Merge tags provide the ability to automatically merge invitee-specific details into the body of an email. For groups and families, there are a few unique ways you can address emails to outline who's included in the invitation.
List All Guests In Group (First Names)
{all_guests}
The list of all guests in a group merge tag will merge in the first names of each guest in a group. Here are a few examples of how this will look for different types of invitee groups:
Guests in Group | Merge Tag Result |
Jane Doe; John Doe | Jane and John |
Jane Doe; John Doe; Jimmy Doe | Jane, John, and Jimmy |
Jane Doe; +1 | Jane and guest |
Jane Doe; +2 | Jane and up to 2 guests |
List All Guests In Group (First Names + Last Name)
{all_guests} {last_name}
If you don't have any groups with unnamed guests (or can exclude those from your email audience), you can use a combination of the list of all guests in a group and last names.
Note: The last name will be pulled from the guest associated with the email being received.
Guests in Group | Merge Tag Result |
Jane Doe; John Doe | Jane and John Doe |
Jane Doe; John Doe; Jimmy Doe | Jane, John, and Jimmy Doe |
The "Last Name" Family
The {last_name} Family
Use only the last name merge field to greet the family -- the guest associated with the email will be the name that is pulled (for reference in situations where 1 family may have unique last names).
Guests in Group | Merge Tag Result |
Jane Doe; John Doe | The Doe Family |
Traditional Name with Titles
{title} {first_name} {last_name}
Traditional invitations may be formatted with the head of household's name listed - in this case, you will need to make sure to set up your guest list accordingly:
Including both titles in one title field
List the head of household first and with the associated email
⭐️ We'd suggest disabling titles in the RSVP form if you are using this setup.
Guests in Group | Merge Tag Result |
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe; Jane Doe | Mr. and Mrs. John Doe |
