Publishing & sending
Can I change the date or venue after sending?

In short
Yes. Open the invitation, choose Update details and change the date or venue on the Essentials step; the link stays the same and reminders move with the date. A published invitation has a set number of free date changes, shown under the date. Changing only the time never counts.
Plans move. Your invitation moves with them: change the date or the venue once and every guest's link shows the new details, with no new link to send.
Change the date or venue
- 1Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Update details.
- 2On the Essentials step, change Date & time or pick the new place under Venue. Picking from the search fills the address and the directions.
- 3Choose Save.
- 4Read the "Change the date?" dialog if the day moved, and confirm with Change the date.
- 5Choose Publish changes so the date and venue printed inside the design follow. Calendar links, e-mails and the share message use the new details as soon as you save.
- 6Tell your guests with Message guests. See reminders.
What counts as a date change
- Only moving a published invitation's date to another calendar day counts. Changing only the time never counts; a new time on the same day is saved at once, as often as you like.
- The line under the date tells you where you stand, for example "2 of 3 free date changes left".
- On a premium design, once the free changes are used, the next change is a one-time purchase; the dialog shows the price and Pay buys one more change. On a free design date changes are never charged. See date-change credits.
- A postponement can move the date by up to a year from its current date. Moving it earlier has no such limit.
Every date change moves the automatic reminders to the new date.
What guests see
- The date and venue in e-mails, calendar links and the preview card under your link change the moment you save.
- The words printed inside the design change when you publish again. Guests keep seeing the earlier version until then.
- The link stays the same, so a QR code already printed still works.
When the date is locked
Once the event has taken place, its date, title and design lock. The page says "This event took place on <date>. A past invitation can't be moved to a new date or renamed." For a new occasion on the same design, choose Duplicate under More on the Overview. See unpublish, duplicate and delete.
