Private invitations

Invite the group.
Protect the trip.

A host can prepare one invitation or a group send, add a short personal note, and review everything before Curly delivers a separate email to each traveler.

Request to host a trip

From host to guest

One send. Clear boundaries.

  1. 01

    The host prepares the send

    Add one traveler or a group by name and email. A host may include one optional note of up to 240 characters.

  2. 02

    The host reviews and approves

    Curly shows the recipient list, delivery method, and note before anything is sent. The host makes the final send decision.

  3. 03

    Each traveler gets a separate email

    Group send is an efficiency for the host—not a group email. Curly sends individual messages with separate, identity-bound invitation links. Recipients are never exposed through CC or BCC.

  4. 04

    The guest verifies first

    The invitation page asks the traveler to verify the invited email address. Curly does not add destination, dates, members, plans, or other private trip fields before verification; the host’s optional note is the clearly labeled exception.

  5. 05

    The guest chooses to join

    Verification proves control of the invited address; it does not silently join the trip. The traveler reviews the invitation and explicitly accepts membership before entering the workspace.

What appears before verification

Enough context to recognize the invitation. No private trip record.

The email can identify Curly, the host, and the host’s optional note. Because that note is visible before verification, the host is prompted to keep sensitive trip information out of it.

Visible

Host name, Curly branding, and the optional short note.

Hidden

Destination, dates, guest list, itinerary, expenses, and shared trip context.

Private delivery

Every recipient gets a distinct email and link. No shared recipient list.

Email first

SMS stays separate and optional.

An email invitation does not enroll a traveler in text messages. After verifying and joining, a member may separately choose to verify a phone number and opt in to private 1:1 Curly SMS. Declining SMS does not block the web workspace.

Good to know

Invitation questions

Can a host invite several people at once?

Yes. Group send lets a host prepare and approve multiple invitations together. Delivery remains individual for every traveler.

Can guests see who else was invited?

Not from the invitation email. Curly does not use CC or BCC, and private trip membership is not revealed before verification and acceptance.

What if an invitation goes to the wrong address?

The identity-bound link does not grant access by itself. The traveler must verify control of the invited email address, and the host can manage pending invitations from the private workspace.
