Can I customize the design of the RSVP form and other pages?

Understand which pages support design customization (fonts, colors, CSS) and which pages use a standard layout.

Short answer: Design customization (fonts, colors, themes, custom CSS) applies to your wedding website and ecards only. The RSVP form, Collect Details form, check-in form, access code page, and coming soon page use a standard layout that cannot be customized with design changes. You can customize the text and wording on these pages, but not their visual appearance.

Where design customization applies

Your design settings (fonts, colors, themes, backgrounds, and custom CSS) apply to:

  • Your wedding website - All pages and sections you build in the website editor
  • Save the date ecard - The digital save the date you design and send
  • Invitation ecard - The digital invitation you design and send

These are the pages where your theme, color scheme, typography, and any custom CSS take effect.

Where design customization does not apply

The following pages use a standard layout and are not affected by your theme, colors, fonts, or custom CSS:

  • RSVP form - All steps including name lookup, attendance, events, questions, and confirmation
  • Collect Details form - The form where guests submit their contact information (and the update details form)
  • Check-in form - The form guests use to check in at your event
  • Access code page - The password prompt shown when your site is password-protected
  • Coming soon page - The placeholder page shown when your site is not yet published

These pages are designed to be clean, fast, and accessible on all devices. They operate independently from your wedding website's design.

What you can customize on these pages

While you can't change the visual design of these pages, you can customize the text and wording on most of them:

  • RSVP form - Edit the welcome message, attendance question, button labels, confirmation text, and add custom questions. Go to RSVP > Form and click Edit wording.
  • Collect Details form - Edit the form labels and messages. Go to Guests > Collect details and click Edit wording.
  • Check-in form - Edit the check-in greeting and button text. Go to Site > Builder > Site settings > Check-in.
  • Access code page - Edit the prompt message and error text. Go to Site > Builder > Site settings > Guest authentication.

Why custom CSS doesn't affect these pages

A common assumption is that adding custom CSS to your website (in Site > Builder > Site settings > Design) or to your ecards will also style the RSVP form and other pages. This is not the case.

Custom CSS for your website only applies to your wedding website pages. Custom CSS for your ecards only applies to the save the date or invitation ecard. The RSVP form, Collect Details form, check-in form, access code page, and coming soon page use a completely separate layout that does not load your website or ecard styles.

Tips

Focus on wording. Even though you can't change the visual design, customizing the text and wording on these forms lets you match the tone of your wedding, whether that's formal, casual, or playful.

Your website makes the first impression. Guests see your beautifully designed wedding website first. The RSVP form and other pages are functional steps that guests move through quickly, so the standard layout works well in practice.
