Now it's getting serious, and really lovely: your invitation goes out. You decide whether you carefully send a single email first or invite all your guests in one go. You will find both on the Einladungen (invitations) page in the „Per E-Mail" (by email) tab.
A quick check beforehand
Have you added all your guests, and are the email addresses spelled correctly?
Do you like the email template?
Is Premium unlocked and your invitation published? Until then, no invitation can be sent.
Sending a single invitation
Find the guest in the list, using the search field if you like.
Click „Senden" (send) in their row.
The „Einladung versenden?" (send invitation?) dialog appears with the name, the address and a small preview of the real email.
If you would still like to change something in the text, click „Vorlage anpassen" (adjust template). If everything is right, click „Jetzt senden" (send now).
Shortly afterwards a message confirms that it has been sent, and the guest moves to the „Versendet" (sent) tab. The „Senden" button only exists for guests with an email address and only as long as they haven't replied yet.
Inviting all open guests at once
As soon as at least one guest is waiting, a note with a clock icon appears above the list, for example „24 Gäste warten auf eine Einladung" (24 guests are waiting for an invitation), together with the „Alle einladen" (invite all) button.
Click „Alle einladen" (invite all).
The dialog shows you the number, a preview of the email and the warning that this cannot be undone.
Confirm the sending and keep the browser tab open until the completion message appears.
Only guests who have an email address, haven't received an invitation yet, aren't marked as „Manuell eingeladen" (invited manually) and haven't replied yet are contacted. So anyone who has already accepted or declined through your shared link is left out and won't get an invitation to something they already know about.
Good to know: The emails go out one after another. With a long guest list this takes a few minutes. Don't switch tabs and don't close the window in the meantime, otherwise the sending stops. There is no progress bar, only a loading indicator.
If not everything worked
If the app reports „X Einladungen versendet, Y fehlgeschlagen" (X invitations sent, Y failed) at the end, have a look at the „Ausstehend" (pending) tab. Anyone still listed there has not received an email. The most common reason is a misspelled address. Correct it in the guest management and send the invitation again individually via „Senden" (send).
A test invitation to yourself
There is no separate function for a test email to yourself, but there is a simple trick: add a guest with your own email address in the guest management, send them the invitation and look at it calmly in your inbox. Afterwards you simply delete the test guest again.
Frequently asked questions
I click „Senden" (send) and nothing happens.
Then the button is locked, which you can tell by the small lock. To send invitations you need Premium and a published invitation. You get Premium in the Einstellungen → Premium freischalten (Settings → unlock Premium) tab, and you publish under Webseite (website).
A guest says they didn't receive anything.
Ask them to search their spam folder for „Unsere Einladung". Also check how the address is spelled and then send the invitation again.
Can my guests reply to the invitation?
No. The email comes from a no-reply address, so replies to it won't reach you. Replies go through the form on your page.
Can I schedule the sending for later?
No, emails are always sent immediately. Selecting individual groups isn't possible either: you send either to one guest or to all open guests.
Can I undo a sending?
No. An email that has been sent can't be called back. That is why a look at the preview beforehand is worth it.
