Floryn

How to use Floryn

Last updated 3 October 2026

Floryn turns a set of wedding details into a single link that opens as a finished invitation on a phone. There is no app and nothing to install. You do not create an account; instead, you receive login credentials (a slug and secret) that let you manage your invitation later. This page is the whole process, in order.

1. Make the invitation

Open the builder and fill in the form. Only the two names and the date are required. Everything else is optional, and an invitation with just names and a date is a perfectly good invitation.

1. The two names. Shown on the card as written, and used to build the link.
2. The date. Drives the countdown on the card. Past dates are refused, because a countdown into the past is not something anyone wants to send.
3. The time. Free text is rejected here, because a mistyped time blanks the date on the card. Use something like 4:30 PM or 16:30.
4. The venue. Name, address, and a map link. For the map, open the venue in Google Maps, tap Share → Copy link, and paste that. Floryn keeps the place link and strips the click-tracking parameters off it, so a tap lands on the venue rather than on a map search.
5. A message and a color theme. Both optional.
6. The human check. A quick bot check runs above the create button; the button stays disabled until it passes, so if it looks dimmed, give it a moment rather than clicking harder.

2. Send it to your guests

The link is the invitation. Anyone who has it can read the card, and there is no password on it — that is deliberate, because a wedding invitation nobody has to knock for is the entire point.

It works in any modern browser and needs nothing installed, so it can go into a WhatsApp message, a group chat, an email or a text message. Where a guest opens it does not matter; the card is built for a phone first and widens from there.

One thing to know before you send: the link is not secret in any technical sense. Anyone who receives it can pass it on, and several messaging apps will generate their own preview of the card. Treat it as the thing you would hand out at a door, and nothing more.

3. Personalize a link per guest

If you would rather the card said "Dear Nimala," than nothing at all, sign in to your dashboard and type your guest names into the box, one per line. Floryn writes a separate link for each one, and you can copy them individually or copy the lot at once.

The name is used in two places and nowhere else. The opening reads "Hi Nimala…" and the card reads "Dear Nimala,". It is not a login, it does not let anybody see anything the plain link does not, and a guest with a personalized link sees exactly what every other guest sees.

A long name is shortened in the opening and left whole on the card, so the opening keeps to one line. Duplicate names in the list each get their own link.

The names are saved with your invitation, so the list is still there when you sign in from another device. A copy also stays in your own browser. The names do not follow the link to your guests' devices: each guest's link carries only their own name. The list holds at most 200 guests: paste more than fits and the button locks until you trim the list down.

Links are usually forwarded inside a few words of your own, so above the guest links sits a Guest message box. Type it once and every copy carries it: a single copy pastes the message with its link, and copying everything pastes each guest numbered with their own pair. Put {inviteURL} where the link should land, otherwise it goes under the words. The box comes prefilled, is saved with the invitation, and empty means links copy alone.

4. Collect RSVPs

Guests tap the RSVP buttons on the card to respond: Yes, Maybe, or Sorry. Their response is saved immediately and you see it on your dashboard.

Sign in to your dashboard to see who has responded and what they said. Each guest's name shows their response status. You can remove a guest at any time, and they will see the general invitation instead of their personalized one if they open the link again.

RSVP responses are tracked per guest link. If you send the general link with no guest name, any responses are collected but not tied to a name.

5. Sign in to manage it later

Floryn is where you come back to: to read the link again, to make guest links, or to delete the invitation. Open Manage your invitation and sign in with two things you were shown when you made it.

1. Your slug. The last piece of the invitation link, everything after /invite/. If you click your own link, it is visible in the address bar.
2. Your secret. Shown once, on the screen straight after creating the invitation.

Once you are in, you can edit the details, copy the main link, build personalized guest links, and delete the invitation. Signing out clears the session, and the sign-in link at the top of the site always brings you back here.

The session lasts seven days, so you will not be signing in daily. It is tied to the browser you signed in on — signing in on your phone does not sign you in on your laptop.

6. Delete it

Your dashboard has a Delete this invitation button. It asks once, and then it is done: the link and every guest link made from it stop working immediately.

Deletion is permanent. There is no undo, no recycle bin and no backup we could restore from. If you delete by mistake you have to make a new invitation, and it will have a new slug and secret.

You do not have to sign in to delete. Every invitation is also swept automatically 90 days after it was created. If you would rather a stranger deleted it for you, write to us with the link — see the privacy policy for how.

Common questions

Can guests RSVP on the invitation?

Yes. Guests tap the RSVP buttons on the card to respond: Yes, Maybe, or Sorry. Their response appears on your dashboard immediately, and you can see all responses organized by guest.

How do I see RSVP responses?

Sign in to your dashboard and you will see each guest’s RSVP status next to their name. Responses are updated in real time as guests reply.

What do I need to make a Floryn invitation?

The two names, a date, and whatever else you want on the card. There is no email address to confirm and no password to choose. You fill in a form, you get a link and login credentials (a slug and secret), and you send the link to your guests. Keep the credentials safe if you want to manage the invitation later.

Where is my invitation link?

It is on the screen straight after you create it, and the builder can copy it for you. If you close that screen, open the Manage link at the top of the site, sign in with your slug and secret, and your link is on your dashboard.

What is my slug?

The slug is the last piece of your invitation link, everything after /invite/. Floryn builds it from the couple's initials with a short random suffix, so it usually looks like an-k3m.

Can I change the details after I have sent the link?

Yes. Sign in from /manage with your slug and secret, then choose Edit. The invitation keeps the same link, so everyone you have already sent it to still opens it and your guest list is untouched. The sign-in is what proves it is you, which is why the link on its own could never have been enough to edit. Anyone who opens the link after the change sees the new details, guests who have already opened it included.

I lost my secret. Can I get it back?

No. Floryn stores only a one-way hash of your secret, never the secret itself, so there is nothing to look up and nobody, including us, can recover it. Make a new invitation and you will have a new slug and secret.

I forgot my slug as well as my secret. What now?

Your invitation may still be perfectly readable by anyone holding the link — the link is the invitation, not a login. To take it down, write to us with the link itself and we will delete it. If you kept the link, sign in as normal and use the Delete button on your dashboard.

How long does an invitation last?

Every invitation is permanently deleted automatically 90 days after it was created. The date of the wedding is irrelevant to this. A link older than 90 days stops working, so do not send an invitation months in advance of the day. Each invitation can have up to 200 guests.

Can I use my own photo?

You can, by pasting a link to an image that is already on the internet. Floryn does not host photographs for you, so the image is fetched from wherever you pointed at, and you need to be sure that host allows it and will still be there on the day.

Does the guest have to create an account or install anything?

No. A guest opens the link, the invitation opens in their browser, and that is the whole of it. No sign-up, no app, no login, nothing to download.

What happens if I try to sign in too many times?

After ten attempts the page stops checking for an hour. It is there to stop somebody trying one guess after another on a link they already have. The wait applies even when your details are right, so if you are locked out it is faster to wait than to keep trying.

Still stuck?

Write to [email protected] with the slug from your invitation link in the subject line. It is the only identifier Floryn holds, because it holds no email address of yours and cannot look one up.

The terms of use set out what Floryn does and does not promise, which is worth a read if you are about to rely on it for something important.
