FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about this.
What’s the difference between an RSVP invitation and a regular invitation?
A regular invitation is a digital asset you can design and send out or download, but it doesn’t include a way for guests to respond. An invitation with an RSVP page, that includes an RSVP button, attaches an online page that collects responses and lets you manage guest information online.
How can I change the invitation's layout?
Change the layout of your invitation page to control how it looks on mobile and desktop.
Tip: The dotted line on the invitation marks the mobile cutout, showing the part of the page guests will see on their phones, while the full page displays on desktop.
- Click the frame of the RSVP page.
- Click Layout on the action bar.
- Select a layout option (e.g. Left, Center, Right) or drag the slider to move the mobile cutout.
When my invitation is ready, how can I share it?
You can share the invitation by generating a unique URL and sharing the link anywhere you like - by email, social, or messaging apps. Any changes you make to your invitation will automatically update on the live page, so guests always see the most up-to-date information.
Can I change the questions or add fields to the RSVP page?
Not at the moment. The RSVP page currently includes three standard fields: First name, Last name, and Email.
Can I use Aria for all parts of the invitation and RSVP page?
Yes, Aria can help you regenerate the invitation, change a template, add button animations, and change event details.
