Sending the invitation to your guests

PixVenu collects RSVP responses on a public form. We do not send invitation emails or text messages on your behalf — you share the link through your own channels, and any guest who taps it can land on the RSVP form. That's a deliberate choice: it keeps PixVenu out of your guest's spam folders, and it works whether you've collected guest contact info ahead of time or not.

How sharing actually looks

The host detail page has a Share card with three primary surfaces:

• A magic link URL you can paste into iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email, a wedding website, an Instagram story — anywhere a link works.
• A QR code (downloadable as PNG or SVG) for printed save-the-dates, table cards, or venue signage.
• An Email button that opens your default mail client with the subject + body pre-filled so you can send a one-tap invite to a single address without leaving the dashboard.

Guests who follow the link see the gallery hero — event date, location, welcome message — and an inline RSVP affordance when you've turned invitations on.

What we DO send

• A confirmation email goes back to the guest immediately after they submit their RSVP, echoing their response and including the magic link so they can edit later from a different device.
• The host (you) gets a notification email each time a new RSVP lands, with a deep link straight to the responses card on the dashboard.

Both of those flows live on the RSVP submission itself — nothing fires before the guest opts in to share their email.

Why we don't send mass-invites

Mass-invite tooling is its own product category, and most hosts already have a channel that works: WhatsApp group, family email list, wedding website, the printed save-the-dates already sent in the mail. Layering PixVenu's brand on top of those would just add friction without solving anything the host can't do faster themselves.

If you need to broadcast a follow-up — "we've added a guestbook!", "the gallery is now live, please upload your photos" — the host dashboard's Email a reminder card lets you paste up to 50 recipient addresses and send a one-shot reminder. That's a host-initiated batch, not a guest-list management tool — every address you paste, you typed.

Coordinating with paper invitations

It's common to send a paper save-the-date with a printed QR code, then run a digital RSVP through the same QR. Print sign and take-home card layouts are both built into PixVenu — open the share card, click Print sign, browser-print to PDF or paper. The QR resolves to the same magic link your guests can also tap from any digital channel, so the two paths converge.
