Questions? We’ve Got Answers
How can I make a garden party invite with Ocvite?
Choose a floral or greenery template, type in the date, time and the garden or farmhouse address, and add a note about your weather plan. Adjust the palette to match your flowers or décor. Share the link on WhatsApp or email, and guests confirm with a tap.
What should a garden party invitation include?
Mention the exact outdoor spot and how to reach it, the timing, and whether it is rain or shine. Suggest suitable footwear, since heels sink into grass. If it is a farmhouse, add parking guidance. Listing light food and drinks helps guests decide whether to eat beforehand.
When should I send garden party invitations?
Aim for two to three weeks ahead, ideally choosing a season with mild weather such as early spring or the cooler months after the monsoon in much of India. Send a reminder a couple of days before with any forecast-related update, like moving under a canopy.
How do I track numbers for an outdoor garden event?
Guests mark attending, not attending or maybe on the Ocvite link, and plus-ones are counted. The live total tells you how many chairs, umbrellas and serving tables to arrange. If you rent furniture, set your RSVP deadline a few days before the rental order is due.
What is a good dress code for a garden party?
Garden attire usually means light, breathable fabrics and pastel or floral prints: sundresses, linen shirts, cotton kurtas or chinos. Suggest flat sandals or block heels for the lawn, and a hat or sunglasses for a daytime event. Stating this keeps guests comfortable outdoors.
