When the guest responds to the rsvp it does not show their full name when they access
Tracey, 6 February, 2024 at 15:44

Guest clicks on the online RSVP, her name is Amanda Jones, it shows in the RSVP as Amanda J which does not look great for guests. No idea what is causing this - any ideas? Same format for everyone?...
