My host for Saturday hosted a show about 2 years ago and I used the same show on the website and just changed the date. She did not invite everyone on the list and I didn't tell her to delete those people. She got some interesting calls when the computer automatically did the reminder invite!:grumpy:

So be ware if you reuse a show make sure they take people off they don't want to invite.

Thanks for posting!
 
I love this new feature that it sends out the email reminders for the hosts/for us, so we don't have to remember to do it anymore! But, I hadn't thought that it might mess things up if you used an "old show". I guess I've never done that before, but that's not a bad idea if you had a host who used your website and entered 40 - 50 guests on there already. I'll just have to be sure to tell them to edit the guest list accordingly, even if they're not sending them an email invitation, they still need to remove them from the list, right?! :)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are E-Vites causing issues when reusing old shows on my website?

Yes, E-Vites can sometimes cause issues when reusing old shows. If the original show has been modified or if the E-Vite links are outdated, it may lead to broken links or incorrect information being displayed.

How can I troubleshoot E-Vite issues with old shows?

To troubleshoot E-Vite issues, check the links associated with the old shows to ensure they are still active. You can also try creating new E-Vites for the show or updating the existing ones to reflect any changes.

What should I do if my E-Vites are not sending correctly?

If your E-Vites are not sending correctly, verify that the email addresses entered are correct and that there are no issues with your email service provider. Additionally, check your spam or junk folder to ensure the E-Vites are not being filtered out.

Can I edit an old show after sending E-Vites?

Yes, you can edit an old show after sending E-Vites. However, be aware that changes may not be reflected in the E-Vites already sent, so it's a good idea to notify your guests of any updates.

Is there a way to prevent E-Vite issues when reusing shows?

To prevent E-Vite issues when reusing shows, consider creating a new show with updated information and E-Vites. This ensures that all links and details are current, reducing the likelihood of confusion for your guests.
