What Guests See
Section titled “What Guests See”Event Header
Section titled “Event Header”The top of the screen displays the event title in bold — for example, “INVITATION TO THE EVENT”. This is derived from the invitation title you set during creation.
Media Cards by Day
Section titled “Media Cards by Day”Invitations are organised into day-based categories. Each card shows:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The activity or function name (e.g., “Sangeet Night”, “Wedding Ceremony”) |
| Media | A video or image that auto-plays or displays inline |
| Description | Date, time, and venue for that specific function |
| Day Label | Groups cards under “Day 1”, “Day 2”, etc. |
Media Types
Section titled “Media Types”- Video cards play inline with controls for pause, seek, and fullscreen
- Image cards display high-resolution photos with pinch-to-zoom
Interactive Features
Section titled “Interactive Features”Scroll Through Days
Section titled “Scroll Through Days”Guests scroll vertically to browse all activities. Cards for the same day appear together under a shared day label.
Video Playback
Section titled “Video Playback”Video invitations play smoothly within the card. Guests can:
- Tap to play or pause
- Scrub through the timeline
- Expand to fullscreen for a cinematic experience
Add to Calendar
Section titled “Add to Calendar”Guests can tap Add to Calendar to hand the event over to the calendar app on their phone.
Accessibility
Section titled “Accessibility”The screen includes full accessibility labels, making it usable with screen readers for visually impaired guests.
Tips for a Great Guest Experience
Section titled “Tips for a Great Guest Experience”- Keep videos short — 30 to 60 seconds per function is ideal. Guests watching on mobile data appreciate concise content.
- Use high-quality images — The viewer displays media prominently, so low-resolution images will look pixelated.
- Add clear descriptions — Include the exact date, time, and venue in each card’s description so guests do not have to scroll back and forth.
- Test before sharing — Open your own invitation link on a phone to verify the layout and media playback.
- Put the date in the card — Guests cannot reply from the viewer and the calendar shortcut saves the wrong date, so write the exact date, time, and venue into each card’s description and collect replies through your usual channel.

Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”The video is not playing on my guest’s phone. Some older devices have limited video codec support. Ensure your video is in MP4 format with H.264 encoding. If the issue persists, convert the video using a free tool like HandBrake before uploading.
The invitation link shows a blank page. The invitation may have expired. Check the Invitation End Date in your invitation settings and extend it if needed.
Images look blurry on the invitation. Upload images with a minimum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Avoid screenshots of invitation designs — use the original high-resolution file instead.
