How much does this service cost?
It is up to you to decide how much to pay and when!
The creation and management of the Gift List and the Website of the event is free. Therefore, you can make as many attempts as you wish. You pay according to the period during which you want to activate the “Gift receiving” and the “RSVP receiving” at a cost of 1€ per day. Normally, it starts from the announcements/invitations sending process up to one or two days after the event.
Once all has been done, you can activate the service by freely choosing the activation starting and ending date. The payment is in advance and estimated on the number of the days you select. (e.g. 30 days = 30€).

- If required, it is also possible to extend the period to a later time by paying the amount corresponding to the added days.
After the activation deadline it will NOT possible to receive Gifts and RSVP anymore (they would be useless, after all). The Website will still be active online with the information as long as you wish. You will have the chance to use it for free, for example, to show and/or receive photos of your event or as an online souvenir.
After the service activation, can I keep on editing my Giftlist and Website?
