What happens to a line I leave blank?

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

An optional line you leave blank is left off the invitation, together with its label, and the lines under it move up. A page whose every line is blank leaves too. The line is kept aside, so you can fill it in later under Update invitation details.

Nimanto never prints a design's sample words on your invitation. Every optional line you leave blank is simply left out, and the design closes the gap, so guests never see an empty label or a hole in the page.

What guests see

  • A blank optional line is removed with anything tied to it, such as its label or the hairline under it, and the lines below move up.
  • A page of optional details with every line blank, such as Good to know, is removed altogether.
  • A photo frame with no photo is left out, with any ornament that only framed it. A gallery with no photos is left out too.
  • The cover always keeps its layout. A blank line there stays as air rather than closing up.
  • Where to stay and the gift registry stay off the invitation until they have a place, or words or a list.

The required details work differently: the names, the date, the venue and the invitation message would otherwise print the design's sample, so the create form asks for them before the invitation exists. See the essentials.

Fill a blank line in later

A line you skipped is not thrown away. It is kept with the invitation, out of sight, and asked for again under Update invitation details.

  1. Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Update details.
  2. Go to the Details step and find the page's box. If the page is switched off, switch it on.
  3. Type into the line and choose Save.
  4. On a published invitation, choose Publish changes.

The line comes back exactly where the design had it, with its label.

Switch a page off instead

To leave a page out whether or not it has content, use its switch on the Pages & alerts step. Pages marked Always on, such as the cover and the sharing page, cannot be switched off. The designs topic explains the rules in Pages that hide when empty.
