Learn how to add a check-in link to your navigation menu that allows guests to identify themselves and access personalized content.
​

Want guests to easily access personalized content? You can add a check-in link to your navigation menu! This lets guests identify themselves and see content specific to them.
​

Adds a check-in link to your navigation menu.
​

Lets guests identify themselves. They enter their first and last name, or their email address if your RSVP is set to find guests by email.
​

Shows personalized content. Guests see info specific to them (like which events they're invited to).
​

Displays a greeting. Shows guest names after they check in.
​

Multiple customizable texts. Control what guests see at each step.
​

This feature requires:
​

A paid plan with RSVP features. Standard or Pro plan.
​

If you're on the Basic plan, you'll see a message to upgrade instead of the toggle.
​

A check-in link now appears in your navigation menu!
​

After enabling the toggle, you can customize:
​

Check in text:
- Default: "Check in"
- What guests see before checking in
- Examples: "Guest Login", "Sign In", "Check In Here"
​

Checked in greeting:
- Default: "Hello,"
- Greeting shown before the guest's name after they check in
- On by default; untick the checkbox to show only the guest's name
- Examples: "Welcome,", "Hi,", "Hey there,"
​

Log out text:
- Default: "Not you?"
- Link on the check-in page to log out if the wrong guest checked in
- Examples: "Log out", "Wrong person?", "Switch guest"
​

Back to site text:
- Default: "Go back to site"
- Link to return to the main site from check-in page
- Examples: "Return to site", "Back", "Go back"
​

After checking in, the menu changes for that guest:
​

Instead of "Check in": Shows their greeting and full name ("Hello, Emily Rodriguez")
​

Log out option: Clicking their name opens the check-in page, where the "Not you?" link appears
​

Personalized experience: They see content specific to them
​

This happens automatically once they check in!
​

Guest authentication (in Site settings → General tab):
- Controls if the ENTIRE site requires check-in
- Guests must check in to see any content
​

Check-in menu button (this feature):
- Adds a convenience link to check in
- Unlocks personalized/private content
- Site might be public, but personalization requires check-in
​

They work together but serve different purposes!
​

Keep your text:
​

Short and clear. Menu space is limited.
​

Action-oriented. "Check in" is better than "Click here to check in"
​

On-brand. Match your wedding's tone (formal vs. casual)
​

Obvious. Guests should understand what happens when they click
​

The greeting appears after the guest checks in:
​

"Hello, Emily" - Warm and friendly
​

"Welcome, John" - Formal greeting
​

"Hey, Sarah" - Casual vibe
​

Choose what feels right for your wedding style!
​

The Log out text link lets guests log out if:
​

Wrong person checked in - Family member used their device
​

Want to check in as someone else - Testing or household with multiple guests
​

Privacy concerns - On a shared device
​

Default "Not you?" is friendly and clear!
​

The Back to site text link appears on the check-in page itself, letting guests return to the main site if they change their mind or after checking in.
​

This is helpful if guests accidentally click the check-in button!
​

The check-in link appears near the end of your navigation menu, after your page links, custom links, and language links. If you've also turned on the RSVP button, the check-in link sits directly before it.
​

The link opens the check-in page in a new browser tab.
​

To remove the check-in link from your menu:
​

The link disappears from your navigation!
​

With required authentication ON:
- Guests MUST check in to see your site
- Check-in menu button is less important (they're forced to check in anyway)
​

With required authentication OFF:
- Guests can browse without checking in
- Check-in menu button lets them unlock personalized features
- Optional but convenient
​

Consider whether you need both or just one!
​

After enabling:
​

The check-in link appears in mobile menus too! On phones, your navigation collapses behind a menu button, and the check-in link appears in the menu when guests open it.
​

Make sure it's easy to find and tap on mobile!
​

When guests check in, they can see pages and sections you've made private and set to display to them:
​

All guests (checked in): content for anyone on your guest list
​

Guests in a group: content for one group, like family or the wedding party
​

Guests of an event: content for guests invited to a specific event
​

You can also hide a page or section from a group or from guests of an event. Set this in the Visibility options of a page's Page settings or a section's Visibility tab.
​

Seating and table assignments aren't shown on your website.
​

Once checked in, guests stay logged in on that browser:
​

Return visits: Stay logged in, with no expiry (using a cookie)
​

Different devices or browsers: Need to check in again
​

Clear cookies: Need to check in again
​

Click "Not you?": Logs them out
​

Most guests only need to check in once!
​

After your wedding, you probably want to:
​

The link is easy to turn off when you don't need it anymore!
​

You can have both check-in and RSVP buttons in your menu:
​

Check in: For personalization and accessing private content
​

RSVP: For responding to your invitation
​

They serve different purposes and work well together!
​

Enabling the check-in menu button makes it easy for guests to unlock personalized content and get the full experience of your wedding website!
