Describe your event. AI builds your microsite.
"Sarah & Tom · outdoor wedding in Sonoma · September 2027 · vintage romantic · 120 guests · honeymoon fund instead of registry." Hit Generate. Edit anything. Publish.
Four steps. Honest about the wait.
- Prompt — describe vibe, vertical, key details. Or tap a vertical chip for a head start.
- Generate — typical 5–12 seconds. We don't claim "instant" because it isn't.
- Preview — one polished draft on Plus; three to compare on Pro.
- Refine or accept — one-line refinement ("more formal", "add brunch the next morning") regenerates in place. Accept and the editor opens pre-filled.
Anything that fits in a sentence.
- "Boho beach wedding, sage and terracotta, August 24, 80 guests, Crate & Barrel registry."
- "Baby Reyes shower, sage & cream, April Sunday brunch, books-instead-of-cards."
- "Maya turns 40, disco night, Brooklyn warehouse, donations to literacy fund."
- "After 35 years, Pat retires, lake clubhouse, travel-fund contributions."

Frequently asked.
If we missed yours, contact us and we'll add it here.
What's actually free?
Everything on the Free tier list above — one microsite, 30 templates, RSVP up to 100, registry, gallery, story, schedule, thank-you tracker, gishme.com/o/{slug} URL. Free forever. The only differences vs paid: a small "Powered by Gish" footer pill, and you can't connect a custom domain.
What's the footer about?
Free and Plus microsites show a small "Powered by Gish" footer. Pro and Business can remove all branding (white-label). If you'd like, you can switch the footer to "Powered by Inkgility" (our paper partner) in Settings on any tier.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes — bring an existing domain for free on Plus, or buy a new one in-app for $20/yr (auto-renews, SSL included). Setup takes about 2 minutes for a new purchase; bringing your own takes a few extra minutes while DNS propagates.
Can I transfer my domain to Gish?
Yes — provide your auth code (EPP code) from your current registrar and we'll handle the rest. Takes 5–7 days (industry-wide ICANN timeline, not Gish-specific). No transfer fee.
Which registries / stores are compatible?
Any store with a public product URL. Amazon, Target, Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, REI, IKEA, Etsy, indie Shopify shops, Bookshop.org — if it has a link, it works. Gish's Smart Routing handles checkout.
Can I password-protect my microsite?
Yes on Pro tier. Memorial templates ship password-protected on Free by default; everything else on Free is public.
What are the gallery limits?
Free: up to 200 photos, ~1 GB. Plus: 2 GB. Pro: 5 GB. Business: unlimited. Videos: Plus and above, MP4 / MOV.
How does RSVP work?
Guests RSVP by name or email. You can require login or allow anonymous. CSV export anytime. Free caps at 100 RSVPs; Plus and above are unlimited.
I already have a Gish wishlist. Does the microsite use it?
Yes — same account, same wishes. Your existing wishlist becomes the registry section of the microsite. Add or remove items in either place; they stay in sync.
How does AI generation work?
You describe your event in plain language — vibe, vertical, key details — and Gish picks a matching template, drafts the story, sets the palette, and pre-fills every section. Typical generation takes 5–12 seconds. Plus: one polished draft per generation, 10 generations/month. Pro: three variants side-by-side per generation, 30 generations/month. Nothing is published until you hit publish.
What about paper invitations?
Inkgility is our paper partner. Order matching invitations, programs, and signage in one click directly from inside your Gish editor — same design language, one checkout. Plus gets 5% off, Pro 8%, Business 10%.
Can I migrate from Zola or The Knot?
You can paste registry URLs from any platform into Gish — we'll re-fetch product details. For RSVP and guest lists, CSV import is on the Plus tier. We don't currently auto-pull from competitors' APIs.
