Showing or hiding a section for specific events

Control which sections display for different wedding events to show relevant content to the right guests.

If you have multiple wedding events (ceremony, reception, welcome party, etc.), you can control which sections appear for which events. This keeps your content organized and relevant!

What you can do with event-specific sections

Show different content for different events.

Keep things relevant. Ceremony guests see ceremony info, welcome party guests see welcome party info.

Organize complex weddings. If you have multiple events, this keeps your site from getting overwhelming.

Create custom experiences for guests invited to different events.

How to show or hide a section for specific events

  1. Go to Site in your main navigation
  2. Click on the section you want to configure
  3. Find the Events or Visibility setting
  4. Choose which events this section should appear for
  5. Click Save changes

Common uses

Event-specific timelines. Show ceremony timeline to ceremony guests, reception timeline to reception guests.

Different directions. Ceremony and reception at different venues? Show the right directions to the right people.

Welcome party details. Only show this to guests invited to the welcome party.

Dress code variations. If different events have different dress codes.

RSVP sections. Create separate RSVP sections for each event.

How it works with guest invitations

This feature works best when:

You've created multiple events in your Events section.

You've invited guests to specific events in your guest management.

Guests RSVP or log in. Then your site knows which events they're invited to and shows them the right content.

Setting it up

First, make sure you have:

  1. Multiple events created in your planner or events section
  2. Guests assigned to those events in your guest list
  3. Sections configured to show for specific events

Then when guests view your site, they see only what's relevant to them!

Tips for event-specific sections

Test from a guest perspective. RSVP as a test guest invited to different events to see what they'd see.

Don't hide too much. If you hide everything, guests might not see important info.

Combine with other privacy settings. You can make a section private AND event-specific for even more control.

Keep some sections universal. Your welcome message, couple's story, and registry probably should show to everyone.

When guests see the content

After they RSVP: Once guests RSVP and your site knows which events they're invited to, it shows the right sections.

If they're invited to multiple events: They see sections for all the events they're invited to.

If they're not logged in: They might see generic content or be prompted to RSVP.

Managing multiple events

If you're having a weekend of events:

Friday welcome dinner: Create sections just for this.

Saturday ceremony: Ceremony-specific content.

Saturday reception: Reception-specific content.

Sunday brunch: Brunch-specific content.

Guests invited to all four see everything. Guests invited to only some see just what's relevant!

Removing event restrictions

To make a section visible for all events again:

  1. Edit the section
  2. Find the events setting
  3. Select "All events" or deselect specific events
  4. Click Save changes

Combining with pages

If you have multiple pages on your site, you can also organize by page instead of (or in addition to) event-specific sections. For example:

  • Ceremony page with ceremony sections
  • Reception page with reception sections
  • Travel page with universal info

Choose the organization that makes sense for your wedding!

Event-specific sections help you create a tailored experience for guests, especially when you have multiple events and different guest lists for each!
