Questions, answered.
Something else? Write to us; a person answers.
Do I need an account?
No. Paste your list and start planning right away; your plan is kept in this browser. There is no account: when you buy a Wedding Pass, the email you give at checkout is how you restore it on another browser.
Is it really one payment?
Yes. The Wedding Pass is $29 (£25, €29, A$45 or C$39), paid once for one wedding. It stays active until 12 months after your wedding day. No subscription, nothing renews.
What happens to my guests’ data?
It is never sold and never used for ads, and there are no tracking pixels. Allergy and diet notes are optional and need the guest’s consent. RSVP answers on our server are deleted automatically within 12 months after the wedding date; if the date is already past or very close, 30 days after you create or update the link. From 30 days before, the planner shows a banner so you can export them. Your plan stays in your browser until you delete it.
Can I bring my list from Zola, The Knot or Joy?
Export a CSV from Zola, The Knot, Joy or Bridebook, or paste from Sheets or Excel. Check the columns before you import, since every export looks a little different. Plain text works too.
Can my partner and parents edit?
Not yet: your plan lives in one browser. You can share the RSVP link so guests answer for themselves, and print the poster and lists for your helpers. Shared editing is on the coming list under Pricing.
I’m in the UK. Does it do a table plan?
It does: a table plan is exactly what this is. The Pass is £25 in the UK, and every printable comes in A4 and A-sizes as well as US Letter.
