • Counts for Going, Maybe, Can’t go and No reply. Under Going, the total of extra guests, for example +3 guests.
  • A filter to show All recipients or only one kind of answer.
  • A table with each recipient’s Name, Email, Response, Guests, Note and when they last Updated their answer.
  • Export CSV, which downloads the list as a spreadsheet that opens correctly in Excel and Google Sheets.
Recipients who were canceled or who unsubscribed aren’t listed. People who got a Copy card URL link appear once they’ve answered.

FAQ

No. Event details are locked once a card is sent, so every recipient sees the same details. If you need to change the time or place, send a new invitation.
The event’s timezone, shown with its abbreviation (for example 1:00 PM EST). Calendar entries are added at the correct time wherever the recipient is.
Yes. They open the same email link and click Change response. The RSVPs tab always shows their latest answer.
Previews and test emails aren’t linked to a recipient, so the RSVP buttons are turned off there. Send the card to yourself as a recipient to try the full flow.
