Reminders

At PartyLabz, we know how important it is to keep your guests in the loop. That's why we have created a useful feature called Reminders. With reminders, you can send helpful alerts to your guests about RSVPs, event details, polls, and more!

Create and Customize Reminders

Creating reminders on PartyLabz is super easy. You can create as many reminders as your event plan allows:

• Free Plan: Allows up to 3 reminders.
• Paid Plans: Allow more, depending on the plan details.

Types of Reminders

Below are the types of reminders you can create on PartyLabz:

• Remind to RSVP: This reminder will be sent to guests who haven't RSVP'd after you've invited them using PartyLabz invitation capabilities.
• Remind About the Event: This reminder is perfect for sending to guests who have already RSVP'd. It keeps them excited and informed about the event.
• Remind to Answer Polls or Sign Up for Activities: Automatically generated when you add polls or signup list pages, this reminder is sent to RSVP'd guests who haven't responded to polls or signed up for activities.

Setting Up Reminders

When you set up a reminder, you have three key components to fill out:

• Type: Choose from the three types mentioned above.
• Schedule: You can select a specific number of days before the event for the reminder to be sent. Alternatively, make it a recurrent reminder that will be sent throughout a given date range at intervals you specify (in days).
• Tab: Some reminders (polls/signup list) let you select a specific tab they will remind about. This is useful when you have multiple tabs - for example, a gift ideas tab that doesn't need reminders and a potluck signup tab that does. You can create separate reminders for each tab that requires them.
• Description: This field is for your own notes and will not be sent to guests.

A helpful tip: While the description is just for you, the schedule is critical as it informs the system when to send out the reminders. Always check to ensure your dates and intervals are correct.

Custom Messages

PartyLabz also allows you to customize the reminder messages. Each type of reminder has a default message, but you can change the text to suit your needs on the "Custom Messages" page. This means any reminder of the same type will use the new text you provide. This feature may not be available on some plans.

Email Or Text Messages Reminders

PartyLabz supports both email and text message reminders. For guests who have both email and phone number, reminders will be sent via email only. Text message reminders are currently available only for guests in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia.

Limits and Plans

The number of emails and text messages sent for reminders count towards your plan's available messaging limits. If you run out of either emails or text messages, those reminders will not be sent. Here's how you can manage your messaging effectively:

• Track Message Usage: Keep an eye on both your email and text message quotas so that you don't run out. You can check your usage on the "Dashboard" page by clicking on the "view addons & usage" next to the event plan name.
• Upgrade Plans: Consider upgrading to a higher plan if you expect to send a lot of reminders.

Making Reminders Work for You

Okay, let’s see how you can make the most out of these reminders.

• Keep Guests Active: A well-timed Remind to Answer Polls or Sign Up for Activities can keep your guests engaged and excited about the event.
• Boost Your RSVP List: If you're waiting for responses, set up a Remind to RSVP to nudge those who haven’t RSVP’d yet.
• Final Details: Use Remind About the Event to share last-minute information like dress codes, schedules, or any changes in venue.

In Conclusion

PartyLabz Reminders feature is designed to make event planning smoother and ensure no one misses out on the details. With customizable schedules and messages, you have all the control you need to keep your event running smoothly. Just remember that reminders work only via email, and the number sent will count towards your available emails. Create your reminders, sit back, and let PartyLabz handle the rest!

So, get started, and make your next event the best one yet with PartyLabz reminders!
