How do I turn the invitation's music or effects off?

Hosts can add a soundtrack and a layer of falling petals, hearts or sparkles to their invitation. Both are yours to control.

Music

1. 1Open the envelope. If the host chose a track, it starts then and loops; browsers never play sound before you have touched the page.
2. 2To pause it, tap the round note button at the bottom-right of the screen. The note is struck through while the music is off.
3. 3Tap again to play.

Music pauses by itself while you are in another tab, window or app, and resumes when you come back if it was playing. Music you turned off stays off. On a computer, hovering the button shows the track's name.

If you see the struck-through note as soon as the envelope opens, your browser blocked autoplay; one tap starts it. No button at all means the invitation has no music. On a phone with the Nimanto app, the music plays even with the ringer on silent.

Effects

Petals, snow, confetti or sparkles drift over the invitation once the envelope is open. There is no switch on the page, but:

• They never block a tap or cover a button.
• They pause while the browser tab is hidden.
• With Reduce Motion on in your phone's accessibility settings, no effects are drawn at all.

Reduce Motion

With Reduce Motion on, the envelope opens quickly, the characters and ornaments hold still, and pages appear without the rise-in. You still tap once to open the envelope.

Replaying the opening

Reload the page to watch the envelope open again. Your reply is kept; on your personal link it shows under the form as before.
