What is Collect Details?
Collect Details is a form that lets guests:
- Add themselves to your guest list
- Submit their contact information
- Provide mailing addresses
- Update their details
This is useful when you don't have complete contact information for all your guests.

- Click the settings icon or Settings
- Toggle on Enable collection form

Sharing the link
You can share your Collect Details link via:

Managing submissions
When guests submit their details:
1. They appear in your guest list
2. Review new entries in Guests
3. Organize them into households
4. Assign them to events
Preventing unwanted submissions
To control who can submit:
- Share the link only with people you know
- Review all submissions before sending invitations
- Delete any unknown entries
- Consider closing the form after a deadline
Can I customize the form design?
The Collect Details form uses a standard layout. Your website's fonts, colors, themes, and custom CSS do not apply to this form. You can customize the text and wording (form labels and messages) by clicking Edit wording in the Collect Details settings, but not the visual design.
Tips
- Share early to gather addresses for physical invitations
- Check for duplicate entries regularly
- Merge duplicates if guests submit twice
- Close the form once you have everyone's details
- Review submissions before your RSVP goes live
