Naming the Guests at Your Table

USER GUIDE

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church · PaymentsHow a table sponsor opens the private link, names each guest, changes a name before the cutoff, and what happens after the cutoff.

Who this guide is for

You bought a table at a parish event such as the gala. The parish emailed you a private link after you paid. You do not need to sign in.

Why we ask for this

You pay once for the whole table, and you choose who sits at it. The private link lets you name every guest yourself, so the parish does not need to collect a list from you.

What you will do, in one sentence

Open the private link, type the name of each guest, and select Save names.

This guide has not been verified against the running system yet. This edition has no screenshots yet. The pictures come after ticket sales are on staging. Prepared 7 November 2026.

After you pay for a table, the parish sends you an email. The email has a private link.

  1. Open the email.
  2. Select the link. The table page opens. You do not need to sign in.

Do not share the link. Anyone who has the link can change the names at your table.

The page shows the name of your table, one box for each seat, and the last day you can change names.

2. Naming your guests​

  1. Type the name of each guest in the box for the seat.
  2. Select Save names.
  3. Wait for the message "Saved. Thank you."

A name can have up to 200 letters. A seat you leave empty prints as "Guest of" and your name. The ticket for that seat then carries the name.

You can name some seats now and the rest later. Open the link again when you know more names.

3. Changing a name​

  1. Open your private link again.
  2. Change the name in the box.
  3. Select Save names.

You can change names until the last day shown on the page. To clear a name, delete the text and select Save names. The seat then prints as "Guest of" and your name again.

4. After the last day​

After the last day, the page is read-only. The page says "Naming guests is closed. The names below are final."

To change a name after the last day, call the parish office. Staff can rename a guest at any time.

When the parish sends you a new link, the old link stops working. Use the newest email.

The link works until one day after the event ends.

6. At the event​

Every seat has its own ticket and its own QR code. The tickets belong to your order.

If the parish refunds a seat, your table has one seat fewer. The private link then lists only the remaining seats.

  1. Sign in and open My tickets.
  2. Find the paid order for the table.
  3. Select Show QR code under each ticket.

Each guest shows a QR code at the door. You can show them all from your phone. The guide "Your Tickets and QR Codes" explains My tickets.
