Setting up the night

You pick what kind of night it is and the run of show is already there. Nothing in it is fixed.

What is a run of show?
The evening as a list of moments with times on them — getting ready, arrival, the ceremony, speeches, the first dance. Each one carries its own prompts, and they reach your guests when that moment starts rather than all at once.
Do I have to write any of it?
No. Choosing the kind of night fills the whole thing in, at the hours those moments usually happen. Most hosts move a couple of times and delete one moment. Everything is editable, including the prompts.
What if the wedding moves to a different day?
Change the date on the event's page and the whole run of show moves with it, keeping its shape. A night that opened at five with cake at nine, moved to seven, has cake at eleven. Every prompt you have written stays exactly as you wrote it.
Is everybody asked the same thing?
No, and that is the point. Different guests get different prompts at the same moment, so the first dance comes back from three places at once instead of forty copies of the same photograph. Nobody is asked so often that they stop being a guest.
Can I test it before the night?
Yes. Preview mode lets you walk the whole thing on your own phone exactly as a guest would. Nothing you do in preview counts — it is not in the album, not in the numbers, and not in anybody's recap.
When do I pay?
After you have seen the whole thing built. You choose the kind of night, watch the run of show appear, change what you like, and nothing is charged until you decide to keep it.
