Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ 15)

The most common questions when creating and sharing wedding calendar links.

Q1. Does clicking the button automatically add the event to the guest's calendar?
Yes. Google, Naver, and Outlook buttons open a pre-filled event creation form — the guest just clicks 'Save.' Apple Calendar opens a .ics file that prompts 'Save' or 'Add to Calendar.'
Q2. I clicked the link in KakaoTalk and only the Google login page appeared.
KakaoTalk's in-app browser runs in an isolated session separate from Chrome, so Google login may not carry over. Advise guests to tap the three-dot menu and 'Open in Chrome/Safari,' or provide the .ics download button as an alternative.
Q3. Do I really need to generate links for all 4 platforms?
Yes — you can't predict what device your guests use. In Korea, roughly 70% use Android + Google Calendar, 25% use iPhone, and 10–20% use Naver Calendar. A 4-button + .ics combo provides the safest MECE coverage.
Q4. What happens if I leave the end time blank?
It defaults to start time + 2 hours — a reasonable estimate covering the ceremony (30 min), post-ceremony photos/pe-baek (30 min), and dining (1 hour).
Q5. How many reminder alerts will guests receive?
The default is 2 alerts: 1 day before and 1 hour before (VALARM DISPLAY, TRIGGER -PT1440M / -PT60M). Guests can add more alerts in their own calendar app.
Q6. Will the time display correctly for international guests?
Yes. The .ics file explicitly states TZID=Asia/Seoul, so the event automatically converts to local time for guests in the US, Europe, Australia, or anywhere else. Google Calendar links also include ctz=Asia/Seoul for the same behavior.
Q7. If I enter the venue address, does it link to a map?
Google Calendar automatically links the location field to Google Maps; Apple Calendar links to Apple Maps. Naver shows the text only. Use the full street address for the most accurate map matching.
Q8. Does it work for February 29 (leap day) weddings?
Yes, it works correctly. Since this is a one-time event (no RRULE recurrence), all 4 platforms save a February 29 date as-is.
Q9. How do I edit the links/ICS after generating them?
This tool doesn't store data server-side, so there is no 'edit' — just re-generate. Change any value in the form and the links and .ics update immediately. Links already shared cannot be recalled, so confirm everything before distributing.
Q10. Can I embed the links in a mobile invitation (Happymerry, Alimjang, Kakao)?
Most mobile invitation platforms support 'custom HTML' or 'external link' blocks. Copy the 4 links and replace the URL placeholders in the HTML snippet from the Guide page.
Q11. Which platform does the QR code point to?
It encodes the Google Calendar link — the most universally recognized. Both Android and iOS cameras open it immediately. For Apple-heavy guest lists, you can generate an additional .ics download QR separately.
Q12. The URL is very long. Can I shorten it?
Use a URL shortener like Naver me2.do or Bitly (free plan). A shorter URL also generates a smaller, cleaner QR code.
Q13. Is the information I enter stored on a server?
No. All link, ICS, and QR generation happens entirely in browser-side JavaScript. Open the browser's Network tab and you'll see no external API calls. Closing the page clears all data.
Q14. Can I use this for a first birthday party, 60th birthday, or company workshop?
Technically yes — the ICS spec is the same. However, this tool is optimized for wedding scenarios (title and description templates). Dedicated tools for other events may be added to bal.pe.kr later.
Q15. Does it work with Outlook (Office 365 / corporate Exchange)?
Outlook.com / Live Mail / Hotmail accounts work directly. For Office 365 Business or Exchange accounts, the .ics file download is the safest option.
