How to put an engagement ceremony and dinner on one page, with Call buttons for both families and a count of who is coming.
Summarize with ChatGPTShort answer
An engagement video invitation works best when the video is a short, warm welcome and the page holds the facts: the ceremony time, the dinner time, the venue and a way to reply. Add a Call button for each family so guests know who to ask.
What goes in the video?
- The couple's names and a line from both families.
- The date.
- The venue name and city.
A few photos and a gentle song are enough. Avoid putting every detail in the clip. If the time moves, you will not want to export the video again.
How do I show the ceremony and the dinner?
Add each as its own event on the page, with its own time and, if it is somewhere else, its own venue. Guests who are only invited to the dinner see it at a glance. The page can hold several events on one link.
What should I ask on the RSVP?
- How many are coming. Each family can reply once for the whole household.
- Food needs. The dietary notes field covers the common cases.
- A question of your own, such as "Which side are you from?" if you want separate counts. You can add up to two questions.
Replies show on your dashboard and can be exported for the caterer or the seating plan.
What else helps guests?
- A Directions button to the venue, and a note about parking.
- A Call button for each family, each with a name.
- A dress code, written in the host note.
- Add to calendar and a countdown.
How is this different from a wedding invitation?
An engagement usually has fewer guests and a shorter list of events. The same page works for both, and you can reuse it as a template of your own for the wedding later. For the wedding itself, see our guide to a wedding video invitation with RSVP.
