InviteGala doesn't send messages for you. Each one goes from your own WhatsApp, so guests see it comes from you. We fill in the message for you, with each guest's name, functions, seats and link already typed.
1. Set your message once

Open the message
On Guests & links, click WhatsApp message.

Edit the wording
Change the text however you like. Words in braces are filled in for each guest: {name}, {functions}, {seats}, {link}, {hosts} and {names}. The preview below shows how it looks for your first guest.

Work through the list
Filter the status to Not sent to see who's left. If you shared a link another way, use Mark as sent in the … menu.
3. Groups and broadcasts
- Family WhatsApp groups: use WhatsApp next to the Main link, or next to a function link.
- Circles of friends or colleagues: send a group link once; everyone replies with their own name.
- Status and stories: send a video or still picture from Design & media. See Download your videos and image cards.
