Print each guest's name on the reception card
Upload your reception card once as a PDF or picture in Rapid Sender, place a name box where the guest's name should go, and every guest receives their own card with their name on it. English, Hindi and Gujarati fonts are included.
If your wedding card is one PDF with pages for the wedding and the reception, you can send the reception page only to guests who are invited to the reception, using a column in your sheet.

Tips
Send reception invitations 2 weeks before, and a reminder on the morning of the reception.
Mention the start time and whether dinner is served, so guests do not come too late or too early.
For colleagues, a personal message in office chat or email along with the card is polite.
Share a location pin and parking details for large venues.
Frequently asked questions
Can I invite colleagues only to the reception?
Yes, that is very common. Keep them in a separate list and use the colleague templates above. Rapid Sender sends each one a personal message from your number.
When should I send a reception invitation?
About 2 weeks before. If the reception is in a different city from the wedding, send it 3 to 4 weeks ahead.
