How do I add a guest to my invitation?

Adding guests one at a time suits a short list, or a late addition to a list you imported.

Add a guest

1. 1Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Guests & RSVPs.
2. 2Choose Add guest.
3. 3Type the Name. It is the only required field.
4. 4Add an E-mail if you want Nimanto to send their invitation, and a Phone for WhatsApp and text links. Pick the country first, then type the number without the country code.
5. 5Set Passes (max headcount): the most people this guest's personal link can reply for, counting themselves. A sensible default is filled in.
6. 6Add a Group / side if it helps, such as "Family" or "Bride's side".
7. 7Tick E-mail the invitation now if you want it sent straight away, then save.

The toast reads "Guest added", or "Guest added · 1 of 1 e-mail sent" when the e-mail went.

When the invitation is not published yet

The E-mail the invitation now box is switched off, with the reason: nobody is e-mailed before you publish. The moment you publish, everyone with an e-mail address gets their invitation automatically, once.

What Nimanto checks

• An address whose domain cannot receive mail is refused, with a suggestion when it looks like a typo ("Did you mean [email protected]?").
• An address that works but looks mistyped is accepted, with a hint in the toast so you can check it.
• A phone number keeps its digits and plus sign and needs at least seven digits.

See guest e-mail checks for what happens to bounces later.

The contact book

Every guest you add is also saved to your contact book, matched by e-mail first and then by phone. If that person is already a contact, the contact is reused and your group is added to their tags. If they are already on this invitation, the existing row is updated instead of duplicated.
