Planning an event?
Don't know where to start?
Let us help.

Here's everything you need — in the right order.

1
Choose your event type
Birthday, wedding, graduation, corporate…

First, nail down the occasion. Different Events have different traditions, guest expectations, and timelines. Pick from our event types below — each has tailored cinematic themes ready to go.

2
Lock in your date, time & venue
The three details guests ask first

Before you send a single invite, you need a confirmed date, a start time, and a location. Guests plan around these — get them locked in first.

  • Send invites 3–6 weeks out for casual events, 3–6 months for weddings.
  • Confirm the venue before invites go out — double-bookings are awkward.
  • For outdoor events, mention a backup plan in the invite.
3
Estimate your guest count
This shapes your venue, budget & invitation package

Your guest count shapes everything — venue size, food & drink budget, and your invitation package. It doesn't need to be final, but get a rough number early.

  • Under 50 guests? Small package — $24.99 flat
  • 50–150 guests? Medium — $59.99 flat
  • 150–500 guests? Large — $169.99 flat
  • 500–1,000 guests? XL — $199.99 flat

FAQ

Everything you need to know

How do guests RSVP?

Guests click the invite link, watch the cinematic invitation, and tap the RSVP button inside the card. They enter their name, email, and response. No account required.

Can I see who has responded?

Yes. Your planner dashboard shows every RSVP in real time — name, email, response (yes/no/maybe), and any note they left. You can export to CSV at any time.

How do I share the invitation?

You get a shareable link the moment you publish. Send it via text, email, WhatsApp, social media — however you like. Each guest that opens it sees the full cinematic experience.

What's the difference between a one-time event and Pro Planner?

A one-time event is a flat fee based on your guest count (from $24.99 for up to 50 guests) — you get a cinematic invite, live RSVP dashboard active for 90 days, and full guest export. Pro Planner ($49/month or $399/year) gives you unlimited events, permanent dashboards, and a multi-event management view — ideal for Wedding planners, event companies, and coordinators.

Do guests need to download an app?

No app needed. The invitation plays in any web browser on any device — phone, tablet, or computer.

Can I update event details after publishing?

You can update your dashboard notes and RSVP information. If you need to change core event details (venue, date), we recommend republishing with a new invite — the old link stays active with a note.

What themes can I use for invitations?

All of CinematicCard's themes are available — romantic, elegant, celebratory, festive, and more. Choose the one that matches your event's atmosphere.
