I'm an expert in event planning and digital communication, and I'm here to guide you through the process of adding a "What to Bring" (WTB) list to an Evite invitation. Evite is a popular online platform for sending and managing invitations for various events, and it provides a convenient feature to let your guests know what they should bring to your event.

Firstly, it's important to consider the nature of your event when deciding on what to bring. For instance, if it's a potluck dinner, you'll want to specify the type of dish each guest should bring, whether it's an appetizer, main course, or dessert. For a themed party, you might ask guests to dress according to the theme or bring a related item. For a casual gathering, you might simply request that guests bring themselves and perhaps a beverage of their choice.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add a WTB list to your Evite:


1. Access the Evite Platform: Start by logging into your Evite account. If you don't have one, you'll need to sign up for a free account.


2. Create or Edit Your Invitation: Navigate to the event for which you want to add the WTB list. If you haven't created the invitation yet, you'll need to do so by selecting a template and customizing it according to your event details.


3. Find the 'What To Bring' Tab: Once you're in the invitation editor, look for the "What To Bring" tab. This is usually located in the invitation details section where you can add information about the event.


4. Add Your Items: Click on the "What To Bring" tab to expand it. Here, you can start listing the items you want your guests to bring. Be as specific as possible to avoid confusion. For example, instead of just saying "bring a dish," you might say "bring a homemade pasta dish."


5. Organize Your List: You can organize your list by category or by guest if you have specific requests for certain individuals. This helps keep the information clear and easy to follow.


6. Save Your Changes: After you've added all the items to your WTB list, make sure to save your changes. Evite will typically have a save button at the bottom of the page.

7.
Preview Your Invitation: Before sending out your invitation, it's a good idea to preview it to ensure that everything looks the way you want it to. Check that the WTB list is visible and correctly formatted.

8.
Send Your Invitation: Once you're satisfied with your invitation and WTB list, you can proceed to send the invitation to your guests. They will be able to see the list of items they should bring when they receive the invitation.

9.
Monitor RSVPs and Updates: Keep an eye on the RSVPs and any updates from your guests. If someone indicates that they will bring something specific, you can cross it off your list to avoid duplicates.

10.
Communicate with Your Guests: If you have any changes or additional requests, don't hesitate to communicate with your guests. Evite allows you to send messages to your guests, which can be helpful for last-minute updates.

Remember, the key to a successful event is clear communication. By providing a detailed WTB list, you help your guests know exactly what to expect and how to contribute to the success of your event.
