RSVP for multi-day weddings
Indian wedding RSVP website
Collect RSVPs across every function — haldi, mehndi, sangeet, ceremony, reception — for a guest list of hundreds. Invite different people to different events, and let guests reply by text, WhatsApp, or a quick name lookup. Free to start.
An Indian wedding RSVP website collects responses for a multi-day, multi-ceremony celebration, tracking a separate headcount for each function rather than a single yes-or-no. With Duva, you keep one master guest list, invite different guests to different events, and each guest RSVPs per ceremony — accepting the sangeet and reception while declining the haldi, for example. Guests can respond over SMS (US numbers) or WhatsApp (international numbers), or by looking up their name on your website, with no app or account required. You get live attending / pending / declined counts per event — the numbers caterers and venues actually need — plus automatic reminders to non-responders. It is free to set up.
Why Indian wedding RSVPs need more than one yes or no
A standard RSVP tool asks a single question: are you coming to the wedding? For an Indian wedding that question is almost meaningless. You are not hosting one event — you are hosting a haldi, a mehndi, a sangeet, the baraat, the ceremony, and a reception, and a given guest might attend three of them. If your RSVP tool only records "yes," you still have no idea how many plates to order for the sangeet or how many chairs to set for the reception.
Duva treats every ceremony as a separate RSVP. Each guest sees only the functions they are invited to and accepts or declines each one, so a college friend can confirm the reception while an aunt confirms everything from the haldi onward. Your dashboard then shows a real, per-event headcount instead of one blurred total — and that is the number you hand to your caterer, your venue, and your decorator.
- One RSVP per function. Guests accept or decline each ceremony individually, not the whole weekend at once.
- Different guests, different events. Invite everyone to the reception, keep the mehndi to close family — each event has its own list.
- Per-event headcounts. Live attending / pending / declined counts for every ceremony, ready for your caterer.
RSVP by SMS, WhatsApp, or name lookup — no app, no login
Half the battle with a big desi guest list is simply getting people to respond. Elders will not create an account, and relatives abroad will not check an email invitation. So Duva meets guests where they already are: US guests get a personalized RSVP link by SMS, family overseas gets the same invite over WhatsApp, and anyone visiting your website can just look up their name and respond. There is nothing to download and no password to remember.
Every response is tied to a real person. When you invite by text, RSVPs are SMS-verified, so the "yes" you see came from the guest you invited — not a mistyped number or a duplicate. That keeps your final counts trustworthy when there are 500 names on the list.
- SMS for US guests. A personalized RSVP link by text — verified, so responses are genuine.
- WhatsApp for guests abroad. Relatives in India, the UK, or the Gulf reply in the app they use every day.
- Name-lookup on the website. Guests find themselves by name on your site and RSVP in seconds, no login.
One tap for the whole household
Indian families RSVP as families. A single invitation often covers a couple, their kids, and a visiting grandparent, and making each person respond separately is a recipe for missing and double-counted guests. Duva supports party and household RSVP, so the head of a family confirms everyone in their group in one response — and can indicate exactly which members are attending which functions.
That single-response model is what keeps a 600-person list manageable. Instead of chasing 600 individual replies, you are tracking a few hundred household responses, each one clean and complete.
- Party / household RSVP. One person confirms their whole family — no five separate half-answers.
- Member-level detail. Mark which members attend which ceremonies, so counts stay exact.
Meal preferences and the details caterers ask for
Beyond who is coming, caterers want to know what to serve. Duva can collect meal preferences and dietary needs alongside the RSVP — vegetarian, Jain, halal, allergies — attached to the specific ceremony and guest, so your reception headcount arrives with its meal breakdown already sorted. No separate spreadsheet, no reconciling two lists the week of the wedding.
Because the responses live in one dashboard, you can filter and export exactly what each vendor needs: the sangeet attending list, the reception meal counts, the guests still pending. Everything a planner would otherwise stitch together by hand is already in one place.
- Meal preferences. Collect veg, Jain, halal, and dietary needs per guest, per event.
- Vendor-ready counts. Filter and export the exact list each caterer, venue, or decorator needs.
- Live dashboard. Watch responses roll in with real-time totals for every function.
Reminders that chase the non-responders for you
On a list of hundreds, some guests always go quiet — and manually re-contacting them is exhausting. Duva sends automatic reminders only to the guests who have not yet responded, on a schedule you choose, over the same SMS or WhatsApp channel as the original invite. You set an RSVP deadline and let the reminders do the nagging, so you are not personally texting sixty relatives the week before the haldi.
You can also schedule follow-ups tied to the wedding itself — a "one week to go" note or final logistics — so the same tool that collected the RSVP carries the conversation all the way to the day of.
- Auto-nudge non-responders. Only guests who have not replied get reminded — no one is nagged twice.
- Deadline countdowns. Schedule RSVP-deadline reminders and let Duva send them at the right time.
- Same channel throughout. Reminders go out over the same SMS or WhatsApp thread as the invitation.
Built to handle a real Indian guest list
Indian weddings routinely run from 300 to 800 guests and beyond, and Duva is built for that scale from the first import. Upload your list as a CSV or add guests by hand, tag each one to the ceremonies they are invited to, and send. Multilingual RSVP means elders can respond in Hindi or Gujarati, and you can invite family or your planner to help manage the responses so it is not all on one person.
And it is free to run the RSVP itself: the website, guest list, and RSVP collection cost nothing, with 50 message credits included. You only pay if you choose to send invitations and reminders by SMS or WhatsApp — pay-as-you-go credit packs that never expire, one credit per recipient per message, no subscription.
- Scales to 800+. Import a large list, assign guests to events, and send at scale.
- Multilingual RSVP. Guests respond in English, Hindi, or Gujarati.
- Free RSVP tools. Website, guest list, and RSVP are free; you only pay to send messages.

Frequently asked questions
How do guests RSVP to different ceremonies separately?
Each guest sees only the functions they are invited to and accepts or declines each one individually. A guest can confirm the sangeet and reception while declining the haldi, and Duva keeps a separate attending count for every ceremony — so your caterer gets an accurate headcount per event, not one blurred total.
Can I invite different guests to different events?
Yes. You keep one master guest list and assign each guest to the specific ceremonies they are invited to. Everyone might be invited to the reception while the mehndi stays limited to close family — each event has its own guest list and its own headcount.
How do guests RSVP without an app or account?
US guests get a personalized RSVP link by SMS, international guests get the same invite over WhatsApp, and anyone can look up their name on your wedding website and respond there. There is nothing to download and no account to create — guests just tap and reply.
Can one person RSVP for their whole family?
Yes. Duva supports party and household RSVP, so the head of a family confirms everyone in their group in a single response and can mark which members are attending which functions. That keeps a large guest list clean instead of collecting scattered individual replies.
Can I collect meal preferences and dietary needs?
Yes. Duva can gather meal preferences and dietary requirements — vegetarian, Jain, halal, allergies — alongside the RSVP, attached to the specific guest and ceremony, so your headcount arrives with its meal breakdown ready for the caterer.
How does Duva handle a very large guest list?
Duva is built for Indian-scale lists of 300 to 800 guests and beyond. You import your list, tag each guest to their events, and send; household RSVP keeps responses consolidated, automatic reminders chase non-responders, and you can invite family or a planner to help manage everything.
Is the RSVP tool really free?
Yes. The wedding website, guest list, and RSVP collection are free, with 50 message credits included. You only pay if you choose to send invitations and reminders by SMS or WhatsApp, using credit packs ($40, $99, or $165) that never expire. There is no subscription.
