How to set up an online RSVP

Create your event

Add the basics: title, date, time, and location. That is enough to publish a page and start collecting replies.

Choose what to collect

Turn on only the fields you need. Going, Maybe, and Can't plus a name is the default; add more when the event calls for it.

• Plus-ones with a cap you set
• Meal choices and dietary notes
• One custom question
• An RSVP deadline

Share the link and track replies

Share the link or a QR code by text, email, or on the invitation. Responses land on your dashboard live, so you always know the headcount.

Export the list to CSV when you need to hand it to a caterer or venue.

Write event details that answer questions first

The details you add to the page are the difference between a smooth event and a flurry of texts. Include the full address, parking or transit notes, the start time, and anything guests tend to ask, like a dress code or whether kids are welcome.

A guest who finds everything on the RSVP page rarely needs to message you, which is the whole point of putting it in one place.

Follow up without nagging

Set an RSVP deadline so replies have a natural cutoff, and check the dashboard as it approaches. For the handful who have not answered, a single friendly reminder a few days before the deadline usually does it. Because responses update live, you always know exactly who is still outstanding.
