How to Add Guests by Name (and send personalized invites)

Step 1: Access the 'Invite Guests' screen

There are two ways you can access this page:

  1. You will be automatically forwarded to this page after clicking the "Continue" button on the 'Details' page
  2. You can come back to this page anytime by opening the event and clicking on "Invite" in the top navigation bar


Step 2: Click the "Invite guests" button


Step 3: Choose "Add / Edit Guests"


Step 3: Add guests to your guestlist

There are three ways you can add your guests...

Option 1:  Add guests one-by-one

  • Add your guest's info and click "Save & continue" button (Name is required.  Email is optional)

Option 2:  Add guests in bulk from a list (Paste a list)

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to add your list

Option 3:  Add guests from contact list

  • Your Address Book will pop open.  This Address Book contains the contacts for any/all contacts you've added to past events with YAY-List. 


Step 4: Send your invitations

  • As you add your guests, you will be prompted to send their invitations.  Or, you can wait and send them latter - both one by one or in bulk.
  • To send, or resend, invitations later, from the "Invite" page, click "View all guests" at top of page to display the Guest List
  • With the guest list showing, clicking on the send button (airplane icon) for any guest will reveal the send actions for that specific guest

  • Or, you can select multiple guests to reveal the "Bulk Actions" menu with options to send or print multiple invitations at once
