Helpers: group-chat RSVPs, “Write it for me” and answers for guests
Read RSVPs from a group-chat screenshot, get the invite details written three ways, and let guests' questions be answered from your party details.
Helpers for the parts of hosting nobody enjoys. They work only from what you’ve told letsparty, and you check what they find.
RSVPs from a group chat
People answered in a text thread instead of on the invite?
- Take a screenshot of the replies.
- On the party page, under RSVPs from a group chat, tap Choose a screenshot, pick it, and tap Read it.
- letsparty lists each answer it found: who, whether they’re coming, maybe or can’t make it, how many if they said, and their own words, matched to your guest list.
- Untick anything that looks wrong, and tap Mark the ticked ones.
It skips messages that aren’t answers and never guesses one someone didn’t give. Anyone it can’t match to the guest list can’t be marked: add them with Add a guest and read the screenshot again. (Members of the group see this card; party-only co-hosts don’t.)
“Write it for me”
At the planner’s last step, The words, look for Write it for me:
- Under Anything to mention?, jot a few notes, like “taco bar, wear something sparkly”. It’s optional.
- Tap Write three versions: Fun, Heartfelt and Simple.
- Tap Use this on the one you like. It goes into Details for guests, where you can change every word.
It writes from your party’s details and your notes only. It won’t make up food, gifts or a dress code, and it leaves out the date and address, which the invite already shows.
Answers from your details
With Guests can ask you a question on, a guest whose question your details already answer (“Is there parking?”) gets the answer right away, just for them. Anything the details don’t cover comes to you as before.
You still get the email either way. On the party page, an automatic answer is marked “Answered from your party details, just to them.” Change it, or tick Show on every invite to share it, then tap Update answer. The more you put in the details, the parking notes and the plan, the more it can answer.
A check on photos
Selfies and photo-wall pictures get a quick look before they show, so nothing unwelcome lands on the wall or the big screen. Ordinary party photos (kids, costumes, silly faces) are fine. If one is turned away, the guest is told it couldn’t be added and can try another.
The same look writes a short description of each photo, in English and Spanish, for guests who use a screen reader (“Two kids blowing out candles on a chocolate cake”). Photos you add yourself (on the invite, your wedding website or a card) get one too, just after they upload. It describes what’s in the picture and never guesses who anyone is.
Thank-you lines
After the party, Send thank-you cards makes a card for everyone who said yes, with room for a line just for each household. On the card, Draft a line for each writes those lines from what the party knows: what they brought, the wish they left, the note on their RSVP and who came. It never makes up a detail, and a household you’ve already written a line for keeps yours. Read each draft, change or clear any you like, then send.
