LumiWed Changelog

What's new — August 2, 2026 #

This week's LumiWed product updates.

New

• Your assistant can fill your guest list. Paste a guest list or CSV into your AI assistant and it can add everyone to your wedding — names, emails and languages included. Re-running it never creates duplicates, and invitations still only go out when you send them.

• Wedding sites built by your AI assistant. If an assistant set up your wedding site for you, you now get a page showing exactly what it built — events, guests, story sections, languages — before you take it over. Nothing is public until you publish.

Add Cloud Agent env bootstrap: Resend, Infisical, Clerk, Sentry, PostHog CLIs (+ Supabase/Wrangler/Stripe/Terraform).

• Tidier content editor — sections you've already filled in now collapse automatically, so you can focus on what's still missing. Expand any section again whenever you want to double-check or edit it.

type: new

Guests pick their dietary needs from tappable options — vegetarian, nut allergy, halal and ten more — instead of typing them out on a phone. The couple's export always reads the same way regardless of which language the guest answered in, and there's still a free-text box for anything the list doesn't cover.

• Edit a guest's dietary needs yourself — when a guest tells you about an allergy over the phone or at dinner, you can now record it on their guest card instead of asking them to reopen their invitation link. Pick from the same tags they see, or type anything the tags don't cover. The guest can still change it themselves.

• Your language, confirmed — the first time you sign in, we ask which language you'd like LumiWed in. Pick it once and everything follows; change it later in Settings → Profile.

• A guide for every language combination — Polish and German, Croatian and Italian, Romanian and Dutch, and every other pairing of the languages we support now has its own page. Whichever two languages your families speak, there is a page that speaks to it.

• Date and time format at sign-in — the first time you sign in, we now ask how you like dates and times shown (day/month/year or month/day/year, 24-hour or 12-hour clock), and use it everywhere in your dashboard. Change it anytime in Settings.

• Personal messages from our team — when we have something just for you (a heads-up, a thank-you, or a little discount), it now appears right in your dashboard until you dismiss it, and you can reply straight into support chat.

• Plus-one dietary needs — guests can now share dietary needs for anyone they're bringing along, not just themselves. Each plus-one gets their own pick-list, right next to their name.

Added ops script + GitHub Action to requeue failed guest invites for one wedding at high priority (one-shot via ops/one-shots/requeue-failed-guest-invites.json).

type: new

Couples can now choose to only count an RSVP as complete once the required questions are answered — a new setting beside the respond-by date. Guests can always send their yes first; this just decides whether you chase them for the rest. Guests see how many answers are still outstanding and jump straight to them.

• RSVP details order — choose the order guests see events, dietary needs, extra questions, and contact sharing on the RSVP form, from Settings.

• RSVP notifications on Telegram — connect Telegram from Settings → Profile and get an instant message the moment a guest replies. No phone number needed, and it's free. If you'd rather use text messages, adding a phone number still works as a fallback.

• Turkish is now available — publish your wedding site, invitations, emails and dashboard in Turkish, alongside English, German, Dutch and the rest. Guests get every detail in their own language, and you can mix Turkish with any of the other 16.

• Claim your own wedding link — right after you publish, you can now upgrade to Premium in one tap for a custom yournames.lumiwed.com address, more guest languages, and a full year online.

Improved

• Bringing someone? — guests are now always asked, and anyone they bring has to be named. Your list shows who is coming instead of a headcount, and you can tell "not bringing anyone" apart from "hasn't replied yet".

• Place your photos exactly right — the photo editor now has one-tap buttons to snap the crop frame fully to the top, bottom, left, or right, so a face near an edge never gets cut off. The editing view is bigger too, making it easier to line things up on your phone.

• A sharper site icon everywhere — the little icon you upload for your site now looks crisp in browser tabs, and shows up properly when a guest saves your site to their phone's home screen.

type: improved

The guest export now includes each guest's message to you and when they responded. Both were already collected but never made it into the file — notes stay in the export even when a guest declines.

type: improved

Guests can change the language from the top of their invite page, and the choice sticks. Before, the only way to fix a wrong language was a small link at the very bottom — hard to find when you can't read the page.

• One place for everything — the separate guest settings page is gone. Language lives in the cog inside the RSVP window, and dietary needs and contact details sit with the rest of your answer.

• More detail in your recent RSVPs — the dashboard overview now shows each guest's plus-one and dietary notes, plus a quick link straight to their guest profile.

• Filter your guest list by side — you can now pick more than one side at once, so it's easy to see, say, your side plus everyone still unassigned in a single view.

• Guestbook & inbox notes — comments now show who wrote them with a photo initial, a clear "Couple" tag, and friendly times like "just now" (hover for the exact moment). You can edit or delete your own notes, and hosts can reply as themselves.

type: improved

The WhatsApp and Telegram invite message now greets guests by first name and asks them directly to RSVP, with the link reading as the form itself. Previously it used whatever full name was stored — "Dear Robin Testing Privacy" — and only said to open a personal link.

• Content page — the Language section now opens automatically the first time you visit, so it's never missed.

• Easier editing on your phone — the Couple step now uses the full screen width on mobile, so names, emails and countries are quicker to fill in.

• Guest list export — every plus-one now gets their own row, with their own dietary needs, so the list you hand your caterer has one line per person.

• Guest details — each plus-one you have been told about is listed separately, with what they can and cannot eat.

• Language setup — you can now search languages by name, see both translated and native names, and get clearer guidance before locking your free-plan languages.

• Private wedding sites — guests who open their personal invite link now go straight in, no email step. Guests you shared a link with by hand (with no email on file) can get in too.

• Easier to go live — you can now publish your site as soon as your basics and schedule are in, and a friendly reminder on your dashboard nudges you when everything's ready. Picking a theme is now an optional finishing touch, not a step that holds up publishing.

• What does RSVP mean? — the word "RSVP" (or your language's own version, like "SU" or "OSA") is now underlined on your wedding site. Guests can tap or hover it for a quick explanation, in their own language.

type: improved

Choosing "Attending" or "Can't attend" now saves straight away — no Confirm step for the answer itself. If the save fails, the card goes back to what it was and offers to try again, instead of quietly looking answered.

type: improved

Guests now answer their RSVP without leaving the wedding site — the invite link opens the RSVP as a sheet over the couple's page, and closing it leaves the guest exactly where they were. The RSVP section also shows what you already answered and the respond-by date.

type: improved

The RSVP now leads with the question — "Will you attend?" — instead of the guest's own name, and the two answers are full-width cards that no longer squeeze their text into four lines on a phone. They work properly with a screen reader and arrow keys.

• Clearer RSVP wording — the RSVP button, nav link and related prompts on your wedding site now say "Confirm attendance" instead of the acronym "RSVP", so guests who aren't familiar with the term always know where to go and what to do.

• Tidier RSVP form — dietary needs, events, extra questions, and contact details each get their own clearly labeled section.

• Change your language without leaving the RSVP — a settings cog in the top corner of the RSVP window lets guests switch language on the spot, and remembers it for next time.

type: improved

Couples no longer get pinged for an RSVP a guest mis-tapped and fixed seconds later. The notification waits about a minute and reports whatever the guest settled on — one message, not one per change of mind.

• RSVP — your invitation now opens straight into the RSVP, as a full-screen sheet on your phone, styled to match the couple's wedding site.

type: improved

The RSVP no longer has a Confirm button — your answer and every optional detail save themselves as you go, each showing its own tick. Dietary needs, guests, notes and extra questions now sit behind one "optional details" drawer instead of standing between you and the button.

• RSVP notifications — the email you get when a guest responds got a full redesign in LumiWed's warm look, with a clearly structured summary of the response: attendance, per-event choices, plus-ones, dietary needs, and the guest's message. Subjects now read naturally too — "Joel is attending your wedding".

type: improved

After you RSVP, the page now repeats back exactly what was recorded — who is coming with you and any dietary note — instead of a bare thank-you, and returning guests see it straight away. Adding the wedding to Google Calendar is one tap, and you can ask for an email confirmation (or skip it).

• Travel & stay — the travel section now uses the full width of the page on laptops and desktops. Categories sit side by side, and a category with a single card stretches to fill its row instead of leaving half of it empty.

• Guest list, explained — if the couple turns on the guest list, visitors without a personal invite link now see a note telling them how to view it, instead of the section just disappearing.

• Your names in the browser tab — your wedding site now shows your names in the browser tab and in bookmarks, instead of "LumiWed".

Fixed

• Accented headings look right again — headings in Polish, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, and Romanian were dropping letters like ą, ę, ř, and ș into a different, heavier font mid-word. They now match the rest of the text.

• RSVP replies — guests opening their invite link on lumiwed.com can now send their RSVP. Some links quietly failed to save the reply.

• Reliable editing — your couple, content, and design changes now finish saving before you move between setup pages.

• Billing portal — if your premium plan has no payment on file yet, opening the billing portal now shows a friendly note pointing you to support instead of failing silently.

• Approved guest comments now show up right away — they used to be stuck for up to a minute after you approved them.

• Dietary needs show up on the dashboard again — when a guest picked their needs from the tag list instead of typing them, the Recent RSVPs card and the guest activity feed both left the dietary line blank. They now show the tags and the guest's own note together.

• Favicon uploads — you can now use WebP, GIF and AVIF images for your site icon, not just PNG and JPEG.

• Saving in the editor — when a moment, story or question can't be saved yet, we now tell you which field needs fixing instead of doing nothing.

• Photo gallery — the carousel arrows no longer sit there doing nothing: they hide when every photo already fits on screen, and grey out at the first and last photo. Opening a photo full screen now loads the next and previous one ahead of time, so paging through the gallery responds straight away.

• Guest site languages — the RSVP deadline notice, the closed-RSVP message, the comment wall and the site-unavailable screens now appear in your language instead of English.

type: fixed

Guest details open again. Tapping a guest in your list showed "Guest not found" instead of their RSVP, notes and magic link.

• Invite links — personal invite links open again. For a short window today they showed a "not found" page instead of the wedding and RSVP form.

• Guest languages — you can now only pick a guest's language from the languages your site actually offers, and an invite won't send if a guest's language isn't one of them — just update it and resend.

• Guest invite links now open your full wedding site — the "Magic link" card on a guest's detail page was sharing a bare-bones link that skipped your site's photos, schedule, and story. It now opens exactly what your guests see everywhere else.

• Guests can change their RSVP after answering — a guest who already responded now sees a clear button to update their answer instead of a dead end.

• Fixed a dropdown hiding behind the RSVP form — the dietary-preferences picker could render partly behind the RSVP window. It now always shows on top.

• Your site in each guest's language — guests who read a different language than your site's main one now see the whole page in their own language right away, instead of it loading in the wrong language and switching a moment later.

• Your language, everywhere — menus, messages and error screens that were still showing English now appear in your language, on both your wedding site and your dashboard.

• Your hero photo shows on every theme — the picture you upload now appears behind the names on all wedding designs, not only a few of them.

Fix prod invite queue: create invite_send_jobs (version collision left only invite_email_queue), then re-run Ana failed-invite requeue one-shot.

• Reliable translations — publishing your wedding site can translate its content again without being deferred by a missing provider credential.

type: fixed

Guests can cancel after the respond-by date has passed. Previously the deadline blocked every change, so someone who fell ill had no way to withdraw — and the couple kept catering for them. Dietary notes and language stay editable too; only new or larger acceptances are refused.

• Link arrows look the same in every language — the small arrow next to "Book now", "Open in Google Maps" and "Parking directions" was missing in some languages and doubled up in others. It is now one consistent icon everywhere, on your site and in your preview.

• Preview — your hero photo now shows in the preview, the same way guests see it on your site. Preview was always rendering the hero without it.

• Private site unlock — guests who open your private wedding site without their personal link now see the email and invite-code form, so they can unlock it themselves instead of hitting a dead end.

• Private site unlock, in every language — the invite-code unlock screen now shows the right wording in all languages. Guests no longer see leftover text asking for an email that the form doesn't request.

• Your day's programme — the wedding itself no longer shows up as the first item in the programme; it lists only the moments you added. Roman numerals now continue past IV, and the section stays hidden until you add your first moment.

• Preview language — the preview showed your names joined by an English "and" and an English weekday, even on a site in another language. Both now follow your site's language, like your guests already saw.

• Publishing in your language — the publish panel, its checklist, the "your site is live" screen and the translation progress now appear in Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Romanian and Finnish instead of English.

type: fixed

Guest reminders now count back from your RSVP deadline instead of the wedding date. A wedding in September with a July deadline was still sending reminders through August, chasing a form that had already closed.

Requeue stranded queued guest invites (no open job) plus bounced; print latest-status histogram. Re-run Ana one-shot.

• RSVP confirmation emails — a guest with no dietary needs no longer sees a made-up "Vegetarian" line in their confirmation email.

• Your RSVP page — the "RSVP for" line now sits with your name instead of being split by the question.

• RSVP confirmation email — your receipt now lists everyone you are bringing by name, each person's dietary needs on their own line, your message to the couple, and your answers to their questions.

• German emails — now written with proper umlauts.

type: fixed

Couples' RSVP notification emails now actually send. The background job that flushes them was calling an address that belongs to the marketing site, so it silently did nothing and the notifications queued up unsent.

• RSVP page — fixed a glitch that could reset the form while it was loading, and the expired-invitation screen now speaks your language instead of English.

• Clearer RSVP wording — guests who already replied now see "Update response" instead of "Update preferences", so it's obvious how to change an answer.

type: fixed

Retrying a failed RSVP now updates the screen. Before, a successful retry saved the answer but left the guest looking at an unanswered form — so they could walk away thinking it never went through while the couple already had them down as coming.

• RSVP details — changing your language or dietary needs no longer sends the couple a message saying you can't come. Your answer and the date you gave it now stay exactly as you left them.

• Tidied up the RSVP status panel — the space between your status, the deadline, and the update button on the wedding site was uneven. It's now evenly spaced.

• Content editing stays in your language — adding a second language for translation no longer switches your content page away from the language you were editing in.

• Content editor — sections you're actively filling out no longer collapse on their own the moment they become complete. They stay open until you close them.

• Demo content now actually fills in your details — choosing sample content for your ceremony or venue could leave the real fields blank behind the scenes, blocking you from moving on to Design even though the page looked ready. Fixed.

• Welcome banner no longer covers your names on phones — the small "Welcome" message could overlap the couple's names at the top of your site on mobile. Fixed.

• Personal support chat — your support chat now stays available even when personalized identification is temporarily unavailable.

What's new — July 27, 2026 #

This week's LumiWed product updates.

New

• Guest comments — turn on a guestbook in Settings, optionally require approval, and manage notes from Inbox. Guests leave short messages; you can reply or post as the couple. Approvals and Inbox posts can take up to about a minute to show on the live site (edge cache).

• Invite delivery — free plans schedule guest invites as send capacity allows; Premium sends them immediately. You can see scheduled vs sent status on Guests.

• RSVP respond-by date — couples set a deadline in Settings; guests see it on the RSVP page, and new responses close after that day (wedding timezone).

• Hide your wedding site — after you publish, you can temporarily hide the live site from guests while you make changes, then show it again without republishing.

Improved

• Clearer invite delivery — bounced invites show in the guest list, bulk sends stay under Resend’s rate limits, and temporary rate-limit errors are retried automatically.

• Premium upgrade email — your confirmation now greets you by first name, and only includes your partner when they've been invited.

• Privacy mode unlock — guests can open a private wedding site by entering their invite email and invite code, not only by using the personal invite link.

• Private site language switcher — the locked privacy page is translated into your wedding languages, and guests can switch language before unlocking.

Fixed

• Privacy mode tip — the privacy-mode info tooltip now shows in your dashboard language, not only English.

What's new — July 26, 2026 #

This week's LumiWed product updates.

New

• Invite your partner in their language — when you invite your partner to co-manage your wedding, choose the language they'll read. Their invitation email arrives in that language, and their whole dashboard opens in it too — so if the two of you speak different languages, you each get LumiWed in your own.

• Suomeksi, kiitos — LumiWed speaks Finnish — your dashboard, wedding site, invitations, and guest emails are now available in Finnish, our 16th language. Tervetuloa!

• Ask your guests anything — add your own questions to the RSVP form: bus times, song requests, childcare, whatever you need. Each guest answers them in their own language, and you see every answer next to their name and in your guest export.

• A new theme: Noir Blanc — pure black and white. Your photograph fills the screen, with elegant names below and nothing else competing.

• Photos and formatting in every section — travel notes, story blocks, love-story milestones, and schedule events can now carry photos under the text, or switch to an advanced editor with headings, lists, links, and inline images. Your guests see it all beautifully on your site, in every language.

• Photo editor — you can now crop, rotate, flip, and reframe every gallery photo right in your dashboard, with square, portrait, and landscape presets. We keep your original, so you can re-edit anytime.

• Gallery layouts — choose how your wedding site shows your photos: grid, masonry, or carousel.

• Digital wedding invitation guides — new pages walk you through sending free digital invitations in your language, now in all 16 languages LumiWed supports.

• Guest comments — you can turn on a comments section at the end of your wedding site from Design. Guests leave a short note (emoji welcome), and you can reply.

• Privacy mode — Premium couples can lock their wedding site so only invited guests who confirm their email can view it.

Improved

• Journal articles read more naturally — each daily post now gets an extra polish pass that strips AI-sounding phrasing and checks the writing against human narrative habits, so pieces feel warmer and more specific.

• Cookie notice — it now matches the rest of LumiWed, with the same warm colours, type and rounded buttons instead of a generic pop-up.

• Warmer greetings in every language — set a guest's title (Mr, Mrs, Ms) and their invitation and reminder emails now greet them with the right gendered word in languages that use one — German "Lieber/Liebe", French "Cher/Chère", and more — instead of the neutral slash form.

• A prettier Premium receipt — the email confirming your Premium upgrade now carries LumiWed's warm signature look.

• A gentle nudge in your language — if we open your dashboard in one language but you arrived from a page in another, we now offer, just once, to switch to the language of the page you came from. Pick either way and we remember your choice — no repeat asking.

• Site preview loads faster — the preview page is now rendered on the server again, so it appears fully-formed instead of assembling itself in your browser after the page arrives.

• Section photos open full-screen — tap any photo in your travel notes, story blocks, milestones, or schedule to view it large, with arrows to browse. Works in your preview and on your wedding site.

• No retyping when switching layouts — flipping a section to the advanced editor now carries over your text and photos automatically.

• Homepage flags — the flags in our headline now spread across the whole page and drift down together, so you can see every language we speak.

• A tidier dashboard — the floating cookie button no longer lingers once you've made your choice. Need to change it? A new "Cookies" link sits with Privacy and Terms in the sidebar.

• The Journal moved home — our blog now lives right on lumiwed.com under its own /blog section, so reading articles and browsing the site feels like one place. Old links keep working.

• Screen readers speak your language — if you use a screen reader, the "Changes saved" announcements while editing now come in your dashboard language instead of English.

• Inviting your partner — once you have filled in their name and email, the button beside the field says "Invite ", so it is clear you can bring them in to help. Still entirely up to you.

• Lighter pages — our pages now carry a fraction of the weight they used to, so everything appears faster, especially on a phone or a slow connection.

• Premium themes look premium — themes that need an upgrade now carry a clear "Premium theme — Unlock Premium" bar across the bottom of the card, so you can tell at a glance which ones are included in your plan.

• Preview from anywhere in the editor — the floating menu now has a preview button, so you can open your site without scrolling back to the top.

• Floating language button — the thumb-reach language control on wedding sites is off by default (PostHog flag). The header language control stays available when a wedding has more than one language.

• Guest list name row — guest name and email now share one row; hover the name to see the email in a tooltip.

• Guest list filters — attendance and side filters sit next to search in one tidy row, and the guest detail panel puts activity on the side so your guest info has room to breathe.

• Translating RSVP questions — switch a language in the content editor and your custom RSVP questions now show the original text so you can translate each question and its options, just like every other section.

• Language flag button — your wedding site now shows a round country flag for language switching instead of a flag emoji.

• Floating guest menu — RSVP, language, and scroll-to-top now sit lower (aligned with the cookie button) and share one compact size.

• Venue names stay as you wrote them — we no longer auto-translate venue and location names, since they're usually proper names. If yours is really a description ("Our Wedding", "Reception"), switch language and translate it yourself — an info icon on the field explains this.

Fixed

• The Publish button responds on the first tap — on tablets and phones, the Publish button in the side menu no longer needed a second tap before anything happened. One tap now opens publishing straight away.

• Sending an invite shows it's working — the send-invite button now shows a spinner the moment you tap it, instead of looking like nothing happened while your invitation is on its way.

• Guests without an email say why they can't be selected — the tick box next to a guest who has no email address now tells you an email is needed when you tap it, instead of silently doing nothing.

• Formatting buttons light up right away — in the advanced editor, tapping Bold, a heading, or a list now highlights the button immediately, even before you start typing, so you can tell it worked.

• Picking a date and time is smoother — the date and time pickers when you add a moment to your schedule now open on the first click instead of sometimes needing a few tries.

• You're told when a schedule moment is added — or if it isn't — adding a moment to your day's programme now confirms it saved, and warns you clearly if something went wrong, instead of leaving you guessing.

• Tap a photo to move through the gallery — when browsing photos fullscreen on your wedding site, tapping the photo now moves to the next one (or the previous one, tapping its left side), so your guests aren't left tapping a photo that doesn't respond.

• Your names stay your names — names, nicknames, parents' names, your country and your social links are no longer sent for translation. They read the same in every language, as they should. Only your "about me" text gets translated on the couple page.

• Cookie choices are respected in the dashboard — if you decline analytics cookies, tracking scripts no longer load.

• Dashboard on mobile — a brief drop in signal no longer shows an error screen. Your dashboard now quietly retries and loads as normal.

• Switching a section's editor keeps your translations — flipping a travel note (or any body-text section) between the simple and advanced editor now carries your text and every translation across both ways. Simple to advanced keeps your wording; advanced back to simple keeps the words and line breaks, dropping only the formatting. Nothing you or your guests read gets lost either direction.

• RSVP confirmation emails read naturally again — French, Spanish, and Italian confirmations now carry their proper accents, so your guests read clean, correct wording in their own language.

• Upgrading to Premium now always takes effect — in a rare case a payment could go through without your site switching to Premium. Payments now activate reliably, and any that slip through are caught and put right automatically.

• A ceremony without a party venue (or the other way round) counts as done — if you removed one of the two locations, the setup warning no longer asks for the city and country of the location you took off your site. An address on the location you kept is enough to send invitations.

• Invitations always show where you're getting married — if you typed your venue address yourself instead of picking a suggestion, invites and reminders used to show only the venue name, with a map link that led nowhere. They now show your full address, and the map link and calendar attachment point at it.

• Buttons hidden behind the chat bubble — the floating "Next", language and voice buttons now step aside for the support chat bubble, so nothing sits underneath it.

• No more repeat pop-ups while filling in your content — the "stay and complete" warning no longer interrupts you every time you move between sections that still have an empty required field. Fill things in whatever order you like.

• Upgrading to Premium — checkout opens reliably again, you can enter a discount code on the payment page, your upgrade is confirmed right after paying, and if anything does go wrong you get a clear message instead of a technical error.

• Back where you left off — if you're asked to sign in on the way to a specific page, we now return you to that page afterwards instead of the dashboard.

• Gallery layouts — picking grid, masonry, or carousel now really changes how your photos look, both in your preview and on your live site, and your choice sticks even if you pick it the moment the page opens.

• Photo viewer — the arrows for browsing photos fullscreen no longer jump away when you move your mouse over them.

• Premium themes — tapping a premium theme now opens the upgrade panel right away, instead of looking like nothing happened.

• Your partner's email is optional — setting up on your own is fine. We only need each of your first names, and the couple step no longer asks for an email address that isn't there.

• Couple step ticks off properly — once your names and countries are in, the couple step in the menu shows as done straight away, matching the tick at the top of the page.

• Sign-in page — if sign-in is ever temporarily unavailable, the page now shows a friendly "try again" message instead of an error screen.

• Photo viewer — opening a gallery photo in fullscreen now centers it properly on the screen.

• Pasting an email address — copy a contact straight from your mail app and paste it in. We keep the address and quietly drop the rest, so there is nothing to tidy up by hand.

• The language menu on our website now scrolls on phones, so every language is easy to reach.

• Schedule times — the times you enter for your day's programme now show up for your guests exactly as you typed them, in every timezone.

• Travel section headings — travel tips are grouped under proper headings again (By train, By car, …), translated into your guests' languages.

• Travel categories in your language — the category names in your dashboard (Airports, By train, Hotels, …) now follow the language you set for your dashboard, instead of always showing English.

• Invitation and reminder emails are now fully in your guest's language — the weekday in the wedding date and the small footer line no longer show up in English.

• Guest setup blockers — when you haven't finished the required basics yet, the guests page now names exactly which details are still missing and gives a one-tap link to fix each one, instead of a generic "complete onboarding" message.

• Add to schedule on mobile — the "Add to schedule" button now responds on the first tap and shows inline errors for a missing title, date, or time, instead of staying greyed out with no feedback.

• Add a love-story milestone on mobile — the "Add" button in your love story now responds on the first tap and shows inline errors for a missing title or date, instead of staying greyed out with no feedback.

• We follow your browser's language — if your device is set to a language we support, your dashboard now opens in that language instead of defaulting to English when you arrive from our homepage. Your own language choice always still wins.

• Opening a photo — tapping a photo in your gallery, or one attached to a travel tip, now opens it properly: the picture is centred, shown at its full size and correct shape, with the page dimmed behind it. Tall photos are no longer squeezed into a small strip, photos on travel tips no longer open off the screen, and tapping the dark background closes the photo again.

• Preview button and save messages in your language — the "Preview" / "View page" button in the dashboard header and the "Saved" confirmations that pop up after editing now follow the language you set for your dashboard, instead of always showing English.

• Adding a travel note clears the form — after you add a note in the advanced editor, the box empties for the next one instead of keeping the text you just saved.

• A quieter save indicator on your fields — the small "SAVED" tag next to each field is now just an icon: amber while you have unsaved edits, a spinner while it saves, a green check when it lands. It also no longer shows English wording when your dashboard is set to another language. There is now one indicator per card instead of one per field, so a card with six fields no longer shows six little save icons.

• Browsing themes feels smooth again — clicking the arrows on the theme picker quickly no longer makes the row of themes stutter or jump backwards. Each click now moves you neatly one theme along.

• Address suggestions stay visible — the list of address suggestions in Content now sits on top of the page instead of being cut off by the edge of the card, so you can see and pick every match.

• Date and time buttons keep their text inside — long labels like "Pick a milestone date" no longer spill out of the button in narrow columns; they shorten with a "…" instead.

• Partner invites no longer land in the wrong account — when your partner opens your invite on the same computer where you are still signed in, LumiWed now says who is signed in and offers to sign out so they can create their own account, instead of quietly dropping them into your dashboard.

• Guest detail panel — the soft header tint now runs edge-to-edge under the close control, and side / language show as compact chips next to +1 instead of separate cards.

• Guest detail chips — a guest on one partner’s side now shows that partner’s first name (e.g. “Sina’s side”) instead of “Partner 2”.

• Premium themes — locked themes now show a clear crown and an unlock button, so you can tell at a glance which designs are part of Premium.

• Guest language switcher — the header control is back for multi-language wedding sites; only the floating language button stays behind the PostHog toggle.

• Poor translations no longer reach your guests — when a translation comes back weak, we now try again instead of publishing it. If a line still can't be translated well after a few tries, we leave your original wording in place and tell you exactly which lines need a look, rather than putting something wrong on your site.

• Weak translations stay off your guest site — if a line was scored too low to trust, guests now see your original wording instead of the bad translation. Older rejected rows already in the database are hidden the same way.

• Translating your content — every section now shows your original text right under the field you are translating, so you always see what you are working from. Previously only a few fields did.

• Your site now really gets translated when you publish — publishing kicked off the translation run, but the request never arrived, so every section — travel notes, schedule, venue, your own words — stayed in the language you wrote it in. Publish now reaches the translator every time, and each language you added fills in on its own.

• We hear about translation problems now, not you — if a publish can't hand your site to the translator, or a translation job fails partway, it now pings us right away instead of quietly leaving your site in one language.

This week's LumiWed product updates.

New

• Polish is now available — publish your wedding site, invites, and dashboard in Polish, alongside English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and European Portuguese.
• A thank-you page after upgrading — after a successful premium purchase, you land on a dedicated thank-you page instead of just returning to the dashboard.
• Choose your starting point for a new wedding — start with example content to explore the dashboard, or a clean slate.
• Drag to reorder your schedule — reordering events shifts their times for you automatically.
• RSVP and language switching stay within reach — a floating button keeps RSVP and the language switcher visible as guests scroll your site.
• Product tours and the theme editor now speak your language — in-app guidance and theme descriptions follow your dashboard language.

Improved

• Invitation emails look sharper — the date and venue now sit in a cleaner, refined card that stacks neatly on phones, and your wedding date shows in the exact format and time zone you chose.
• Venue names in guest emails now open Google Maps — guests can tap the location straight to directions, and reminder emails now match your wedding's chosen theme too.
• Partner invites ask for a first name up front, with a refreshed email design.
• Signing up and signing in feel smoother — fewer reloads and blank screens, including with Google.
• Easier country picker and a cleaner mobile dashboard — search for your country instead of scrolling, plus mobile layout and accessibility polish throughout.
• We confirm before bulk-deleting guests, so you don't lose your list by accident.
• Your name displays consistently everywhere in the dashboard, following the format you chose.

Fixed

• Theme labels now speak your language — the theme cards and save messages on the Design page follow your dashboard language (including Polish and Portuguese) instead of sometimes showing English.
• Saving your site languages works again — updating the languages of your wedding site no longer fails with an error during setup or in settings.
• Guest-facing pages now always show your wedding's chosen language instead of sometimes falling back to English.
• Google sign-up no longer gets stuck on the legal-consent step.
• Accepting a partner invite no longer dead-ends — your workspace sets up automatically.

What's new — July 5, 2026 #

This week's LumiWed product updates.

Improved

• A first look at what you'll be planning with. The lumiwed.com homepage now shows the couple dashboard live — RSVPs ticking up, recent replies sliding in, and a phone with how a guest will see your site.
• Try every theme on for size. Scroll past the themes section and the wedding-site preview now morphs through all ten curated themes one after another — photo, palette, and serif typeface change together. Click any palette chip below to jump to a specific look.
• See your site in every language at once. A new section autoplays the guest view through every supported language. Your names stay your names — everything around them slides into the new language with a soft fade.
• A preview of guest management. A new section shows the same calm dashboard you'll use to track RSVPs, group guests by event, and tally meals — search, filter, and download are all right there.
• See the editor walk itself. A new "drag, hide, theme, publish" section on the homepage shows the couple editor in motion — as you scroll, sections reorder, a section hides itself, the palette swaps, and the Publish button appears with every language already lined up.
• Walk through what your guests will see. A new section follows a guest from a WhatsApp link to the RSVP confirmation — the wedding site loads in their language, the form fills in one tap. As you scroll, the phone in the section transitions to the next step.
• A peek at the chat that builds your site. A new section shows the quick conversation that gets your wedding site started — a friendly transcript appears line by line, and you see the name, date, venue, and language cards fill themselves in alongside.
• A heads-up for our mobile apps. A new "coming soon" section on the homepage previews what the LumiWed iPhone and Android apps will look like. Drop your email and we'll ping you the day they're ready.
• An honest side-by-side comparison. A new section lets you see at a glance how LumiWed stacks up against Riley & Grey, Joy, and Zola on the things multilingual couples care about — automatic translation, a sortable editor, guest management, themes, and pricing.
• Better signals for what to keep showing you. Behind the scenes, the homepage now tells us which sections you actually scrolled through — so we can keep tightening the things you cared about and trim the things you skipped. We only track when you've granted analytics consent.
• Drop us your email and we'll ping you on app launch day. The mobile-apps preview on the homepage now genuinely puts you on the launch waitlist. You'll get a confirmation email; once you click it you're in. Unsubscribe any time.
• The mobile-apps preview now speaks your language. Headline, body, button, and confirmation message on the apps "coming soon" section now show up translated in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese — not just English.
• Dashboard preview now greets you in your language. The "Every wedding detail, in one calm dashboard" intro at the top of the homepage now reads in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese alongside English.
• The themes showcase reads in your language. The "Pick the one your day already feels like" intro and palette hint now show up in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
• The translation showcase reads in your language too. The "Write once. Read in 7 languages." intro, "Now showing", and the hint underneath the flag chips now appear in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
• The guest-management preview reads in your language. Headline, body, summary card labels, table headers, status badges, search and filter labels on the "Guests, RSVPs and meals" showcase now render in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
• The modular-editor walkthrough now reads in your language. Headline, body, the four "drag, hide, theme, publish" stage titles + bodies, section labels in the laptop preview, and the publish overlay now render in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
• The guest-journey walkthrough now reads in your language. Headline, body, and the four step titles + bodies of the WhatsApp → site → RSVP → confirmation flow now render in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. The phone screens stay in Spanish on purpose — that's the showcase point.
• The "tell us about your wedding" chat showcase now reads in your language. Headline, body, transcript bubbles between Lumi and the couple, side panel labels (Bride / Groom / Wedding date / Venue / Languages), and the "Saved" + hint copy now render in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
• The side-by-side comparison now reads in your language. Headline, body, table headers, row labels, status badges, and the disclaimer footnote on the "Built for couples who outgrew the others" comparison against Riley & Grey, Joy, and Zola now render in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. Brand names + numeric counts stay as-is.

Fixed

• The lumiwed.com homepage is back. Every locale (/en/, /de/, /es/, …) had been returning a 500 since the recent Astro v6 upgrade — we were reading the worker's environment the old way. Now reading it the new way; pages render again.

What's new — June 21, 2026 #

This week's LumiWed product updates.

New

• Choose your dashboard language — pick the language for your LumiWed dashboard in Settings. We remember it on your account so it stays the same on every device, and new sign-ups start in the language they arrived in.

• Organize guests by side — note which side each guest is coming from (one partner's, the other's, both, or still undecided) and filter your guest list by it, so planning and seating are easier.

• Bigger guest lists, when you need them — add as many guests as you like. Free weddings can invite and publish for up to 50; go over and we'll let you know invites and publishing pause until you trim back or upgrade to Premium. You can still email yourself a preview of any guest's invite at any time.

• The LumiWed newsletter — subscribe from the blog or homepage to get a warm monthly roundup of new articles and product updates. Confirm with one tap, manage your preferences any time, and unsubscribe in a single click.

• Choose your emails — a new Notifications section in your dashboard settings lets you opt in or out of the monthly roundup whenever you like.

• Meet the writers — every blog article now links to an author page with a short bio and all of that writer's stories.

• A warm welcome from Rob — soon after you sign up you'll get a short, personal note from our founder, with a one-tap link to invite your partner so the two of you can plan your wedding together.

Improved

• Add venues by searching — when you set your ceremony or venue, just start typing the place or address and pick it from the suggestions. We fill in the rest for your guests, so there's no more juggling separate address, city, and country fields.

• Show or hide the map — for each ceremony or venue you can now choose whether your wedding site shows an embedded map. Either way, guests can tap the address to open it in Google Maps.

• Sign in, in your language — the sign-in and sign-up screen now appears in your language, with a flag picker in the top corner to switch any time. It opens in the language of the page you came from, or your browser's.

• Your dashboard speaks your language — pick your dashboard language and the dashboard itself follows, not just the menu. Starting with your home overview — the setup checklist, stats, recent RSVPs, theme switcher and sharing options all appear in the language you chose.

• A tidier couple page — both of you now share one clean card, with personal details and social links tucked behind simple toggles.

• Clearer translations — when you edit a guest language, your original text now shows with its language and flag, so it's obvious what you're translating from.

• Fresher stories on the blog — our daily journal now draws on a wider mix of what's happening — wedding-season trends, cultural celebrations, travel and traditions — so you'll see more variety, not the same theme twice.

• A clearer way to go live — the publish step has a fresh look that shows what's ready at a glance, the languages your site will be available in, and a single tap to take it live.

• A clearer language for each guest — your guest list now shows each guest's language as a tidy little flag, and you can change it from that guest's details whenever you need to.

• A little help with languages — once you lock in your second language, we show you where to switch the language you're editing, and let you know your site is translated automatically on first publish — you can fine-tune it after.

• Easier navigation on phones — your wedding site's menu now tucks into a tidy slide-out drawer on mobile, so guests can reach every section with one tap no matter how small their screen.

• A beautiful new blog — the LumiWed Journal has a fresh editorial look: a featured story up top, browse-by-topic categories, and cleaner, easier-to-read articles with related reads at the end. Every post now arrives with its own warm, on-brand cover illustration — happy married couples from all walks of life — shown prominently at the top of each article and on mobile.

• A clearer dashboard — your dashboard now guides you one step at a time: it shows the single most important next action, and your stats, RSVPs and theme picker appear once you've added your couple details.

• A warmer dashboard design — a refreshed gold-on-ivory look with a guided sidebar that tracks your progress to going live, and a gentle "next step" prompt at the bottom of each setup page.

• Tidier partner cards — both partner cards on the couple step now match each other with a compact profile photo, and inviting your partner to co-manage sits right on the card instead of a separate panel.

• Sidebar fits smaller laptops — the dashboard sidebar is more compact, so every setup step stays in view without scrolling on smaller screens. Collapse it to a slim icon rail and hover any icon to see its label.

• Clearer terms while we're in beta — our Terms of Service now spell out that LumiWed is still under active development, so you know what to expect as the platform grows.

• A calmer, less cluttered dashboard — we trimmed repeated titles and long explanations across your dashboard pages. The detail is still there: tap the small ( i ) icon next to a field for a quick hint, so the screen stays clean and only the things that matter are spelled out.

• Faster wedding sites — your guests' pages now load and appear quicker on phones, especially the cover photo, so the first impression arrives sooner.

• Getting started is up to you — after you sign up you land straight on your dashboard. Would you rather have a quick chat to get going? Tap "Start interview" and we'll fill in your details for you — or set things up yourself. Either way, you're never stuck behind a pop-up.

Fixed

• Settings opens reliably again — the settings page no longer fails to load on some phones.
• RSVP push notifications need a phone number — you can only switch on push alerts for new RSVPs once at least one partner has a mobile number saved on their account, with a clear note when one's still missing.
• Pop-ups fit smaller screens — dialogs now scroll on short or zoomed phone screens, so the buttons inside are always reachable.
• Friendlier with screen readers — dashboard pop-ups now announce their title and every button has a clear spoken label, so the dashboard is easier to use with assistive technology.
• More ways to share — when you invite a guest or share your live wedding site, we now write a warm, ready-to-go message for you — and for guest invites it's in their own language. Send it straight to WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram or Apple Messages, copy the link with one tap, or save the QR code as an image.
• LumiWed logo on phone sign-in — the sign-in screen now shows the LumiWed logo on phones, matching the desktop view.
• Jump straight to what's missing — when your guest list reminds you to finish the basics before sending invites, each missing detail is now a link that takes you right to the field to fill in.

Improved

• Guest import fixes itself as you go — importing a guest list no longer rejects everyone over one bad row. The good rows import right away, and only the rows that need a fix stay in the box with a clear reason — fix them and import again, or discard what's left. Nothing is ever dropped silently.
• Sturdier contact form — the contact form now shrugs off spam and abuse with a per-sender rate limit, so genuine messages always get through.

Fixed

• Sign-up scrolls on phones — the create-account screen now scrolls fully on small screens, so the "Continue with Google" button at the top and the footer links at the bottom are always reachable.
• Flags keep their true colors in dark mode — language flags no longer get recolored when your phone or browser forces a dark theme, so every flag stays crisp and correct wherever you see it.
• A tidier language switcher — the flag picker on the sign-in screen now shows each language as a clean, crisp flag, so it looks just right in every corner of LumiWed.
• Publishing never gets stuck spinning — if a translation run stalls, the status now stops waiting after a few minutes and tells you, instead of spinning indefinitely.
• Your dashboard always loads — the visitor-count card no longer holds up the rest of your dashboard if our analytics service is slow to answer.
• No more duplicate emails — when a payment or sign-up notification is retried behind the scenes, we now recognise it and skip the repeat, so you won't get the same confirmation twice.
• A steadier site preview — your wedding-site preview now stays put even when a partner name or venue hasn't been filled in yet, or a photo is slow to load, instead of showing a broken tile or a blank screen.
• Smoother voice onboarding — finishing the AI interview reliably lands you in your dashboard once, even if the call drops or reconnects, with no duplicate setup left behind.
• Guest welcome note you can dismiss — the personal greeting that appears when a guest opens their invite now sits properly on top of the page, so it's easy to read and tap away instead of getting tucked behind the cover.
• Tidier couple names on the cover — on the Classic Gold theme the two names and the "and" between them now sit evenly together, with the extra gap removed.
• Mobile menu opens cleanly — on phones the wedding-site menu now slides out over the page (no longer hidden behind it), stays usable while open, and the header bar with the menu and language switcher stays pinned to the top as you scroll.
• Wedding-site header truly sticks — the menu + language bar now stays pinned at the top of your wedding site as guests scroll, instead of vanishing.
• Scroll-to-top ring fixed — the progress circle now wraps the back-to-top button correctly instead of floating as a tiny ring in the corner.
• Notifications are easy to dismiss on phones — toast pop-ups now show their close button on touch devices and always sit on top, so they can be tapped away.
• Couple step fits small phones — on very small screens the partner cards no longer run off the edge: fields stay within the screen, the label picker shows in full, and the page title and buttons sit comfortably instead of getting squeezed.
• Buttons clear of the help bubble on phones — the "Next" and "back to top" buttons now sit in the bottom-left corner on mobile, so they no longer overlap the help/chat bubble.
• Homepage theme photos always load — the wedding photos in the homepage themes carousel are now served from our own site, so they no longer occasionally fail to appear.
• Never miss a required detail — when you try to continue with a required field still empty, we now scroll to it, highlight it, and give it a gentle nudge so it's easy to spot and finish.
• "View on map" link reads properly — travel and accommodation cards on your wedding site now show a translated "View on map" link instead of a raw placeholder.
• Guest side stays put — editing a guest's name, email, language or plus-one no longer resets which side they're on. Your side assignments now stick.
• Tips that work on your phone — the little ( i ) info tips are now easy to tap and stay open for a few seconds when you tap them, so you can read them on a touchscreen. Tap elsewhere or tap the icon again to close.
• Tips stay on screen — those little ( i ) info tips now keep within the edges of your phone screen and wrap their text, instead of running off the side and getting cut off.
• "Go Premium" opens the upgrade right away — tapping "Go Premium" in the sidebar now opens your upgrade options instantly and shows the correct one-time price.
• Accurate country count on the homepage — the live couples globe now counts each country once, so the "countries" number matches the flags shown (a name-variant glitch could previously count the same country twice).

What's new — June 15, 2026 #

This week's LumiWed product updates.

New

• Public changelog — follow the latest LumiWed updates at changelog.lumiwed.com, now linked from our homepage footer alongside the roadmap.
• Per-event RSVP — your guests can now reply to each event on its own (ceremony, reception and more), and your dashboard shows who is coming to each one.
• Your own site icon — upload a custom favicon so your wedding site shows your icon in the browser tab. Hero photo uploads now live under Design too.
• The LumiWed blog — practical advice for planning a multilingual, multicultural wedding now lives at blog.lumiwed.com, available in every supported language.
• Tell guests where you're from — each partner now sets a country of origin, and if you have a mixed background you can pick Dual nationality to show a primary and secondary country on your wedding site.

Improved

• See your site's reach — your dashboard now shows how many times your wedding site has been visited, with the week-over-week trend at a glance.
• Section order moved to Design — you now arrange and show or hide your wedding site sections on the Design page, and the Content page gives every section the full width to work in.
• Cleaner guest list — guest rows now line up neatly, the invite timestamp appears when you hover the status badge, and once an invite is sent the row focuses on viewing guest details, with reminders one click away in the row menu.
• One-click publishing — the new Publish button at the top of your dashboard takes your wedding site live in seconds, opens it right away and copies the link so you can share it. Inviting guests is now a simple next step after publishing, not a requirement.
• Live world map — the globe on our homepage now shows real continents, where LumiWed couples and guests come from, and glowing connections between each couple's home countries, with up-to-date wedding and member counts.
• Tidier homepage footer — links are now grouped into Product, Company, Resources and Legal so everything is easier to find.
• Safer link refresh — before you regenerate a guest's invite link, we now warn you that any link or code already sent to them will stop working, so you know to resend their invitation.
• Smoother premium upgrade — your premium features now activate right after checkout, and your dashboard shows a clear billing summary.
• More beautiful invitations — guest invitation emails are now matched to your chosen theme and written in your voice as a couple.
• Invite code in every email — each invitation now includes a personal code your guest can enter if the link does not open for them.
• Straight to your RSVP — opening a personal invite link now takes guests right to the RSVP section.
• Invites in your site's languages — guest invitations now only offer the languages you have enabled for your wedding site.
• Easier site sharing — once your site is live you can show a QR code for it or share it straight to WhatsApp, Telegram or email.
• Refreshed wedding site — a warmer guest welcome with your names front and centre, a one-tap "add to calendar" on your date, a maps link to your venue, a cleaner schedule, and a language picker that shows each flag and full name.
• Tidier partner profile — the note about managing your partner's profile before they join now tucks behind a small info icon, keeping the form clean.
• Browse every theme on our homepage — the themes section now lets you swipe through all ten looks, each with a real wedding photo, its own fonts and colour palette, so you can find your style before you sign up.
• Simpler couple page — we now ask only for each partner's name and email up front and tuck the optional details and social links behind a tap, with a clear prompt that guides you straight to anything still needed before you continue.

Fixed

• No more interruptions during setup — the welcome tour now waits until you finish your interview or choose to set things up yourself, so it no longer pops up over the questions.
• Friendlier expired invites — if a guest opens an invitation link that is no longer valid, they now see a warm message asking them to contact you for a fresh link, instead of a technical error screen.
