Using VIPs and Hard No's

Lock in your non-negotiables — the must-haves and the absolutely-nots.

Some decisions are non-negotiable. VIPs and Hard No's let you lock those in before the algorithm even runs.


⭐ VIP Status

Mark someone as a VIP when they MUST be at your wedding, no matter what.

  • Immediate family members
  • Best friends in the wedding party
  • Anyone whose absence would be unthinkable

How it works: VIPs always appear at the top of your final list, regardless of their calculated scores. They're guaranteed a spot.


🚫 Hard No Status

Mark someone as a Hard No when they absolutely should NOT be invited.

  • Toxic family members you've cut contact with
  • Exes (yours or your partner's)
  • Anyone who would cause drama or stress

How it works: Hard No's are excluded from the final list and don't affect your guest count calculations.
