Frequently AskedQuestions

A connected assistant can create and edit invitation drafts, help with designs, manage guests, publish invitations, and read RSVPs. It can also check your account’s credits and create a credit purchase link. Lemonvite does not book venues, pay vendors, or manage seating plans through the connection. Available features depend on the assistant and its account requirements.

See wedding, party, and RSVP examples

Creating a draft does not publish, spend a publish credit, or contact guests. Publishing uses one publish credit and delivers pending invitations. Adding guests to an already published event sends their invitations immediately. Our workflow instructions tell assistants to obtain your explicit confirmation before publishing or sending; review tool approval requests and your guest list carefully. Generating a new design, or editing the current one, also uses a design generation and replaces the current artwork.

The connection can read event details, invitation artwork and links, guest names and contact details, RSVP responses, and account information such as your name, email, and credit balance, subject to your account’s permissions. Tool results go to the connected provider. This is an account connection, not permission limited to one event. Sign in on Lemonvite and review the consent screen; never paste your password into a conversation.

Read about connected-assistant privacy

Disconnecting stops that connection from making new authorized requests. It does not delete your events, undo invitations already sent, or erase information already received by the assistant provider. You can reconnect later by signing in and approving a new connection.

1. Open your Lemonvite account settings.
2. Find Connected assistants and choose Disconnect beside the provider.
3. Remove the connector in your assistant too. Use that provider’s privacy controls to manage stored conversations.

Lemonvite offers three MCP prompt templates: Create an invitation, Check RSVPs, and Prepare to send. If your assistant supports MCP prompts, select one from its prompt menu. Selecting a template does not itself run a tool or send invitations. If your assistant does not show prompts, use the copyable examples in our event-planning guide.

Copy an example prompt

Yes. Connect Lemonvite to a supported assistant, including self-hosted agents like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, to create invitation drafts, manage guests, and check RSVPs. Setup and account requirements differ by assistant. Creating a draft does not send invitations; review your event before publishing.

Choose your assistant and follow the setup guide

Lemonvite lets you design a custom event invitation, send it by email, text message, or a shareable link, and track every RSVP in real time. One fair, one-time fee per event — no subscriptions, no ads.

No. Guests can open their invitation and RSVP without signing up or creating an account. You only need an account to host: create, design, and publish your own event.

You can start without an account — your progress is saved in your browser until you sign in.

1. Click "New Invite" (or "Create Event" once signed in).
2. Choose an event type and fill in the details: title, date and time, and location or a meeting link for virtual events.
3. Design your invitation, then publish to send it.

Yes. Creating an event and designing your invitation is completely free — you only pay the one-time fee when you publish to send it. New accounts also get 5 free design generations to try things out.

From a blank page to a published invitation with live RSVPs, here is the whole flow.

1. Create an event and enter the details (title, date and time, location or meeting link).
2. Design your invitation — describe what you want, choose a style, upload your own image, or add text overlays.
3. Add guests by email, phone, or import them from your contacts.
4. Publish the event (this uses one credit) to send the invitations.
5. Watch responses come in on your event dashboard and send updates as plans change.

There are three ways to sign in and no passwords to remember. Pick whichever is easiest for you — they all land in the same account once linked.

1. Sign in with Google in one tap.
2. Sign in with your phone number: we text you a 6-digit code (it expires after 10 minutes), and you confirm the consent box.
3. Sign in with email: we send you a sign-in link to click — no password needed.

If you signed up with just your phone number, you can add an email address from Settings. We send a verification link to that address (it expires after 1 hour); click it to confirm and link the email to your account.

Add or change your phone number in Settings; we verify it with a 6-digit text code. You can only remove a phone number if your account also has a verified email, so you never lose your way to sign in.

Open Settings and edit your name (up to 100 characters). Your profile is name-only, so that is the one detail to keep current.

Your profile photo comes automatically from your Google account if you signed in with Google. There is no photo upload — to change it, update your picture with Google.

Open the account menu and choose "Sign out." Sessions last 30 days, so you stay signed in across visits until you sign out or the session expires.

You can permanently delete your account from Settings. This removes your events, invitations you sent, saved contacts, payment history, and account info. Your past presence as a guest at other people's events is unlinked from you, not deleted from their events.

1. Go to Settings and choose "Delete Account."
2. Type DELETE to confirm.
3. Your data is permanently removed — this cannot be undone.

It is $5 as a one-time fee per event (a launch special, down from the original $12.99). You pay once when you publish an event — designing is always free.

No. Lemonvite is one-time payment only — no subscriptions, no recurring fees, and no hidden charges. You pay per event you publish, and only when you choose to.

Running Lemonvite is not free for us. Every event has real costs behind it — sending texts and emails, the database that holds your events and guests, image storage and generation, hosting and bandwidth, and payment processing. Our margins are deliberately thin: the philosophy is that we do not try to squeeze money out of our users. At just $5 per event, we charge one small fee that we feel is fair for the work it does, especially next to what the competition charges — and we include every feature they offer. If there is something you wish Lemonvite did, just ask at support@lemonvite.com; chances are we will build it.

Paying publishes your event and sends the invitations. Every feature is included — design tools, RSVP tracking, read receipts, email and text delivery, and guest management — plus 5 more design generations added when you publish a paid event.

One payment gives you one credit, and one credit publishes one event. Credits never expire, so you can buy ahead and publish whenever you are ready.

Each credit includes 5 image generations, and every newly created account starts with 5 free generations to experiment. Publishing a paid event adds another 5. Your remaining generations are shown right in the design editor.

You can buy between 1 and 100 credits at a time through our secure checkout.

1. Open the credits or checkout screen.
2. Choose how many credits you want (1–100).
3. Pay securely through Stripe — your credits are added to your balance right away.

Checkout is handled by Stripe and accepts cards, Cash App Pay, and Apple Pay or Google Pay. You can also apply a promo code at checkout.

Your credit balance and full payment history live on the Settings page. Your remaining design generations are shown separately, inside the design editor.

If you sign up after opening a published event's invitation, you can earn 1 free credit (which also comes with 5 design generations). The referral claim expires 1 hour after you arrive, so finish signing up while it is fresh.

You can create a Birthday, Wedding, Party, or Other event. The type tailors the experience — for example, birthdays unlock a spot for the birthday person's name and gift ideas.

A title and date/time are required. Optionally you can add an end time (it defaults to two hours after the start), an RSVP deadline, a physical location with address autocomplete or a "Virtual" event with a meeting link, a "From" name, a description, a group-chat link, a "what to bring" note, birthday details, a guest capacity, and toggles for showing the guest list and allowing plus-ones. On top of those built-in fields you can add your own: extra details that show on the invitation (a registry link, dress code, parking, schedule) and questions guests answer when they RSVP (meal choice, allergies, song request). See "Can I add extra details to the invitation?" and "Can I ask guests a question when they RSVP?".

Yes. Set a "Total Event Capacity" when creating or editing the event, and a Yes RSVP that would push the head count past your limit is automatically turned away. (Capacity limits are not enforced for verified hosts.)

Yes. The "Allow Plus Ones" setting is on by default; turn it off and each guest counts as one person only. When it is on, you can set default adult and kid limits in Guest Settings (applied to new invitations) and still override the caps on any individual guest.

That is up to you. The "Show Guest List" setting is on by default, which is the same toggle that lets guests see who is coming on their invitation. Turn it off to keep the guest list visible to hosts only.

When you create a Birthday event, you can add the birthday person's name and a list of things they like, so guests get helpful gift ideas right on the invitation. For a registry link or a gift note on any other event type, add an extra detail.

Yes. Add a group-chat link in the event details and guests will see it on the invitation, making it easy for everyone to coordinate before the event. Any other link — a registry, playlist, directions, or hotel block — goes in an extra detail and becomes clickable too.

Yes, in a few ways. The "what to bring" note in the event details is a one-liner every guest sees on the invitation — a dish, a drink, a gift. For a longer list or a potluck sign-up link, add it as an extra detail. To find out who is bringing what, ask it as a question when guests RSVP: each answer shows next to the guest in your guest list and in the CSV export.

Yes. You can edit details and the design while an event is a draft or while it is published and still upcoming. A published event locks once its date has passed (using the end time if you set one). Past drafts are never locked.

When you create an event on the single-page form, you can opt in to a yearly reminder that nudges you to plan the same event again next year — handy for recurring birthdays and annual get-togethers. This option appears only in the single-page form, not the step-by-step wizard.

There is no dedicated "cancel" button. To call off an event, send your guests an update letting them know it is cancelled, then delete the event if you want to remove it entirely.

Only the primary host can delete an event, and deleting is permanent and removes everything tied to it. If you are a co-host rather than the primary host, you will see "Leave Event" instead, which removes you from the event without deleting it.

Describe the invitation you want and the design engine creates a portrait (3:4) image for you. Each generation uses one generation credit.

1. Open the design editor for your event.
2. Type a description of the look you want.
3. Generate — your custom design appears and is saved automatically.

Not quite right? Hit "Regenerate" to create a fresh take. It replaces the current design while saving the previous one to your design history, and each regeneration uses one generation credit.

Yes. Open the Edit tab in the design editor and describe the change you want in your own words. Only what you describe changes; the composition, style, colors and any lettering stay as they are. It works on designs you generated and on images you uploaded, keeps your text and image layers in place, and uses one generation credit. The version you had is kept in your design history. Animated GIFs cannot be edited this way.

1. Open the design editor for your event and click Edit.
2. Under "Describe your edit", type the change, for example "turn the sky into a sunset" or "change the balloons to gold".
3. Click Apply edit. The previous version stays in your design history in case you want it back.

Regenerate makes a fresh design from your description, so it can look completely different from the one you have. Edit keeps the design you have and changes only what you ask for. Both use one generation credit and keep the previous version in your design history.

Yes. Pick from Photorealistic, Watercolor, Minimalist, Vintage, or Anime to steer the overall look of your generated design.

Yes. Use "Match a photo" to upload a reference image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 4MB) and the design engine takes cues from its look and feel when creating your invitation.

"Inspire me" suggests ready-to-use prompt ideas when you are not sure where to start. The editor also keeps your last 3 prompts and lets you save prompts you like for reuse.

Absolutely. Upload your own image to use as the invitation instead of generating one — it is downscaled to 2048px and saved as a JPEG. No design generation is required.

Yes, you can choose an animated GIF from Giphy for your invitation. Text overlays are not supported on GIFs because the text would not stay aligned across the animation's frames — use a still image if you need text on top.

Add one or more text layers on top of your design and drag each one into place. For every layer you can choose from 6 fonts, set the size between 12 and 120px, pick a color (a custom picker plus 12 quick swatches), make it bold, and set the alignment.

Yes. Open the Edit tab in the design editor and choose Add Image to place a logo, sticker, or any PNG, JPEG, or WebP on top of your invitation, then drag it into place and resize it from its corner handle or the size slider. Once your event is published, the same tab also offers Add QR Code, which drops in your event's public RSVP QR code — the same one you can download from the event page — so guests can scan a printed invitation to RSVP.

You can rotate a layer from −180° to 180°, add a drop shadow (blur 0–30px), and add a glow (blur 2–40px with an intensity from 1 to 5) to make your text and design elements pop.

Yes. Your design history keeps the last 10 designs, and you can restore any of them with one click if you preferred an earlier version.

Use the delete option in the design editor to remove the current design. You can then generate a new one, upload your own image, or restore an earlier design from your history.

Yes. The design editor auto-saves as you work, so your generations, uploads, text overlays, and effects are kept without a manual save step.

Yes. Use "Send me a preview" to email or text yourself a copy of the invitation so you can see exactly how it will look to your guests before you publish.

When writing your event description, you can use built-in writing tools to help with the words: Auto-write, Fix Spelling & Grammar, Make Funnier, Make More Formal, Shorten, and a Custom option for your own instruction. They work best on text under about 100 words.

No, not at all. All AI functionality is completely optional and is there to assist you if you want it. You can just as easily upload your own design and add text with our designer, no AI required.

Yes. Connect your Canva account once and bring any design straight in as your invitation image — no downloading and re-uploading files. It's included in the one-time event fee with no extra cost, no upsells, and no limit on how many designs you import. Designs come in as a still image up to the standard 4.5MB file size, which is plenty for an invitation.

1. In the design editor, open the "Canva" tab.
2. Click "Connect Canva" and approve access in the window that opens. You only do this once.
3. Browse or search your Canva designs, then click the one you want.
4. It comes in as your invitation image — add text layers or publish just like any other design.

You choose. When a Canva design has more than one page, we show you every page as a thumbnail so you can pick the exact one to use as your invitation. Single-page designs come straight in without asking.

Not directly yet — importing from Canva brings your design in as a still image, and direct animated GIF import is coming soon. For now, if you want an animated invitation, export it as a GIF from Canva and add it to Lemonvite with the Upload option in the design editor. One thing to note: animated invitations can't have text layers added on top of them.

1. In Canva, open your design and choose Share, then Download, and set the file type to GIF.
2. Save the GIF to your device.
3. In the Lemonvite design editor, click "Upload" and choose the GIF you just saved.

You can disconnect at any time from the Canva tab — click "Disconnect" and we revoke our access and delete the stored connection. While connected, Lemonvite only lists your designs and exports the single design you pick to import. It never edits your Canva account and never touches a design you do not choose.

Yes. In addition to Disconnect inside Lemonvite, you can revoke Lemonvite at any time from your Canva account: open your Canva account settings, find Connected apps (or Apps and integrations), and remove Lemonvite. The next time you try to import, Lemonvite will prompt you to reconnect.

A few designs cannot be exported automatically. If the design uses premium Canva elements you have not bought, purchase them in Canva (or swap them out) and try again. If your Canva team requires the design to be approved before export, get it approved first. If it still will not import, email support@lemonvite.com and we will help.

Add a guest with any one of a name, an email, or a phone number — you do not need all three. If you add a phone number, check the SMS-consent box first. Duplicates are rejected, and each new guest is automatically saved to your address book for next time.

Use bulk add to paste a whole list instead of entering people one at a time.

1. Open the bulk-add option on your event.
2. Enter one guest per line as: name, email, phone.
3. Submit — everyone is added to the guest list at once.

Yes. Your address book holds the people you have invited before. Select the contacts you want and choose "Invite to event" to add them to your guest list in a few clicks.

On the Contacts page, click "Import from Google" and sign in with your Google account. You then pick which contacts to add — the ones not already in your address book are pre-selected — and they go straight into your Lemonvite address book, ready to invite to any event. The authorization is one-time and read-only: we never change anything in your Google account.

1. Open the Contacts page and click "Import from Google".
2. Sign in with Google and approve read-only access to your contacts.
3. Review the list, choose who to add (new contacts are pre-selected), and confirm.
4. They land in your address book — select them and choose "Invite to event" whenever you are ready.

We request a one-time, read-only authorization to your Google Contacts and read only each contact's name, email address, and phone number — nothing else, and never your Gmail, Calendar, or Drive. Each contact is saved with their name, one email, and one phone number (a mobile number is preferred when there are several). Contacts already in your address book are skipped, so re-importing is safe, and we do not keep your Google access token once the import finishes.

A vCard is the standard format for sharing contacts — its file name ends in .vcf. Your phone, iCloud, Google, or email app can export some or all of your contacts into a single .vcf file, and Lemonvite reads that file to add everyone to your address book at once. Each contact in the file can carry a name, email, and phone number, which is exactly what we import.

Export your contacts from your phone or iCloud as a vCard (.vcf) file, then upload it on the Contacts page to add everyone to your address book at once. From there you can select people and invite them to any event.

1. Export your contacts to a .vcf file (see the iPhone, Android, and iCloud steps below).
2. On Lemonvite, open the Contacts page and click "Upload a vCard (.vcf)".
3. Follow the on-screen instructions for your phone, then click Upload and choose the .vcf file.
4. Your contacts are added to your address book — select them and choose "Invite to event" whenever you are ready.

iOS can save a list of contacts to a .vcf file that you then upload to Lemonvite. Different versions of iOS can do this differently, so if these steps don't match your phone, search for instructions for your device.

1. Open the Contacts app.
2. Go to Lists.
3. Long-press one of the lists.
4. Choose Export, then Done.
5. Choose "Save to Files" and remember where you saved it.
6. Back on Lemonvite, click "Upload a vCard (.vcf)", then Upload, and select the file.

Search how to export contacts on your iPhone

Android shares your contacts as a .vcf file through a storage app, which you then upload to Lemonvite. Different versions of Android can do this differently, so if these steps don't match your phone, search for instructions for your device.

1. Open the Contacts app — the dedicated Contacts app, not the Phone app (which also lists contacts).
2. Long-press a contact to start selecting; to grab everyone, tap the ⋮ menu (top-right) and choose Select all.
3. Tap the Share icon and choose Drive, Dropbox, or another app that saves the file somewhere you can find it.
4. Back on Lemonvite, click "Upload a vCard (.vcf)", then Upload, and select the file.

Search how to export contacts on your Android

If your contacts are in iCloud, you can export them to a .vcf file from iCloud.com in your web browser, then upload that file to Lemonvite. iCloud's layout changes from time to time, so if these steps don't match what you see, search for current instructions.

1. Go to iCloud.com/contacts and sign in.
2. Choose a list, or select multiple contacts with ⌘-click (Mac) or Ctrl-click (Windows).
3. Press the export icon (a box with an upward arrow) in the top-right corner.
4. Save the file — it lands in your usual Downloads folder.
5. Back on Lemonvite, click "Upload a vCard (.vcf)", then Upload, and select the file.

Search how to export contacts from iCloud

Each contact is imported with their name, one email address, and one phone number — if a contact has several numbers, the mobile/cell one is preferred. Contacts already in your address book are skipped, so importing the same file twice is safe. Contact photos and other extra details are not imported, and your address book holds up to 2000 contacts.

Unverified accounts can invite up to 150 guests per event as a spam-prevention measure — email support to raise it. Verified accounts have no guest cap. (Your address book separately holds up to 2000 saved contacts.)

Invitations go out by email, by text message or WhatsApp, or as shareable links, depending on the contact info you added for each guest. Add an email, a phone number, or both, and Lemonvite handles delivery, including choosing SMS or WhatsApp based on the number's country.

Nothing is sent while your event is a draft — you can add and arrange guests freely. When you publish, invitations go out to everyone on the list, and anyone you add to an already-published event is invited immediately.

You can resend an invitation to an individual guest from the guest list. Resending is email-only — for an SMS-only guest, share their link directly instead.

Every event automatically has a public RSVP link. Once the event is published, you will see Share, Copy, and QR-code options for it — great for flyers, social posts, or a sign at the door. When someone RSVPs through the public link, they get their own private link so they can update later.

Each guest row in your list has its own Share and Copy buttons. Use them to send one person their personal invitation link directly — handy when an SMS-only guest needs the link another way.

"Undeliverable" means a message to that number did not go through, usually a mistyped number or one that is not on WhatsApp. We can only tell once we have tried to send, so it shows up after you publish, not before. "Opted out" means that person replied STOP to texts, so we will not message them. In both cases, share their link another way.

Each guest opens their invitation link, views your invitation, and taps their response — no account needed. If they RSVP through the shared public link, it becomes their own private link so they can update their answer later.

Guests choose one of three responses: Yes!, Maybe, or No.

When plus-ones are enabled, a guest saying Yes can enter how many adults and kids they are bringing. If plus-ones are off, the invitation is for one guest only.

Yes. In Guest Settings you can set default adult and kid limits for new invitations (0 to 20, or "No limit"). You can also edit any guest and override their limits. This works alongside the event-level plus-ones setting — if plus-ones are off entirely, no one brings extras regardless of their limit.

If you set a capacity, a Yes RSVP that would push the head count past your limit is turned away so you never overbook. (This check is skipped for verified hosts.)

Yes. When responding, guests can add an optional note — a thank-you, a message for the host, or a heads-up that they will be a little late. If there is something specific you need to know from everyone, ask it as a question instead (see "Can I ask guests a question when they RSVP?").

Yes. On your event page, in the Event Details card, add a question under "Questions for Guests". It can be a short answer ("Any dietary restrictions or allergies?", "Song request?", "T-shirt size?", "Need a carpool?") or a pick-one choice ("Meal: chicken, fish, vegetarian"), and you can mark it required. Think of it as a custom field or a mini survey on the RSVP form. Guests who say Yes or Maybe see it on the RSVP form; guests who decline are not asked. Answers appear next to each guest in your guest list, in the RSVP email you receive, and as extra columns in the CSV export. You can add up to 10 questions, and you can also add them while creating the event under "Add more details".

1. Open your event and find "Questions for Guests" in the Event Details card.
2. Choose "Add a question", type the question, pick short answer or a list of options, and switch on "Required to RSVP" if needed.
3. Use "See it as a guest" to check how the RSVP form looks.

Yes. On your event page, in the Event Details card, add an entry under "Extra Event Details" with a heading and the text guests should read — a registry link, dress code or what to wear, parking and directions, a schedule or itinerary, a hotel block, what to bring. Details show on the invitation below the event information, and any link you paste becomes clickable. You can add up to 10 and reorder them.

Yes. A guest can update their response from their own link until the RSVP deadline passes. The event has to be published for RSVPs and changes to be accepted.

Yes. Guests invited via their own unique link are marked "Viewed" once they open it. Views are not tracked for the shared public link, for archived guests, or for the event owner.

Yes. From your guest list you can set or change any guest's RSVP status, their adults and kids counts, and their plus-one limits — useful when someone replies to you directly.

Your event dashboard shows an RSVP summary — Attending, Maybe, Declined, and Pending — and filter chips let you narrow the guest list to just one of those groups.

Yes. You can download your guest list as a CSV file at any time — a snapshot of every guest and where their RSVP stands right now. It opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any spreadsheet app, so you can print a check-in sheet, plan seating, or share a head count with a caterer or venue. Each row has the guest's name, phone, and email, an X in the YES, NO, MAYBE, or NOT RESPONDED column, and for guests who said Yes or Maybe their party size as ADULTS, KIDS, and TOTAL.

The export is in the Guest List card on your event page. The file is generated in your browser the moment you click, so it always reflects the latest RSVPs.

1. Open the event from your dashboard and scroll to the Guest List card.
2. Click the "…" button in the card's top-right corner.
3. Choose "Export as CSV". The file downloads immediately, named after your event.
4. Open it in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any spreadsheet app.

Only if you allow it. The "Show Guest List" setting is on by default, which lets guests see who is coming. Turn it off to keep the list visible to hosts only.

On a draft event you can Delete a guest outright. On a published event you Archive them instead, which keeps the record and lets you restore them later if plans change.

Yes. If you are signed in when you open an invitation, you can choose "Save to my account" so the event appears in your account and is easy to find again.

A co-host is someone you invite to help run an event. Co-hosts can edit the details and design, manage guests, and send updates — almost everything you can do as the host, with a few exceptions reserved for the primary host.

You invite a co-host by sharing a single-use link — no email or text is sent on your behalf.

1. On your event, generate a co-host invite link.
2. Share that link with the person yourself (text, email, chat — your choice).
3. They open it and accept; the link is single-use and expires after 7 days.

You can have up to 10 co-hosts per event.

Co-hosts can do almost everything: edit event details, design the invitation, add and remove guests, send updates, and even invite or remove other co-hosts. Only the original organizer can publish the event, delete it, and change the RSVP notification setting.

Open the co-host invite link the host shared with you and follow the prompt to accept. The link works once and expires after 7 days, so accept it while it is still valid; sign in if you are not already.

Co-hosts and the primary host can remove other co-hosts from the event, but the primary host can never be removed. If you are a co-host and want out, choose "Leave Event" to remove yourself.

The wall is a shared feed attached to your event: you post updates there, guests post and reply, and it all stays in one place instead of scrolling away in a group chat. It appears on your event dashboard and on every guest's invitation once the event is published, newest post first. Posts can be up to 1,000 characters, and replies thread two levels deep underneath a post.

On their invitation, below the event details. Anyone who can open the invitation can read the wall, so guests can catch up on your updates without a login, an app, or a text thread. A draft event has no wall at all — it opens when you publish.

You and your co-hosts can always post and reply. Guests you invited directly can post as soon as the event is published, as long as you have left guest posting on. Someone who arrives through the shared public RSVP link has to RSVP before they can join in — that is what gives them a name on the wall — so until they do, they see "RSVP to join the conversation." Reading is never gated: everyone with the invitation can read every post.

Yes. Two independent switches control it: "Guests can post" and "Guests can reply." Both are on by default. Turn off posting but leave replies on and the wall becomes announcements-with-comments — guests can reply under your posts but cannot start their own. Turn both off and only you and your co-hosts can write.

1. Set them when you create the event, or change them later from the event form.
2. Or flip them right on the wall on your event page, where they take effect immediately.
3. Both are write-time gates: turning one off stops new guest posts, it does not remove anything already posted.

No. Guest posts and replies live on the wall only. Nobody gets a text or an email because a guest said hi, asked about parking, or replied to a thread, so a chatty wall never turns into a night of buzzing phones for the rest of your guest list. Open the event or the invitation and refresh the wall to see what is new.

Yes, and it is your choice each time you post. Write your post, switch on "Email / text," and the same message goes out over each guest's channel as well as landing on the wall; leave the switch off and the post stays on the wall. When it is on you can also narrow who gets it with the filter chips — Attending, Maybe, Declined, No RSVP, and whether they have opened their invitation yet — and you get a count of exactly how many emails, texts, and WhatsApp messages that adds up to before you send. The full post always appears on the wall either way.

Because we fit every update into a single text message. A text has room for about 160 characters including your name and the invitation link, so a longer post is trimmed to an excerpt ending in a "Read:" link that takes the guest to the full post on the wall. Carriers charge per message segment, and letting long updates spill into three or four texts each would multiply the messaging cost of every event — keeping updates to one message is a big part of how we hold the price of an event where it is. Email and WhatsApp are not shortened; they get the whole post. You see a preview of the text before you send.

Hosts and co-hosts can delete any post on the wall, and guests can delete posts they wrote themselves. Deleting a post also removes the replies underneath it, so the confirmation tells you how many replies will go with it before you commit.

Two weeks. The wall accepts new posts while the event is published and up to 14 days after it ends, which is the same window as event updates and leaves room for the thank-yous and the photo talk. After that it stops taking new posts.

RSVP notifications are a per-event setting, on by default, that emails you as responses come in. Only the primary host can change it, and it requires an email on the account. Because it is about your own event, these notifications are always sent and are not affected by your email preferences.

Write it on your event wall. Every post you make goes on the wall where guests can read it on their invitation, and switching on "Email / text" before you post also sends it out by email, SMS, and WhatsApp — perfect for a venue change, a reminder, or a thank-you. You can post and send while the event is published and up to 2 weeks after it ends.

If you opt in when creating an event, a yearly reminder nudges you to plan the same event again next year — handy for recurring birthdays and annual traditions. The opt-in appears only on the single-page event form, not the step-by-step wizard, and you can manage these reminders in your email preferences.

After a guest RSVPs, they can opt in to a reminder to plan their own event — choosing now, in 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. The reminder comes by text if a phone number is on file, otherwise by email.

You control which emails you get from Settings or the unsubscribe page across five categories.

1. Open email preferences in Settings (or use the unsubscribe link in any email).
2. Toggle the categories you want: Event invitations, Event updates, Yearly reminders, Draft follow-ups, and Planning reminders.
3. Or use "turn off all" to stop every optional email at once.

A couple of emails are always sent because they are essential: sign-in and verification emails, and the RSVP notifications for your own events. Everything else can be turned off in your email preferences.

Reply STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, QUIT, or END to any text to opt out of all Lemonvite texts. Once you have opted out, the only way to restart them is to reply START (or UNSTOP) to that number — this is required by the mobile carrier, so checking the SMS box on an RSVP form will not bring your texts back. Simply not checking that box, though, is not the same as opting out.

No one. Texts and WhatsApp messages from Lemonvite are one-way notifications, and the number that sends them is not monitored — your reply does not reach the host, the guest who invited you, or our support team. The only replies it acts on are STOP (to unsubscribe) and START (to opt back in). To respond to an invitation, tap the link in the message and RSVP there; you can leave the host a note when you RSVP, and post or reply on the event wall once you have.

Almost anywhere. Numbers in the US and Canada get a regular SMS; numbers in every other country get the same invitation over WhatsApp instead. Just add the guest's phone number with its country code and we route it for you. If a number cannot be reached, we mark it "Undeliverable" after we try to send.

Both, picked automatically from the phone number. US and Canada numbers default to SMS; every other country defaults to WhatsApp. You do not choose the channel, just add the number with its country code and we route it. We can only confirm a number is reachable by attempting the send, so if one fails we flag it "Undeliverable" on the guest after you publish, not before.

No. Lemonvite earns money from event publishing fees, not from your data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Yes. Each guest gets a private, unique link, and invitation pages are blocked from search engines. The public RSVP link we create for sharing is not discoverable unless you choose to share it.

No. Your prompts and reference images are used only to generate your invitation. They are not used for any training purposes.

Delete your account from Settings to remove your data. This permanently removes your events, invitations, contacts, payment history, and account info; you confirm by typing DELETE. Your past presence as a guest at other people's events is unlinked from you, not deleted from their events.
