Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a reception invite on Ocvite?

Choose a reception template, add a photo of the couple and customise names, colours and fonts. Enter the date, time, venue with map, dress code and dinner details. Share by WhatsApp, email or link, and responses from colleagues, friends and family appear in your dashboard as they reply.

What details should go on a reception invitation?

Include the couple's names, hosting family, date, time, venue and map. Mention the dress code, whether dinner is served, parking or valet arrangements, and a contact person. If the reception is in a different city from the wedding, say so clearly so guests do not confuse the two events.

When should wedding reception invitations be sent?

Send reception invites four to six weeks before. If it is held soon after the wedding or in another city, share it alongside the wedding invitation. Office colleagues and friends who only attend the reception appreciate a clear, separate invite and a reminder a day or two before.

How do I manage RSVPs for a large reception?

Add guests in batches, from family lists to office contacts, and let them reply attending, not attending or maybe. You will see totals and plus-ones in real time and can see who opened the invite, so you can follow up selectively and confirm a final plate count with the caterer.

Why do couples hold the reception separately from the wedding?

Wedding rituals are often attended by close family and may run late into the night, while the reception is designed to welcome a much wider circle. Some couples host it in the groom's hometown or the city where they live, so guests who missed the ceremony can still meet them.
