Designs & the studio

What if a name or address is too long?

By Nimanto 1 min read

In short

Type them as they should read. A line that runs longer than the design's sample pushes the lines under it down and the page grows to fit, so long names, venues and addresses never overlap other text.

Designs are drawn with short sample names and a sample venue. Real names are often longer, and that is fine.

How the design makes room

  • When a line runs longer than the sample, the lines under it move down to make room and the page grows.
  • Nothing is printed over anything else, on a phone or on a laptop.
  • Lines you leave blank close up, so the page never keeps an empty gap either.

So type the names, the venue and the address exactly as they should read on the invitation, titles and all.

Where to check

  1. Watch the phone preview beside the create form as you type; it scrolls to the page you are filling in.
  2. After creating the invitation, choose Preview on its Overview to see it full screen, on Phone and on Desktop. See Preview as a guest.

If something still looks wrong

  • Shorten a line where you can: "The Grand Pavilion" rather than the full legal name, with the full address on its own line.
  • A function's venue is set on the function itself, so a long address there does not crowd the cover.
  • If a page you rearranged in the Invitation studio looks off after a change, open the studio again and move the element.
