Can a guest change their reply?

Plans change. Every guest has exactly one reply on your invitation, and a new answer replaces it rather than adding a second.

How a guest changes their reply

1. 1They open the invitation again, ideally through their personal link.
2. 2Under the thank-you card they choose Change my reply. The form reopens filled in with their last answer, headcount, extra names, days, dietary note, answers and message.
3. 3They change what they need and choose Update RSVP.

The new reply replaces the old one, your dashboard updates straight away, and you get the same alert as for a new reply, e-mail and app alike. Reminder e-mails carry a Change RSVP link that opens the form directly.

On the shared link, the thank-you card lasts only until the page is reloaded, but a later reply with the same e-mail or phone still updates the earlier one. See personal link vs shared link.

What changes with it

• A new e-mail or phone typed on the form updates the guest's row, so messages go to the new address. Leaving it blank keeps what is on file.
• A confirmed guest who keeps the same answer with the same or fewer people stays confirmed. A bigger party or a different answer goes back through approval or the capacity check, where those are on.
• A guest who first replied through the shared link may always reply for at least 1 plus your Plus ones, even on their personal link, so they can grow their party when they return.

Once replies have closed

After the RSVP deadline, or when Accept RSVPs is off, a returning guest still sees their recorded reply with "Replies are closed now." Reopen replies if you want to allow changes.

Changing a reply for a guest

On the website:

1. 1Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Guests & RSVPs.
2. 2Choose the pencil icon on the guest.
3. 3In Coming (from their reply), type the number they told you, counting themselves and no more than their passes. For a guest with no reply or a No, typing a number records a confirmed Yes for them.
4. 4Save.

The answer itself (Yes or Maybe), its approval status and their other answers are not changed on the website, and the guest is not e-mailed. The mobile app lets you change a guest's answer and headcount as well. See edit or remove a guest.
