What is the difference between "Definitely" and "Maybe" invited in my guest list?

Our "Definitely" and "Maybe" filters help you pare down your guest list by separating people who you definitely want at your wedding from those who you'd like to have, but may not have room for.

These filters are super helpful when you're first building your list, so you can see different versions until you find the one that works for your budget and/or venue. Friendly reminder: no one will see this except you and your partner.

Why is this important?

1. Once you get started sending out invites, only guests marked as "Definitely Invited" will be able to RSVP through your website. Guests marked as "Maybe Invited" will not be able to RSVP through your website. If you end up inviting someone off the "Maybe" list, make sure to change them to "Definitely."

2. When setting up an Invites & Paper order, only guests marked as "Definitely Invited" will be added to the guest addressing on your envelope. Guests marked as "Maybe Invited" will not be added to your guest addressing.

We help you track the total number of guests at the top of the guest list. Click on "Definitely Invited" to see the breakdown of adults and children invited.
