Answer 1

Change:

NSString *name = self.NameText;
NSString *invite = self.InviteText;
NSString *email = self.EmailText;
NSString *phone = self.CellText;
NSString *date = self.DateText;

to:

NSString *name = self.NameText.text;
NSString *invite = self.InviteText.text;
NSString *email = self.EmailText.text;
NSString *phone = self.CellText.text;
NSString *date = self.DateText.text;

Answer 2

You need to access the .text property of your UITextField properties

NSString *name = self.NameText.text;
NSString *invite = self.InviteText.text;
NSString *email = self.EmailText.text;
NSString *phone = self.CellText.text;
NSString *date = self.DateText.text;
