Client walkthrough

How WhizInvite works

A concise guide to the proof of concept — from landing page to published invitation, guest RSVP, and host guest list — with real screenshots from the running demo.

Overview

Summary

WhizInvite helps hosts create a cinematic digital invitation in about a minute, share a private link, and collect RSVPs — without asking guests to create an account.

This POC demonstrates one signature template (Gilded Vow) end to end: personalize in the editor, publish a shareable invitation, reply as a guest, and review responses on the host guest list. Replies in this demo are stored in the browser so the host list updates instantly on the same device.

Stakeholder note: This is a front-end proof of concept. Personalization travels in the invitation URL; RSVPs are stored in browser localStorage on the machine that submitted them — not a multi-user production backend.
