  2. What are guests asked when they reply?Guests choose Yes, Maybe or No, confirm their name and e-mail, and say how many are coming. On a Yes or Maybe they can pick days, add dietary requirements, answer your questions and chip in toward a group gift. Anyone can leave a message. 2 min read
  3. How do plus-ones and passes work?Each guest you add has passes: the most people their personal link can reply for, counting themselves. The Plus ones setting in RSVP settings is for the shared link instead: 1 plus up to 10 extra. Turn on Require names to collect every extra guest's name. 2 min read
  4. Can guests reply for each day or function?Yes. Each day of your schedule is one choice on the reply form, and a function with Separate RSVP switched on is a choice of its own. Guests tick what they will join; the Guests page shows counts, filters and exports per function. 2 min read
  5. How do I approve replies or keep a waitlist?In RSVP settings, switch on Require guest approval to confirm each reply yourself, or set Max capacity so further Yes replies join a waitlist. Review them under Guests & RSVPs, Responses, with Approve and Decline. Approved and declined guests are e-mailed. 2 min read
  6. Can a guest change their reply?Yes. A guest opens their link again, chooses Change my reply and sends the new answer, which replaces the old one; your dashboard updates and you get the usual alert. In Edit guest you can correct how many are coming or record a Yes a guest gave you in person. 2 min read

  9. How am I told when a guest replies?With Host notifications on under the invitation's Search & notifications, an e-mail reaches you for every reply and change of reply.
