Situation
The beautiful half and the tedious half
An event invitation is two jobs that look like one. The first is presentation, and it is the one everybody thinks about. The second is operations: who received it, who replied, who is bringing whom, who needs a room, who cannot eat what, and what the final number is for the venue.
Products that solve only the first job push the second back onto a spreadsheet and a phone.
Send a designed image and every reply arrives as a separate message on a separate channel, addressed to a person you then have to find on a list. The invitation knows nothing about the guest list, so a host reconciles the two by hand, repeatedly, right up to the week of the event.
What we built
Invitame.Today
A product where the invitation is a page in a system rather than a picture in a chat, so the response can come back to the record it belongs to.
- Multiple visual templates and a guided builder.
- Event schedule, locations and maps.
- Language support for the guest-facing experience.
- Guest households with personalised links per household.
- RSVP and response tracking, including room and dietary requirements.
- A host dashboard, with exports and calendar links.
- Publishing, and a mobile experience for guests who will open it on a phone.
How it works
Build, send, collect, run
- Build A guided builder turns a template into a real event page: schedule, locations and map, languages, and the details guests ask about.
- Send Each household gets its own link, so a response can be attributed to a name without anyone typing it in.
- Collect RSVPs come back against the household they belong to, carrying room needs and dietary requirements with them.
- Run The host dashboard shows responses as they land; exports and calendar links hand the result to whoever does the next job.
Evidence
The guest experience and host workflow stay connected
That is the Perla template, one of the product's designs, opened as a live demonstration. It shows three sections of a single invitation: the cover with the couple's names and date, the message to guests with the month's calendar beneath it, and the schedule of the day next to a map of the location, which is the guest-facing half of everything described above.
The polished guest experience sits on the same data model that handles households, partial responses, changes of mind and the final handoff to the venue.
- Invitame.Today is live, with multiple templates and a guided builder.
- The invitation, the personalised household link, the RSVP and the export are one continuous flow.
- Room and dietary requirements are collected as part of the response rather than chased afterwards.
