FAQ

Questions, gently answered.

Getting started

Do I need an account to create an event?+

Yes. Hosts need an account to manage their event. Guests do not, they RSVP via a public or invite-only link.

How long does it take to set up?+

About 12 minutes. Pick a type, choose a template, fill in basics, share the link.

Can I change templates later?+

Yes. The Edit tab lets you switch templates and override colors at any time.

RSVPs & guests

Do guests need to sign up?+

No. Guests can RSVP as a one-time submission with their name and (optionally) email.

Can I import a guest list?+

Yes. Paste a CSV: name, email, category, plus_ones, vip, notes, one row per guest.

How do I send invitations?+

Add guests, then click "Send invites" on the Guests tab. We deliver via Resend with a template-matched email.

Photos & gallery

Are photos public or moderated?+

Every photo a guest posts waits for host approval before it appears, on every event. There is no setting that turns that off.

Does face blur work?+

A guest can blur faces before uploading, and it runs in their own browser. It is a step the guest chooses, not applied to every upload. Hosts can also blur during moderation.

How are highlights chosen?+

AI scores every photo for emotional resonance, composition, and on-tone storytelling. Top 12 become highlights with AI captions.

Donations & fundraising

How are donations processed?+

Stripe Payment Intents for one-time, Stripe Checkout subscription mode for recurring.

Are tax-deductible receipts supported?+

Yes, auto-emailed when your organization profile has a tax ID.

Can I refund a donation?+

Yes. Refund any completed donation from the Donations tab.

Privacy & security

Who can see my event?+

Events default to unlisted, which means they are reachable only by their link. You can also set an event to public, so it is listed on Discover, or to invite-only, where anyone without an invite link gets a 404 instead of the page.

How is my data protected?+

PostgreSQL with row-level security on every table. Encrypted at rest and in transit. Photo uploads scoped to the event.

Can I delete my account?+

Yes, fully GDPR-compliant. Settings → Delete account permanently removes you, your events, and your guest data.
