It's always a good idea to preview your Card or Flyer prior to sending to check for errors and to get an idea of what your recipients will see in their inbox. The steps to preview your event depend on whether you are sending a V1 Card, V2 Card, or Flyer:
How do I tell if I am designing a 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 V1 card!
V2 Card
There are two ways to view a preview of your V2 Card to see how it will appear for your recipients. Please note that we do not currently have a way for you to preview your recipient names in card previews, but your recipient names will appear exactly how you enter them in your list. Instead you will see the name saved to your own account or "Your guest's name will go here" when previewing your design.
To view an online preview of your Card design:
On the Create/Edit page for your Card, you can click the "Preview" button with an eye icon on the top-right of the page. This will allow you to see how your card image, envelope animation, and event details will appear from either a desktop computer or a mobile device. You can toggle the preview from desktop to mobile by clicking the phone and computer icons at the top of the page.
To view a preview of the Card email or text message that will arrive in your recipients' inboxes:
From your card's Manage Tracking page, select the blue "Add guests" button in the top-right corner. (If you have guests entered, this button will instead read "View # unsent invites.") From the new page that opens, click the "Preview" button with the eye icon in the top right.
From here, you can toggle previews of how the card will appear as an email or as a text message.
From the Email preview, you can also click the blue "Email me a test" button to send yourself a free test email of the card. The free test will allow you to see how the email your recipients receive will appear, as well as how the event page will look. You can also forward the Free Test to anyone else who needs to see it before you send your card.
Flyer
There are two ways to view a preview of your Flyer to see how it will appear for your recipients:
To view an online preview of your Flyer design:
From the Create/Edit page for your Flyer, you can click the "Preview" button with an eye icon on the top right of the page. This will allow you to see how your Flyer will appear from either a desktop computer or a mobile device. You can toggle the preview from desktop to mobile by clicking the phone and computer icons at the top of the page.
To view a preview of the Flyer email or text message that will arrive in your recipients' inboxes:
From your Flyer's Manage Tracking page, select the blue "Add guests" button in the top-right corner. (If you have guests entered, this button will instead read "View # unsent invites.") From the new page that opens, you can click the "Email me a test" button to send yourself a free test email of the Flyer. The free test will allow you to see how the email your recipients receive will appear, as well as how the event page will look. You can also forward the Free Test to anyone else who needs to see it before you send your card.
From the Add Guests page, you can also click the "Preview" button with the eye icon in the top right. From here, you can toggle previews of how the Flyer will appear as an email or as a text message.
