Can I Customize the Sender Name and Subject Line?

How do I tell if I am designing a Legacy (V1) Card, V2 Card, or Flyer? 

Flyers have a different layout from cards — if the invitation is split into two distinct sections with editable text on the left and an animated image on the right, it is a Flyer.

If you are designing a Card, look for the V2 icon in the lower left corner of your page, as seen here. If you don't see V2, it's a Legacy card!

V2 Card and Flyer

If you are sending directly through Paperless Post, you will have the option to customize the email's From line/sender name and Subject line before sending.

At the top of the Add Guests/Recipients page, you will see the editable 'From' and 'Subject' Fields. These will be pre-populated with the host name and event title that you already set up on your Details page, if applicable. They can also be changed to whatever you would like to display in your recipients' inboxes. Due to platform-wide limitations with email, the From name is limited to 45 characters and the Subject line is limited to 70 characters.

V1 Card

Host name

You can add a Host name, which will appear on your event page. On a Greeting Card, Announcement, or Card with Website Link, the Add Recipients page will say "From". 

This also populates the "From" name in the email that's sent, which you can change this when you set up your recipient list.

If you have multiple host names, you can separate them in the "From/Host" field with an ampersand (&).  However, at this time you cannot add any other special characters, such as commas. Symbols and punctuation can be distorted in an email client if the characters are not parsed correctly, and have been disabled to protect the email we send. 

The following punctuation is not supported within the From/Host Field:
! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) + = [ ] \ ; , / { } | " : < > ? ~

 

Event name

This will appear on your event page, and in any messages you send to your recipients. 

This populates the Subject line for the email that's sent, but you can edit the subject as you're setting up your recipient list.

 

Email Subject

You can change the “Subject” of the email that your recipients receive at the top of the Add Guests/Recipients page. You can preview how your recipients will see it by choosing "Send me a free test" at the bottom of your recipient list.
