You were sent a wedding invitation link — what now

A couple sent you their wedding invitation as a link, most likely on WhatsApp. It opens in your phone’s browser and asks for nothing but four digits. From the first tap to your answer, and what the couple see afterwards.

In this guide

Open your invitation

  1. Step 1:

    Tap the link the couple sent you. It opens in your phone’s browser.

  2. Step 2:

    Type the last four digits of your mobile number in Your four digits.

  3. Step 3:

    Press Open my invitation.

Read it

Once the digits match, the invitation opens: the couple’s design, and the celebrations you are invited to, each on its own date, time and place.

Answer for everybody on your invitation

  1. Step 1:

    Press Answer.

  2. Step 2:

    For each celebration, choose Coming or Not coming for every person.

  3. Step 3:

    If the couple ask, choose under What would you like to eat?.

  4. Step 4:

    If the couple kept extra places for you, the page asks how many you will use.

  5. Step 5:

    If the couple should know something — a diet, what you need to get around, a name they missed — write it under Anything they should know?.

  6. Step 6:

    Press Send my answer.

The page tells you your answer is saved.

Change your answer

  1. Step 1:

    Open the same link.

  2. Step 2:

    Press Answer.

  3. Step 3:

    Change what is different, and press Send my answer again.

The page says the day you answered, and that you can change it until the list closes. When the couple close the list for a celebration, the page says so and asks you to write to them — they can still add you.

What the couple see

The couple see, for each celebration, who on your invitation is coming and who is not, the meal each person chose, and your note.

Questions

Do I need an account or an app?
No. The link opens in the browser of your phone, and the four digits are the only thing it asks for. Nothing is installed and no password is made.
The digits do not work. What now?
They are the last four of the mobile number the couple have for you, or, if they have none, of someone else in your household. Ask the couple to check the number in their list. After five wrong tries, wait fifteen minutes.
The link says it is no longer valid.
The couple may have made a new link for you or taken the invitation down. Ask them to send it again.
The page says the invitation is not ready yet.
The couple have not sent it out yet. Keep the link; it opens the moment they do.
Can I answer for my whole family?
For everybody on your invitation, yes. For each celebration you say coming or not coming per person. Another household answers from its own link.
