# HeyVite > HeyVite is a digital invitation and RSVP platform. Hosts create an invitation, add guests, then email invitations or share each guest's personal link themselves through WhatsApp or text. Replies, plus-ones and head counts appear on one live dashboard. Meal preferences and sub-events are available on eligible paid plans or as event add-ons. Guest Privacy is included on every plan: new events have personal guest links, no public guest list and name search off by default. Anyone with a guest's link can open and reply to that invitation, so hosts should share links directly. Hosts and co-hosts with the relevant permissions can manage responses. Invitation and RSVP pages have no ads, analytics or session replay. Hosts can enable name search for an event when they want an open link. ## What HeyVite does - Sends digital invitations (e-cards) for weddings, birthdays, baby and bridal showers, graduations, anniversaries, corporate events, parties, and save-the-dates. - Tracks RSVPs in real time, including plus-ones and head counts. Paid plans and add-ons offer meal preferences and multiple sub-events. - Emails invitations, or lets hosts share each guest's personal link themselves through WhatsApp or text. - Provides a drag-and-drop Card Studio to personalize every line of text and the layout of the card. - Accepts custom artwork upload, so a host can bring a finished design and HeyVite makes it the full card. - Offers one-click RSVP reminders to non-responders, private guest messaging, and a live host dashboard. ## Unique selling point Guest privacy. Every guest gets a personal link to their invitation and RSVP. On every plan, new events have no public roster or name lookup by default. Anyone with that link can open and reply to the invitation, so it should be shared directly. Hosts and co-hosts with the relevant permissions can see the guest list and responses. Hosts can enable name search for an event when they want an open link. ## Key facts - Free plan: invitation designs, Card Studio and RSVP tracking for up to 40 guests per event. No credit card required. - Paid event plans add capacity and planning features for one event. Optional yearly passes are subscriptions covering unlimited events while active. - Need a little more than a plan includes? One-time add-ons attach to a single event and never renew: extra guest packs (5/10/15/20 places), a sub-event, a co-host, an RSVP reminder, 25 album photos, or planning tools such as the event website, seating map, meal preferences and floor plan. - Paid purchases carry a 14-day refund guarantee as long as no invitations have been sent for the event. - No ads on any plan and no watermark on any card. Analytics and session replay do not run on invitation and RSVP pages. - Guests need no app, account or phone verification. The invitation opens in a browser. HeyVite emails invitations, or the host shares each guest's link through WhatsApp or text. - Payments and taxes are handled by Paddle, the Merchant of Record. ## HeyVite invitation features - HeyVite is built around sending and tracking.

Menus are scoped like seating: the whole event can share one, or each sub-event can carry its own. ## Guest seating in detail Digital seating is included with Plus and higher per-event plans, and with yearly passes. Sub-event seating requires a plan that includes sub-events: - Seating is scoped per sub-event: a ceremony and a reception can each have their own tables, floor plan, seat list and publish switch, under one event. - Hosts import a seat list as a CSV with name, table and seat columns. Names are matched to the guest list (exact, then case-insensitive, then by name parts with a 0.6 token-overlap floor); unmatched rows are fixed by hand from a dropdown of real guests. - Each event has a stable, printable QR code to a seat-lookup page. The QR never changes, so printed signage stays correct while the host keeps editing seats up to the last minute. - When a guest scans the code, they type their name and see only their own table, seat number and floor plan - never anyone else's seat. There is no public seating chart. - On the invitation itself, an attending guest sees a card reading which table and seat is theirs, with the uploaded floor plan, and the menu. Nothing seating-related is visible to anyone until the host publishes. - A digital menu (uploaded image or typed text, saving automatically as the host types) is shown on the guest's event page once its seating scope is published. The whole event can share one menu, or each sub-event can carry its own. - [All features](https://heyvite.com/features): the complete feature index. ## Occasions and event types - [Wedding](https://heyvite.com/invitations/wedding): online wedding invitations with RSVP.
