How do I add someone after names have been drawn?

Good News! You can invite people at any time to your Gift Exchange!

Inviting Someone after Names Have Been Drawn

  1. Click on Exchanges located in the menu bar

  2. Select the Gift Exchange you are organizing

  3. Select Invite More Guests under Your Guest List.

  4. Enter your guest's name in the available field to add them to the list, then share the sign-up link via your own text message, email, or social media page.

  5. Select Invite

    1. You will see that those individuals need to accept the invitation, or that you can accept for them.

    2. Once they have accepted or you have accepted for them, you will see that you have people who are unassigned for your exchange

  6. Select Draw Names Early when you are ready to draw names or select the alert at the top of the page letting you know that someone is missing a draw name.

    1. If there is more than one person, the latecomers will be assigned to each other, and the rest of the assigned draws for your exchange will not change.

    2. If you have only one latecomer, you must select a name to assign the new person to. The latecomer will receive the name that the person currently has.

Example: Comet is giving to Dasher. Rudolph joins the Gift Exchange late. You select Comet to give to Rudolph. Rudolph will now be giving to Dasher, and no other draws will be affected.
​

People may also RSVP after names are drawn. These people will be listed as participants who are unassigned, and they will all be assigned a draw when you click the Draw Names button in the latecomers section of the exchange page.
