Collecting Contact Info

The contact collector is a shareable form your guests use to give you their phone, email, address, and anything else you need — so you don't have to chase it down one text at a time.

What it is

Instead of asking each guest for their address over text, you share one link (or QR code). Guests open it, find their name, fill in what you need, and submit. Their info lands straight in your Guest List — no spreadsheet to merge, no responses tab to sift through.

Setting it up

Open your event and go to Guests → Collect Info. From there you can:

Pick which fields to ask for. Phone, email, and address come built-in — toggle any of them off if you don't need them.
Add custom questions (dietary restrictions, song requests, t-shirt size, etc.). Anything you add becomes a custom attribute on each guest, so you can filter and segment on it later.
Mark fields as required or optional.
Customize the form's look — image, heading, and fonts — to match your event.

Sharing the form

Once your form is set up, copy the link or grab the QR code from the Share card. Common ways to send it:

Drop the link into a text blast (first text blast guide).
Print the QR code on a save-the-date or insert card.
Email the link if you already have addresses for some guests.

Who can submit

Under How guests access the form you pick one of three modes:

Guest list + self-register (recommended)

Guests find themselves by searching their name. If their name isn't on the list (typo, nickname, plus-one you didn't know about), they can still submit and you'll review the entry before it joins the guest list.

Guest list only

Only people you've already added can submit. Best when your list is locked down and you don't want anyone with the link to add themselves.

Freeform

Anyone with the link submits without matching a guest. Best when you have no pre-built list. Less recommended for weddings, since plus-ones and family members get harder to keep straight.

Where the submissions land

Every submission updates the guest's record directly in your Guest List. There is no separate “responses” tab to check — open Guests, and the phone, email, address, or custom attributes you collected are right there on each guest, ready to use for messaging, RSVPs, or anything else.

If you're using Guest list + self-register and someone submitted without matching the list, you'll see a banner above the guest list with a Review button — accept or decline each pending entry before it joins.

FAQs & Common Gotchas

Plus-ones go on the same submission

If a guest's plus-one is known, they fill in both names on one form. The plus-one is created on the same family, sharing the same address.

Re-submissions overwrite, they don't duplicate

If a guest submits twice — say they realize they put in the wrong phone number — the second submission updates the same guest record. You won't end up with duplicates.

Address is per-family, not per-guest

When a guest fills in their address, it's saved to everyone in their family on your guest list. That way you don't need to collect it from each plus-one or family member separately.
