From idea
to celebration.
This is the full journey of an event on Vowly — creating the invitation, sharing it, collecting RSVPs, planning with your people, and enjoying the day itself.
- Define your event
- Reach every guest
- Watch responses arrive
- Bring in your people
- Enjoy the celebration
Request the honour of your presence
Define your event
Answer a few guided questions — event type, names, date, venue — and Vowly builds your invitation page on the spot.
Until you tap Publish, the invitation stays a draft — guests see nothing before you want them to. Your data lives in the European Union from the first second.
Guided wizard
The setup adapts to your occasion: weddings, engagements, birthdays, corporate events and parties each get fitting defaults.
40 curated themes
Professionally designed invitation themes across ten event families — each with its own typography, palette and mood.
A link and a real QR code
Every event gets a clean personal link (like vowly.co/e/sophie-james) and a genuine, print-ready QR code.
Nine languages
Work in English, German, French, Italian, Turkish, Spanish, Polish, Dutch or Portuguese — and your guests are greeted in their own language too.
Reach every guest
One link carries your whole invitation. Send it through the channels your guests already use — or print the QR code on beautiful paper.
Because the invitation is a live page rather than an attachment, you can keep refining details after sending — guests always see the latest version.
Any channel you like
WhatsApp, e-mail, social media or a simple message — your invitation travels as a single elegant link.
Print-ready QR
Add the QR code to printed invitations, table cards or signage. One scan opens your event page.
Nothing for guests to install
The invitation opens in any browser on any device — no app, no account, no friction.
Always up to date
Changed the time or venue? Your page updates instantly for everyone — no reprints, no corrections to chase.
Watch responses arrive
Guests reply in seconds — going or not, with party size and dietary notes — and you watch it happen live.
Every RSVP appears on your dashboard the moment it is submitted. Party sizes and dietary notes are attached to each guest, so the caterer conversation becomes a two-minute job.
Reply in the browser
Guests answer straight from the invitation page — going or not, how many, and what they eat. No app, no account.
Live dashboard
Attendance, pending replies, party sizes and dietary notes — updated in real time on your phone and the web.
Guests edit their own reply
From any device, without asking you — the list updates itself.
Allergies and dietary preferences
Fourteen allergens and seven preferences, chosen by the guest and shared for the menu only.
Hello! We would love to capture your day — here is our proposal and portfolio.
Bring in your people
A celebration is a team effort. Share the work with your partner or planner, keep your to-dos in one place, and find trusted vendors.
Team planning is part of Premium: people you invite see the same live picture you do, in their own language, on their own devices.
Team roles
Invite your partner, family or planner by e-mail, per event. Roles decide who can edit and who can only view.
Tasks & budget notes
Payments, fittings, calls and meetings — track them with due dates and amounts right next to your guest list.
Vendor marketplace
Browse venues, photographers, caterers and musicians near you. Send one structured brief instead of twenty phone calls.
Quotes & chat
Compare offers, portfolios and meeting proposals in one tidy conversation per vendor.
The planning lives inside the app.
Invitations and RSVPs are only the beginning. Every event opens a full planning studio — seat your guests, build the menu, set the budget and more, all in the same app your guests already use.
- Drag guests onto tables in a visual seating plan that updates live for everyone helping you host.
- Build the menu course by course, and read each guest's dietary notes right beside their RSVP.
- Let guests request songs, then approve the ones that make the final playlist.
- Follow the budget category by category, and open a gift list — a curated wish list, your IBAN, or both.
Enjoy the celebration
On the day, your dashboard shows the final picture at a glance — and afterwards, the memories stay.
You stay in control after the event too: keep everything as a keepsake, export nothing you don't want to, and delete your data permanently whenever you choose.
The final headcount
Attendance, party sizes and dietary breakdowns are ready for the venue and the caterer — no last-minute surprises.
A growing gallery
Guests keep adding photos during and after the event — moments you would never have collected otherwise.
Guest book messages
Wishes and notes from your guests, gathered in one place and kept with your event.
Your events, kept
Past events stay in your account — revisit the gallery and guest book whenever you like, or delete them for good.
Small things
that matter.
Practical recommendations for the weeks before the day.
Send invitations 6–8 weeks ahead
Enough notice for guests to plan, close enough that nobody forgets. For weddings with travel, go earlier.
Fill the guest portal early
Add hotels, directions and the schedule before you share — it answers questions before they're asked.
Use the dietary notes
Ask guests to note allergies and preferences when they RSVP; your caterer will thank you.
Print the QR at 1.5 cm or larger
Smaller codes struggle in low light. Leave a little white space around it on the card.
Test with a small group first
Send the link to a few trusted people before the full list — it catches typos and missing details.
Share the work
Invite your partner or planner to the team early. Two pairs of eyes keep the guest list tidy.
