Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

Why is NearlyWeds free?

Because it costs us very little to run and we would rather have the couples. We do not sell guest lists, and there is no paid tier holding anything back.

Do wedding guests need an account?

No, and there is no way for them to make one. A guest opens the link in their email or scans the QR code on their invitation, and that link is the credential — it covers their whole household.

What happens to our planning if we change the wedding date?

Put the new date into Wedding details and every one of the 33 milestones is recalculated from it, because each is stored as a distance from the day rather than as a fixed date.

How are guests' allergies looked after?

They are held separately from the rest of the guest list, with tighter rules about who can read them: you and any planner you have invited, and nobody else — not other guests, not even others in the same household. Under UK law an allergy is health information, and some diets reveal religion.

Can we use it after the wedding?

Yes. Nothing is deleted when the date passes, your site stays up until you take it down, and you can take your guest list with you whenever you want it.

Still need a hand?

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Write to us and tell us what you were trying to do. We read everything ourselves and answer as quickly as we can — and if it is about a particular wedding, the address of the site helps.
