🎯 What Controls Your Date Format
Every date has a day/month order — for example 12/10/2026 (day-first) vs 10/12/2026 (month-first), or 12 October 2026 vs October 12, 2026. That order is controlled by one of three things:
Your business setting — Settings → Business → date format
Each wedding's own setting — every wedding can have its own format, separate from your business default
Your guests' browser/region — public guest-facing pages follow whoever is viewing them, not your account settings
📌 Note: The month name's language always follows the reader (a French browser shows octobre) — only the day/month order is controlled by the setting. A date shown together with a time (e.g. 12 October 2026, 10:15) never changes format.
🏢 Your Business Setting

💍 A Wedding's Own Setting
Each wedding can have its own date format, independent of your business default — even if you're logged in with a different setting elsewhere. This affects:
📍 Head to Settings → General → Date Format within the wedding to switch between Day-first and Month-first for that event. This applies across the wedding's dashboard, including:
Page | Where You'll See It | Sample Date |
Wedding dashboard | Greeting / countdown date · activity feed entries | 12 October 2026 |
Accommodation | Arrival / departure · stay range · bookings · bookings export | 12/10/2026 |
Budget | Next-payment date · FX "last updated" · budget export | 12/10/2026 |
Payments | Payment due date · vendor-sheet due-date tag · vendor export | 12/10/2026 |
To-dos | Due-date tag · template preview · export | 12/10/2026 |
Timeline | Day-group headers · template preview · PDF export | 12 October 2026 |
Guestlist | Date-type columns | 12/10/2026 |

E-cards | Delivery list · recipients · view details · export | 12/10/2026 |
Moodboards / Quick links | "Last updated" / "Created" | 12/10/2026 |
Questionnaires (list) | "Expiration date" column | 12/10/2026 |
Website builder → Itinerary editor | Day heading in the editor list | 12 October 2026 |
Website builder → Preview cover | Wedding date range | 12 October 2026 |
Floorplans → Export → detailed PDF | Date range in the PDF subtitle | 12 October 2026 |
Settings → Domain tab | Auto-renew date · "Purchased" date | 12/10/2026 |
📌 Note: Your Website Builder can show two formats at once — this is expected. The editor list follows your wedding's setting, while the live preview follows the visiting guest's own
👥 What Your Guests See
On public-facing pages - your wedding website, RSVP form, public timeline, and hotel booking pages - dates automatically adjust to match each guest's own browser or region settings. You don't need to configure anything for this; it happens automatically.
📍 These dates automatically match the format set on your guest's own browser or device — no action needed on your end. This applies across:
Page (Public) | Date to Check | Example |
Event website — cover/hero | Wedding date (single date) | 12 October 2026 |
Event website — cover/hero | Wedding date range (from + to both set) | 12 – 14 October 2026 |
Event website — itinerary | Day headings | 12 October 2026 |
Public RSVP | Response-deadline date | 12/10/2026 |
Public timeline (shared with guests) | Day headers | 12 October 2026 |
Public questionnaire — contact/answer form | "Replied" date | 12/10/2026 |
Public questionnaire — contact/answer form | Expiry (shown with a time — won't flip) | 12 October 2026, 10:15 |
Hotel/Stay — hotel & room cards | Check-in/out · free-cancellation date | 12/10/2026 |
Hotel/Stay — booking sidebar, checkout, confirmation | Stay & reservation dates | 12/10/2026 |
📌 Note: These dates automatically follow the format set on your guest's own browser or device - there's no setting to change on your end. This applies across:
Exceptions — Public Pages That Do NOT Follow Your Browser
Page (Public) | Date to Check | Follows | Why |
Public proposal | Payment "Due date" | Business setting | Must match the downloadable PDF |
E-card (the card the guest receives) | Wedding date | Whatever text the planner saved | The e-card date is free text the planner types — it's not re-formatted for the guest |
Proposal payment dates always match your business setting, so they stay consistent with the downloadable PDF
E-card dates show exactly what you typed when creating the card, since that's free text rather than an auto-formatted date
💡 Tip: Test the proposal against the business setting and its downloadable PDF - not your browser. Test the e-card against exactly what the planner saved.
