One of the biggest requests we get from LDS members is for an easy way to share temple reservations with family and friends. A new feature on the temple reservation page does just that. Now, you can send temple names from your temple reservation list to others that are ready and willing to bring them to the temple. Here’s how it works:
To share a Reservation with Family or Friends
- Check the box next to any ancestor reservation you would like to give to a friend or family member to complete. Click Share and Share with Family or Friends.
- Enter the name and email address of the family or friend recipient, and then click Send.
- Shared reservations will be marked with an envelope icon and remain on your reservation list until they are accepted by your family or friend.
- When accepted, the reservation will disappear from your list. If your invitation is not accepted in 2 weeks, the share envelope icon will be removed, allowing you to print, share, or unreserve your ancestor reservation again.
FamilySearch has created a short video titled, Share Reserved Ordinances with Family and Friends. It visually walks you through each step and helps you see how easy it is to share temple reserved names with your own family members and friends.
This new feature makes it easier than ever for families to collaborate in the work of salvation for ancestors. It also gives people with large reservation lists a way to share the blessings of temple service with others while ensuring that temple ordinances are completed in a timely manner.
Visit your temple reservation page and try it out. There are blessings in it for you and for the ancestors you provide ordinances for on the other side of the veil.
