Switch on the Map section

The Map section sits in the editor, just after the venue details. Switch it on and the card shows a map that opens directly in the guest's phone navigation app when they tap it.

This is the part guests use most on the wedding day itself, so it is worth setting up.

Switch on Map so guests can open directions.

Enter the address accurately

Use the venue's proper name plus the full address rather than just the street. The map searches for exactly what you type, so a precise address means fewer lost guests.

Watch the ambiguous cases: restaurants with several branches under one name, hotels with several halls, and outdoor venues with more than one entrance. If your venue has its own hall name, add it to the venue field.

When you are done, open the preview and tap the map on a phone. That is the only way to be certain it points at the right place.

Choose how you want to receive gifts

The gift details section is where you pick how to receive money. Which options appear depends on your country.

In Vietnam the familiar choice is VietQR: enter your bank and account number and the QR code is generated for guests to scan. There is also plain bank transfer, plus international options such as PayPal, Wise, Revolut, SEPA, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App and LINE Pay.

Pick how you receive gifts in this section.

Or upload your own QR image

If you already have a QR image from your banking app or e-wallet, choose the upload-QR tile in the method picker and upload it.

This suits you when your bank is not in the list, or when you would rather use the exact QR code you already know works.

Tap this tile to upload your own QR image.

Rename the Groom / Bride line on a gift box

Each gift box has a line above it, which says Groom or Bride depending on whose box it is. To say something else, like the groom's family or a name, tap the pencil on that box, choose Custom, and type what you want.

Leave that field empty and the card goes back to the built-in word, so it is safe to experiment.

One thing that catches people out: the family role you set in Basic info (eldest daughter, youngest son) only changes how the couple is introduced in the invitation. It does not change the line on a gift box. The two are separate.

Check it carefully before publishing

Read the account name and account number back one character at a time. One wrong digit sends your guests' money to a stranger, and it is the hardest mistake to fix once the invitation is out.

If you uploaded your own QR image, ask someone to scan it with their banking app and confirm it shows the right name and account.
