Make an online invitation with replies

An invitation page for a birthday, party or any event: date and time, the place with a map link, the programme, notes on dress code or gifts, and replies. Guests add it to their calendar in one tap and say whether they come; you see every reply in your list.

You're invited to my birthday!

Everything guests need to know, on one page

A message in a chat gets lost under a hundred others. An invitation page keeps the date, the time, the address and the plan in one place that guests can open again on the day. Write the name of the event, a few warm words and add a cover picture if you like.

Add the place with a link to any map, the programme from welcome to cake, and what guests should know: dress code, gifts, parking or what to bring. Times are written in the event's time zone, so guests from other cities see where they apply.

Guests save the event to Google Calendar or any calendar app in one tap and answer I'll come, Maybe or Can't make it, with how many people they bring and a note. Their replies appear under the invitation in your list.

How to make an online invitation

Fill in the details, then sign in to get the link.

  1. Write the event name and the invitation text, and add a cover picture.

  2. Set the start, an end if you like, and the time zone. Add the place, its address and a map link, then the programme and notes.

  3. Choose whether guests reply, who may reply and whether they can bring someone. Sign in, create the link and send it.

What it does

The invitation, the plan and the replies together.

  • Date, start and end time in the event's time zone
  • Place, address and a link to any map
  • A programme with times
  • Notes on dress code, gifts or parking
  • Add to Google Calendar or download a calendar file
  • Replies: coming, maybe or not, with plus-ones and a note
  • Replies by name or from signed-in guests only
  • Your own cover picture, background and colours

Where people use it

Any gathering that needs a date, a place and a headcount.

A birthday party at a café, with the map link and a programme from welcome to cake.

A child's party, where parents reply and say how many siblings come along.

A team picnic with the meeting point and a list of what to bring.

A wedding afterparty for friends, with the dress code and the taxi number.

A board game night at home, with the door code in the notes.

A reunion of classmates, collecting replies before booking a table.

How replies work

Each guest replies once and can change their answer later from the same device or account; a new answer replaces the old one. The host sees all replies with names, the answer, the number of people they bring and the note, and the total of people coming.

Replies are stored on the server, not in the page, so guests do not see each other's answers. With signed-in replies only, each answer belongs to a Roliq account; otherwise guests are recognised by a random code in their browser.

Good to know

You need an account to create an invitation, so you can edit or delete it later. Your invitation stays in this browser while you sign in.

Pictures can be JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 2 MB, and links must start with https. Roliq does not send reminders; guests can add the event to their own calendar.

Invitation pages are not shown in search results. Anyone with the link can open the page, so share a door code or a phone number only if that suits you.

Tips

  • Put the most useful detail first: what time doors open, not the time dinner starts.
  • Paste a map link from the app your guests use, so the pin opens where they expect.
  • Change the details at any time; the link stays the same for everyone.

Invitation questions

Do guests need an account to reply?

Not by default: they type their name. You can allow replies from signed-in guests only.

Can a guest change their reply?

Yes. Answering again from the same device or account replaces the earlier reply.

Where do I see the replies?

Under the invitation in your list of invitations, with the total of people coming.

Can guests add it to their calendar?

Yes, to Google Calendar in one tap, or as a file for Apple, Outlook and other calendars.

Can I change the date after sending the link?

Yes. Edit the invitation; the link stays the same and shows the new date.

Is the invitation free?

No. Making invitations and links is free; you only need an account.
