Jewish weddings
Jewish wedding website
One free website for the whole simcha — the ceremony under the chuppah, the reception with the hora, and the events around them like an aufruf, a Shabbat dinner, or a rehearsal dinner. Guests RSVP to each event by text, WhatsApp, or name lookup, and you collect kosher and dietary needs along the way.

A Jewish wedding website hosts your ceremony and reception alongside the events around them — an aufruf at synagogue, a Shabbat dinner, a rehearsal dinner, the ketubah signing, or sheva brachot meals in the week after — and lets guests RSVP to each one separately. With Duva you add every event yourself with its own description, time, location, and dress code, keep one master guest list, and invite different guests to different events, so a cousin can accept the reception while close family accepts the whole weekend. Guests reply over SMS (US numbers) or WhatsApp (international numbers) or by looking up their name on the site — no app or account — and you collect kosher and dietary preferences with the RSVP. It is free to set up, with 50 free credits included. Duva builds weddings for every religion; this is how it adapts to a Jewish one.
A website for the chuppah, the reception, and everything around them
A Jewish wedding is rarely just the ceremony and the party. There is often an aufruf, when the couple is called to the Torah on the Shabbat before the wedding; a Shabbat dinner that welcomes out-of-town family; a rehearsal dinner; the ketubah signing and bedeken before the ceremony itself; and, for many families, sheva brachot — festive meals through the week that follows. Duva gives all of it a single home, so guests find the chuppah, the reception, and each surrounding event in one place instead of scattered across group texts and emails.
You add each event in your own words: what it is, when it starts, where it happens, and what to wear. Because Duva is a general wedding engine rather than a template locked to one tradition, you name the events yourself — an Ashkenazi aufruf, a Sephardi Shabbat gathering, a Sunday brunch — and it tracks each one the same clean way. The site pulls your events into one schedule your guests can read at a glance.
- One schedule, every event. Aufruf, Shabbat dinner, ceremony, reception, and sheva brachot in a single timeline.
- The ceremony explained. Describe the chuppah, the ketubah, the seven blessings, and breaking the glass in your own words.
- One address for everyone. Family near and far use the same custom website link — no logins, no apps.
RSVP per event — not one yes for the whole weekend
Guests are not always invited to everything, and even when they are, they do not attend everything. A friend might come only to the ceremony and reception; a great-aunt might join the Shabbat dinner and stay through sheva brachot; a colleague might make just the party. A single yes-or-no cannot capture that, and it leaves you guessing at every headcount.
Duva treats each event as its own RSVP. You keep one master guest list, assign each guest to the events they are invited to, and every guest accepts or declines each event individually. Your dashboard then shows a real attending / pending / declined count for the ceremony, the reception, the Shabbat dinner, and each meal after — the numbers your caterer and venue actually need, kept separate instead of blurred into one total.
- One RSVP per event. Guests reply to each event on its own, not to the whole weekend at once.
- Different guests, different events. Invite everyone to the reception and keep the Shabbat dinner to close family and out-of-towners.
- Per-event headcounts. Live counts for the chuppah, the reception, and every meal — ready for the caterer.
Kosher and dietary needs, collected with the RSVP
Kashrut and dietary requirements are part of planning a Jewish wedding, and they belong with the RSVP rather than on a separate spreadsheet you reconcile the week of. Duva can collect meal preferences and dietary needs alongside each guest’s response — vegetarian, gluten-free, nut allergies, and any note a guest wants to add — attached to the specific event and guest. Your reception headcount then arrives with its meal breakdown already sorted.
You describe the catering in your own words, too: whether a meal is glatt kosher, kosher-style, or dairy, and anything your caterer needs guests to know. Because every response lives in one dashboard, you can filter and export exactly what each vendor needs — the reception attending list, its meal counts, the guests still pending — without stitching two lists together by hand.
- Meal preferences per guest. Collect vegetarian, gluten-free, allergy, and other needs tied to each guest and event.
- Vendor-ready counts. Filter and export the exact meal breakdown your caterer and venue ask for.
- One live dashboard. Watch responses and meal choices roll in with real-time totals for every event.
RSVP by SMS, WhatsApp, or name lookup — no app, no login
Jewish families are often spread across the country and around the world — relatives in Israel, the UK, or across Europe alongside guests down the road. Duva reaches all of them automatically: US numbers get a personalized RSVP link by SMS, international numbers get the same invitation over WhatsApp, and anyone visiting the site can look up their name and respond there. There is nothing to download and no password to remember, which matters when grandparents are on the list.
Every response is confirmed with a one-time code, so the counts you hand your caterer and venue came from the guests you actually invited. One person can also RSVP for their whole household in a single reply — a couple, their kids, a visiting parent — and mark who is attending which events, so a large family list stays clean instead of collecting scattered half-answers.
- SMS for US guests. A personalized, verified RSVP link texted to every US number.
- WhatsApp for family abroad. Relatives in Israel, the UK, or Europe reply in the app they use every day.
- One tap for the household. Party and household RSVP lets one guest confirm the whole family per event.
Schedule, travel, registry, and Hebrew touches
Beyond RSVP, your site carries the details guests keep coming back for. A Travel page holds hotel blocks, airport notes, and Shabbat-observant timing for anyone not driving; a Gallery shares photos; a Registry links a native gift list where guests claim items directly (Duva’s registry is claim-only and processes no payments); an FAQ answers the recurring questions; and an Our Story page introduces the couple. It is a full multi-page site — Home, Schedule, Travel, Gallery, Registry, FAQ, and Our Story — not a single card.
You write every description yourself, so Hebrew terms and transliteration are yours to include: name the chuppah, the ketubah, the bedeken, the hora, or the sheva brachot exactly as your family says them, with a short English note for guests seeing them for the first time. Duva’s automatic full-page translation covers English, Hindi, and Gujarati for multilingual families; any Hebrew you want on the page you type directly into your event and page text, where it reads just as you intend.
- Travel & hotel blocks. Give out-of-town and Shabbat-observant guests everything they need to plan.
- Native gift registry. A claim-only registry guests browse and reserve from — no payments processed.
- Password protection. Keep the site to invited guests with a passcode, plus a QR code and custom link.
Made for Reform, Conservative, or Orthodox — your way
Jewish practice varies, and so does the wedding. A Reform celebration may lean egalitarian, with both partners circling and an egalitarian ketubah; a Conservative wedding blends tradition with contemporary touches; an Orthodox one may include a tish, separate dancing, and a full week of sheva brachot. Because Duva does not assume one script, it fits whichever you are planning: you add the events your family observes, describe each ceremony as it will actually unfold, and set who is invited to what.
The RSVP itself is free to run. The website, the master guest list, RSVP collection, and the RSVP invitations and reminders you send over SMS and WhatsApp all cost nothing, and every account starts with 50 free credits. Credits only apply to the extra messages you broadcast to guests yourself — a day-of note like "the ceremony begins at 5, please be seated by 4:45" or a shuttle time — at one credit per recipient. One-time credit packs ($40, $99, or $165) never expire, and there is no subscription. Duva builds weddings for couples of every religion; a Jewish wedding is simply one of the celebrations it adapts to.
- Fits any observance. Add only the events your family keeps, described in your own words.
- Reminders that chase for you. Automatic nudges go only to guests who have not replied to an event yet.
- Free RSVP tools. Website, RSVP, invites, and reminders are free — credits only cover your own announcements.

Frequently asked questions
Can I put my ceremony and reception plus events like an aufruf on one website?
Yes. You add every event yourself — the ceremony under the chuppah, the reception, an aufruf, a Shabbat dinner, a rehearsal dinner, the ketubah signing, or sheva brachot — each with its own description, time, location, and dress code, all on a single site with one shared link.
Can guests RSVP to each event separately?
Yes. Duva keeps one master guest list, and you assign each guest to the events they’re invited to. Every guest accepts or declines each event individually, and each event tracks its own attending, pending, and declined count — so your caterer gets an accurate headcount per event, not one blurred total.
Can I collect kosher and dietary preferences?
Yes. Duva can gather meal preferences and dietary needs — vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies, and free-text notes — alongside the RSVP, attached to the specific guest and event, so your reception headcount arrives with its meal breakdown ready for the caterer.
How do relatives in Israel or abroad RSVP?
Duva sends the RSVP invitation by SMS to US numbers and by WhatsApp to international numbers automatically, and guests can also look up their name on the website and respond there. There’s no app to download and no account to create, and every response is verified with a one-time code.
Does Duva work for Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox weddings?
Yes. Duva doesn’t assume one script — you add only the events your family observes and describe each ceremony as it will actually unfold, whether that’s an egalitarian ceremony, a tish and separate dancing, or a full week of sheva brachot. It adapts to your observance rather than the other way around.
Can I include Hebrew on the site?
You write every event and page description yourself, so you can include Hebrew terms and transliteration exactly as your family says them — chuppah, ketubah, bedeken, hora, sheva brachot — with a short English note for guests new to them. Duva’s automatic full-page translation covers English, Hindi, and Gujarati; any Hebrew you want appears in the text you type directly.
How much does a Jewish wedding website cost?
The website, guest list, RSVP collection, and the RSVP invitations and reminders you text or WhatsApp guests are all free, with no subscription, and every account starts with 50 free credits. Credits only cover extra messages you broadcast yourself — like a day-of announcement — at one credit per recipient, and one-time packs ($40, $99, or $165) never expire.
