I see "this invitation is not final yet"

That label means the host hasn’t activated the invitation yet. You’re looking at a preview, for instance because the host asked you to take a look before it goes to everyone.

At the top of the page it says: Preview – this invitation is not final yet.

What does that mean for you?

  • The text, date or address may still change.
  • You can’t reply yet. If you try to send an RSVP or a guestbook message, you’ll see Not available in preview mode.
  • Add to calendar and Directions do work, but wait until the invitation is final before relying on them.

What can you do?

Did the host ask for your opinion? Then share your thoughts on the content with them directly. Did you get the link as a regular invitation? Open it again later: once it’s activated, the label disappears and all buttons work.

There’s nothing for you to do or pay. Activating is up to the host; for guests an invitation is always free.

Back to the start: You're invited: how it works. Or browse everything in For guests.
