# Release note — event host contact

**Action required after deploying. Every existing event needs editing before guests open
their invitations.**

## What changed for guests

The invitation now ends with a host block:

```
                Invited By
      Abdul Karim And Rahima Karim
              +8801711223344
```

It replaces the bare phone number that used to sit at the bottom of the page with no name
attached. That number was wedding-wide — the same for every ceremony — which was wrong
whenever the Mehedi and the Walima are hosted by different families.

## What changed for you

Creating an event now asks for a **host name** and a **host phone**, both required, plus an
optional **second host name**. The same three fields are in the event editor, in a new Host
section just above Card design.

**The host is the parent or parents holding the event — not the bride and groom.** One name
renders alone; two render joined by "And".

## What the upgrade did to your existing events

It could not know who your hosts are. Nothing in the system has ever stored a parent's name,
and writing the couple's names would have printed a statement that is simply false on every
invitation. So it wrote placeholders instead:

| Field | What it now holds |
|---|---|
| Host name | `Set host name` on **every** pre-existing event |
| Second host name | empty |
| Host phone | your wedding's existing contact number, or `+880000000000` if you never set one |

Both placeholders are deliberately obvious. `+880000000000` is not a real Bangladeshi number
and reaches nobody — chosen so that an uncorrected event fails visibly rather than connecting
a guest to a stranger.

## What to do

1. Open **Events** in the admin.
2. Open each event and fill in the Host section with the real host name(s) and phone.
3. Save. Anything still reading `Set host name` or `+880000000000` has not been done.

Until an event is corrected, guests who open its invitation will see the placeholder text.
There is no way to hide it: the block is required, and hiding an unset required field would
mean an invitation that silently names nobody.
