Why an invitation says it is not ready yet
Understand the lock screen guests may see after the free trial or view limit.

What the message means
If guests see a message like "This invitation isn't ready yet," the invitation may already be published but temporarily locked.
The most common reasons are that the free trial period has ended or the free invitation view limit has been reached.
How to unlock it
Open My Invitations, find the invitation card, and use the Pay button to upgrade it. Once payment is confirmed, the invitation is unlocked for guests again.
If you are not sure whether the issue is trial expiry, view limit, or publishing status, contact support with the invitation link.
