I accidentally included 'www' on my paper invitations. What can I do?

Don't put 'www.' in front of your RSVPify event URL on printed invitations. Here's why it breaks, and what to do if it's already printed.

If you're printing your RSVPify event URL on physical invitations, be sure not to include a "www." in front of it.

What happens if I include a "www."?

On modern browsers, most guests will see a security error page. They can technically continue, but most will give up (and may call you to complain).

Why does a "www." cause an error?

In short, your event URL is already a subdomain (anything.rsvpify.com). Adding a "www." in front of it (www.yourevent.rsvpify.com) creates two subdomains. Security certificates, which tell browsers a site is safe to interact with, usually can't be applied to a URL with two subdomains, so the browser shows a warning instead.

What to do if "www." is already on your invitations

  1. If you have your invitees' email addresses, use RSVPify's email suite to send a quick note with the correct URL (https://yourevent.rsvpify.com).

  2. Request a redirect. Our engineers can redirect guests who type a "www." in front of your URL to the correct one. Because this takes engineering time, a non-refundable $50 fee applies. To request one, chat with us.
