Sharing your invitation link

How to copy the link to your event page and send it via WhatsApp, text message and more.

Written by Max Weber

Not every guest has an email address, and sometimes the family group chat is simply quicker. That is exactly what the „Per Link teilen" (share by link) tab on the Einladungen (invitations) page is for. It shows the address of your page, for example anna-und-max.unsere-einladung.de, ready to copy and send.

What you need

  • An address that is set. You choose it under Einstellungen → Subdomain (Settings → Subdomain). If it is missing, the tab says „Noch keine Subdomain konfiguriert" (no subdomain configured yet) and everything is locked.

  • A published page. Otherwise nothing opens for your guests.

  • Premium, because you need it for publishing and sharing.

Copying the link

Click „Kopieren" (copy) next to the address. The button briefly changes to „Kopiert" (copied), and the link is on your clipboard. From there you can paste it wherever you like: into a message, an email, or a document for your printed cards.

Sending it straight on

Below it you will find ready-made buttons for WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and Facebook. One click opens the service with a prepared text made of your title, description and link. Before you send it, you can of course make the text more personal.

On your phone you will also see the „Mehr" (more) button. With it you use your device's share menu, for example AirDrop, Signal or your email app.

Good to know: This link is the general link without a personal code. Anyone who replies through it is added to your list as a new guest. If someone is already on your guest list, it's better to send them their personal link via Gäste → Link kopieren (guests → copy link). Then their reply lands right next to the correct name.

The link for guests without a plus-one

Below it, the same address appears a second time, headed „Link für Gäste ohne Begleitung" (link for guests without a plus-one). You copy it with one click as well. Anyone who comes to your page through this link sees no field for a plus-one in the RSVP form and simply signs up for themselves. The heading of the RSVP form also switches to the singular there: instead of „Seid ihr dabei?" (are you all coming?) it says „Bist du dabei?" (are you coming?). If you would rather use your own words, enter them in the editor in the RSVP settings under „Titel für Allein-Eingeladene" (title for guests invited alone) and „Beschreibung für Allein-Eingeladene" (description for guests invited alone). The RSVP deadline works the same way: through this link, „Bitte meldet euch bis zum" (please reply by, plural) automatically becomes „Bitte melde dich bis zum" (please reply by, singular), and you write your own words in the editor under Deadline in the „Deadline-Text für Allein-Eingeladene" (deadline text for guests invited alone) field. If you have already written your deadline text yourself, it stays exactly as it is. And don't worry, nobody can tell anything from the link itself, so your guests won't notice which of the two they received.

This is meant for everyone who is invited on their own: friends from the sports club, colleagues, the neighbour next door. So you no longer have to write in your message that the invitation is for one person only.

Good to know: This second link is a friendly nudge, not a lock. Anyone who gets the normal address from somewhere else will see the field again. If it really needs to be binding, invite through the personal invitation emails: there, exactly what you set for the guest with „Plus One erlauben" (allow plus-one) applies, and the RSVP form sticks to it.

When the buttons are greyed out

Then one of the requirements is missing. If the „Per Link teilen" tab shows the golden note „Deine Seite ist noch nicht veröffentlicht" (your page is not published yet), publish it in the editor first. If the bar at the top says „Premium erforderlich" (Premium required), „Jetzt freischalten" (unlock now) takes you straight to the Einstellungen → Premium freischalten (Settings → unlock Premium) tab. After that, copying and sharing work straight away.

Frequently asked questions

What does the message look like for my guests?
The title, description and preview image come from the sharing preview. How to adjust them is explained in the article „Die Vorschau beim Teilen anpassen" (adjusting the sharing preview).

Can I write the link on printed cards?
Absolutely. The address is short enough to type, which is why it pays to choose something simple for your subdomain. Even more convenient for your guests is the QR code in the tab of the same name, which you will find in the article „QR-Code für deine Karten" (QR code for your cards).

Can my guests see who else is invited?
No. Everyone only sees your event page, not your guest list.
