Invite Cheat Sheet
This cheat sheet will guide you on creating an invitation, this includes adding emails to a list, editing the invite, and sending it.
How to add emails to your list
Usually, people just put all of their emails in the default list, but they also create new and customized lists like 'Family', 'Friends', or 'Guests'. You can also delete a list if you want.
To know how to add a list, you can visit this guide https://help.webbabyshower.com/401076-How-to-Add-Emails-to-a-List
In adding emails, we have two ways to do it.
First is by uploading a CSV file and the second is by copy and pasting your emails into the box manually. (We recommend the second way as it gives a more certain result than uploading the list)
In sending invites, we only need emails so it is okay if you won't include the names anymore.
When do we use the 'Default List'?
If you want a less complicated way of a list, you can just use the default list. Most people use it as it is simpler.
When to make multiple lists?
When you want different people to get different invites, you can create multiple lists. In every invite, you can just choose which list you want to be sent.
How to make multiple lists
1.
Go to > Host Control Panel Dashboard > Invitations > Lists
Click > Add New
2.
Input the name and description (optional) of your list, click Save.
Repeat the process if you want to add more.

How to add photos
Note: Adding photos is only applicable when you use the "WebBabyShower" template. We cant add photos using the preset templates at the moment, as we aim to make the format consistent.

After Changing the theme you can then edit your invitation and also add photos. So to add photos, click Full-Size Image in the module section which is located on the right side of the template
An image will be added at the bottom of your invitation, you can move it up if you want.
Click the image to change it with yours. Choose your image and click Save.
