Collecting guest contact details.

Our Contact Collector allows guests to add their details directly to your guest list by following a link shared across platforms such as Email, Text, WhatsApp or Messenger.


Contact Collector is free to use and available before you pay to activate your account.

After following the link, guests are asked to enter their first and last name. If they’re on your guest list, we’ll invite them to share their email address, phone number and, if requested by you, their postal address.

Note: Guests must be on your guest list in order to access Gather.
