Places and directions

The Places & directions section lists the venue, the church, parking, shuttle, restaurants and hotels of the day, with times, phone numbers, map links and booking links.

Party and event websites only.

Guests ask the same questions every time: where is the ceremony, where do I park, is there a bus, where can I stay? The Places & directions section answers them. It has three designs — Cards, List and Map Left — and the same content in all three. An accommodation page is a Places & directions section with hotel cards.

Add the section

  1. In the Sections tab, click + Add Section, choose Places & directions and a design.

    Add Section: Places & directions (1) and its three designs (2)
    Add Section: Places & directions (1) and its three designs (2)
  2. In the Editor tab, fill in the Title and an Intro text (both optional) and click Add a place.

    The Places editor: Show a map (1), Kind of place (2) and Use the venue's details (3)
    The Places editor: Show a map (1), Kind of place (2) and Use the venue's details (3)
  3. Pick the Kind of place: venue, church, parking, station, shuttle, restaurant, hotel, guesthouse, apartments or other place. The kind decides the pictogram and the label.

Move a place up or down and remove it with the small buttons at the top of its box.

What a place can say

  • Use the venue's details — takes the name, address, location and phone from your venue, in one click. You can still type a name of your own.
  • Name, Address, Latitude and Longitude, Phone. With a location the map shows the exact spot; without one it searches for the address. The phone is shown and dialled the same way everywhere in the app.
  • Map link — leave it empty and "Open in maps" is made from the location or the address.
  • Time — for example the ceremony or a departure. Guests see it on their language's clock (2:30 PM in English, 14:30 in Croatian and German).
  • Distance or travel time and Directions and notes — a few lines; line breaks are kept.
  • Photo — a picture of the place.
  • For a hotel, guesthouse or apartments: a Booking link, a Price note ("from 65 EUR per night, breakfast included"), a Booking code and What the code gives.

Every text has a box for each language of your website, like the other sections. A language you leave empty shows the English text, never nothing.

The map

The Show a map switch puts a map of the first place that has an address or a location on the page (the Map Left design makes it the main part). Switch it off if you do not want a map.

Good to know

On a closed party the section starts for signed-in guests only, so the address and the phone numbers are not shown to strangers. See Who sees a page or a section.
