Change Host Name on Invitation

Changing the host name on your Invitation

Where does my host name come from? By default, it pulls from the name saved in your Evite account profile. If that name isn't what you want guests to see, you have a couple of ways to change it.

How do I update my account profile name? Do this before creating your Invitation draft so the correct name carries over automatically.

1. Log in to your Evite account.

2. Click your initials in the top right corner.

3. Go to Account Settings → Profile.

4. Click Edit My Profile, make your changes, and select Save.

How do I change the host name on a specific Invitation? You can enter a different name in the Hosted By field without changing your account profile — useful if you're hosting under a different name for one event.

1. Go to your Manage Event page.

2. Select Edit Event and scroll down and click Edit by Host Details.

3. Edit the name in the Hosted By field.

4. Click Done to save.

What guests see is whatever you've entered in the Host Display Name field. If you also typed your name directly into the invitation design, you'll need to update that text box separately.

How do I update the host name on the guest list?

1. Log in and go to My Events.

2. Find your event and click Manage Event.

3. Open View Guest List.

4. Click your name on the guest list.

5. Make your changes and click Save.

What if I want to add another host and give them admin access? That's the co-host feature — it lets you add someone else to help manage the event. You can find instructions for adding a co-host here.
