Showing or hiding a section for specific events or groups

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

You can control which sections appear based on guest groups or event invitations. This keeps your content organized and relevant!

How it works

This feature works with guest groups and event invitations:

Using groups:
1. Create groups in your guest list (e.g., "Wedding Party", "Family")
2. Assign guests to the appropriate groups
3. Set sections to display to or hide from a specific group

Using events:
1. Create events in your RSVP settings (e.g., "Ceremony", "Reception")
2. Invite guests to specific events
3. Set sections to display to or hide from guests of a specific event

When guests check in on your site, they see only what's relevant to them!

Tips

Test from a guest perspective. Preview your site as a test guest in different groups or events to see what they'd see.

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

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

Groups vs. events. Use groups when visibility is based on who someone is (family, wedding party). Use events when it's based on what they're attending (ceremony, reception).

When guests see the content

After they check in: Once guests check in, your site knows their group and event invitations and shows the right sections.

If they're in multiple groups or events: They see sections for everything they're part of.

If they haven't checked in: They might see generic content or be prompted to check in.

Removing restrictions

To make a section visible to everyone again:

  1. Edit the section
  2. Click Make public
  3. Click Save changes

Groups vs. events for visibility

Groups are great for categories of people: wedding party, family, college friends, VIPs. A guest belongs to one group.

Events are great for activities: ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner. A guest can be invited to multiple events.

You can use either approach depending on what makes sense for your content!
