RSVPs & replies
Can guests reply for each day or function?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
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.
A wedding weekend or a multi-day festival rarely has the same guests at every function. Nimanto lets guests say which parts they will join, and shows you the headcount for each.
How the choices are made
- Each day of the schedule is one choice. All functions on that day are its programme, answered together, so cake, games and dinner at one party are one answer.
- A function without a date of its own is taken to be on the invitation's date.
- A function with Separate RSVP switched on, in the schedule editor, is its own choice apart from its day. Use it for the rare function guests genuinely choose separately, such as an evening reception.
- Choices are listed in time order. The picker appears only when there is more than one, and only when the RSVP block asks about days. See schedule and functions.
What guests see
After choosing Yes or Maybe, the form shows Which days will you join? (or Which will you join? once a day has a separate function), with every choice ticked. A Yes that ticked nothing specific counts for all functions.
What you see
Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Guests & RSVPs. With more than one choice, a Show guests for row sits above the summary card:
- All functions, with the whole invitation's headcount, and a Functions column showing each guest's answer per function as small pills: green with a tick for coming, amber for maybe or awaiting approval, grey with a cross for not coming, white for no reply.
- One chip per choice, with its day, time and coming count. Functions answered together on one day share a chip.
Pick a function and the summary card, both lists, the filters and the exports follow it. The Reply column becomes Reply for this function, and a guest who said yes to other functions only reads Not coming to this one. The Responses tab's Attending column lists the functions each guest chose.
Messages and exports
Message guests is not narrowed to a function: its audiences are everyone, by answer, no reply, awaiting approval or a group. Exports are per function or, in All functions, with one column per function. See export guests.
