In short
Start with what the occasion is, then its name, date and place. The invitation is set up for you from that choice — wording, reply buttons and the questions that suit it — and you change whatever you like. When it reads right, Publish. Nothing reaches a guest until you send it.

On the web
Open Occasions and choose Plan your first occasion (or New occasion). Pick what it is, then give it a name, a date and a place. The Occasion then has these tabs. Details — name, date, time and place — is in the line above them (Occasions › Details).
| Tab | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Invitation | Wording, opening page, lettering and colors, reply questions, sponsors |
| Guests | Your guest list |
| Send | Sending the invitation, and Edit the welcome message — the note each guest receives in the Linxy App when they reply |
| Replies | Who’s coming, every answer, and an export |
| Community | The Occasion’s community |
In the Linxy App
Open Invitations, go to the Hosting tab and choose New occasion. After the kind and details, the Occasion opens with four tabs: Invitation, Guests, Messages and Replies. You send the invitation from Messages, where The invitation sits at the top of the plan. On the Invitation tab, tap a row to change it:
| Row | What you set |
|---|---|
| Details | Name, date and place |
| Wording | The small line above the name, the headline, the line under it, and your message |
| Reply buttons | The words on the yes and no buttons, and whether guests can watch online |
| Reply by | The last day guests can reply |
| Questions | Which questions the reply asks, and which are required |
| Design | The opening page, lettering, colors and sponsors. It opens the full designer inside the app |
| Who can reply | Only the guests on your list, or anyone with the invitation |
Tap the cover to choose or take a photo, and use Add a video message for a short video from the hosts. Preview shows the invitation exactly as a guest will see it.
What the invitation holds
The date and place come from the Occasion’s details. You add a cover photo, the wording, a message from the hosts, an optional host video, and up to six links — a registry, a fund, anything guests may want to open. Links are only shown; nothing is paid through Linxy.
Publishing
Publish makes sure every guest on your list has a working personal link, gives the Occasion an event link that works for everyone, and opens its community. Publishing doesn’t send anything — you send from the Send tab on the web, or from Messages in the Linxy App, when you’re ready. You can keep editing after publishing; choose Save and keep published. Stop replies closes replies without deleting anything, and publishing again reopens them.
