Bidden

Digital invitations for event planners.

One link per event, and guests reply on their phones. Ready-made invitations start at $80 an event.

How it works

Bidden is a personalized digital invitation service for events. Every invitation is designed for phones. One link opens a page with an opening video, the event details, the schedule and a reply form. The samples here show a still image where the video plays. The design is customizable, from a themed kit to a fully branded version with its own logo, colors and fonts.

  1. 1

    Choose

    Pick a kit from the showcase, or ask for one in your own brand.

  2. 2

    Send the details

    Names, dates, venue, schedule and photos. We build the invitation from them.

  3. 3

    Share the link

    Your client sends one link by text, email or any chat app. Guests open it on their phone.

  4. 4

    Collect the answers

    Guests reply on the invitation itself. When replies close, we email you the list as a spreadsheet. Branded planners can also check replies as they come in.

RSVP

One yes or no for each day

A weekend wedding needs a separate answer for every day, so each day on the invitation has its own yes or no. A guest who skips Friday can still come on Saturday.

Guests choose a meal and say whether they're bringing a plus-one. They don't need an account. Tell us when replies should close, and we email you the list once they do.

The two plans

Ready-made

A themed kit, filled in with your client's details.

From $80 an event.

  • Names, date, venue, schedule, text and photo
  • The opening video that comes with the kit
  • A hosted link that works on phone and desktop
  • RSVP with yes or no, meal choice and plus-one
  • The answers emailed to you as a spreadsheet when replies close
  • One round of changes
  • A small "by Bidden" credit on the page

Branded

Your name on every invitation, not ours.

$900 one-time setup, then from $140 an event.

  • Your logo, colors and fonts on one kit
  • Up to four custom icons
  • An address of your own, such as yourname.bidden.events, used for every event you run
  • A private workspace where you approve drafts, message us and download guest replies
  • No promotional Bidden branding. The Privacy page identifies Bidden as the service provider.
  • Everything in Ready-made, with two rounds of changes per event

Q&A

Do you send the invitations?

No. The invitation is a link. You or your client shares it by text, email or any chat app.

What counts as a round of changes?

A batch of simple edits, such as new wording or a different picture from the kit. A new design is quoted separately.

Can you make something fully custom?

Yes. Custom art and video are quoted separately.

How many guests can answer?

An invitation without RSVP has no guest limit. With RSVP, the price follows the number of guests, up to 1,000.

Do guests need an account?

No. They open the link and answer.

Do guests get emails from you?

Yes, after they reply: a thank-you, a reminder before the event, and a notice if the plan changes. Every plan includes them.

How long does a link stay live?

For up to a week after the event. We keep guests' replies for one year after that, then delete them.

How fast do I get my invitation?

We send the link for approval within 3 business days for a Ready-made invitation and within 10 business days for a Branded design, counted from when we have everything we need. A round of changes takes 3 business days. The link goes live on a date we agree with you, once we have the required materials, your approval and payment.

What if I cancel, move the event, or you can't deliver?

Cancel before we start building and we refund the event fee. After that it isn't refundable. A new date counts as one round of changes, and the link then works until a week after it. If we miss the agreed launch date despite you meeting the agreed deadlines for materials, approval and payment, we refund the event fee in full. The Terms explain when the Branded setup fee is also refundable.

Who answers my client's guests?

You do. We answer your questions.

Who owns the art?

Bidden owns the art we make. You can use it in the invitations we make for you while we work together. Your logo, brand, photos and text stay yours. If you stop working with us, we stop using them once your paid invitations have ended.
