RSVPs & replies
What are guests asked when they reply?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
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.
The reply form sits inside the invitation, so a guest replies on the same page they opened. Here is what they see, in order.
The answer
Three buttons: Yes, Maybe and No. Their wording follows your RSVP button style ("Joyfully accept" and "Regretfully decline", or "Yes, I'll be there!" and "Can't make it"). Maybe shows only while Guests can RSVP "Maybe" is on. If you set a capacity and it is already reached, a notice says a Yes puts them on the waitlist.
Their details
- Your name, pre-filled on a personal link.
- Email and Phone when you have no e-mail on file for them, which is always the case on the shared link. The e-mail is required so you can reach them; the phone is optional.
- On a personal link with an e-mail on file, the form shows the contact masked ("Updates go to k…[email protected]") with Change.
On a Yes or Maybe
- Number of guests, when the design asks for a headcount and they may bring more than one. Their maximum is their passes on a personal link, or 1 plus your Plus ones on the shared link. See plus-ones.
- Guest 2 name, Guest 3 name and so on, when Require names is on.
- Which days will you join? when the schedule gives more than one choice. See reply per function.
- Dietary requirements, when the design asks for them.
- Your questionnaire questions, with a star on required ones.
For any answer
- Chip in toward a gift? when the registry has a group gift. It is a promise, not a payment.
- A message for the hosts (optional), when the design asks for one.
- The send button, which reads Request to join when approval is on, Update RSVP when they replied before, or the design's own label.
After sending
A short card confirms the outcome: "See you there!" for a confirmed Yes, "Fingers crossed!" for a Maybe, "We'll miss you" for a No, "Request sent" while you approve, or "You're on the waitlist". Under it they see their reply, Change my reply, and, when Guests can invite friends is on and they did not say No, a button to share the invitation on WhatsApp using the shared link.
