For the Nikah, the Walima, and everything around them
Muslim wedding website
A free wedding website and RSVP built for the way a Muslim wedding actually runs — the Nikah, the Walima, and a Mehndi or Mayun where held. Invite different guests to different events, collect halal and dietary meal preferences, and let family reply by text or WhatsApp. Free to start.

A Muslim wedding website is a single online home for your celebration that publishes your schedule, travel details, and RSVP for each event separately — most commonly the Nikah (the marriage ceremony and contract) and the Walima (the reception feast the groom’s family traditionally hosts), plus a Mehndi or Mayun where those are held. With Duva you keep one master guest list, invite different people to different events, and each guest RSVPs per event — so a close relative can be invited to both the Nikah and the Walima while a colleague is invited to the Walima only. Guests reply over SMS (US numbers) or WhatsApp (international numbers), or by looking up their name on your site, with no app or account. You can collect halal and dietary meal preferences alongside each response, and it is free to set up. Duva supports weddings of every religion and adapts to whichever events you name.
A website that respects the Nikah and the Walima as separate events
A Muslim wedding is rarely a single gathering. The Nikah is the marriage ceremony itself — the reading, the consent, and the signing of the marriage contract (nikah-nama) before witnesses — and it may be intimate or large depending on your family. The Walima is the reception feast that traditionally follows, often on a separate day and often hosted by the groom’s family, where the wider community is welcomed. Treating those as one lumped “wedding” event makes it impossible to know who is coming to which, or how many plates each host needs to order.
Duva lets you publish each event on its own, with its own date, location, timing, and guest list. A guest opens your website, sees exactly the events they are invited to, and RSVPs to each one. Your dashboard then shows a real, separate headcount for the Nikah and the Walima — the numbers your caterer and venue actually ask for — instead of one blurred total.
- Nikah and Walima as their own events. Each event gets its own date, venue, timing, and guest list — never conflated into one.
- Different guests, different events. Keep the Nikah close, open the Walima to the whole community — each event has its own list.
- A separate headcount per event. Live attending, pending, and declined counts for the Nikah and the Walima independently.
Add a Mehndi, Mayun, or any event your family holds
Many Muslim families — particularly across South Asian communities — hold a Mehndi or Mayun in the days before the Nikah, with henna, music, and close family. Others host a reception on each family’s side, or cultural gatherings unique to their heritage. Duva does not assume a fixed template. You name the events your wedding actually has, in the order and on the days you hold them, and the site and RSVP build themselves around your list.
Because you are naming the events, the same site works whether your family is South Asian, Arab, Turkish, West African, Southeast Asian, or anywhere else. Duva is a general guest, RSVP, website, and planning engine that adapts to your traditions — it tracks whatever you tell it, rather than forcing your celebration into someone else’s idea of a wedding.
- You name the events. Add a Mehndi, Mayun, Nikah, Walima, or anything else — as many as your celebration needs.
- For every Muslim community. South Asian, Arab, Turkish, African, Southeast Asian — the site adapts to your customs.
- Independent per-event RSVP. Each event is tracked on its own, so a Mehndi guest is not assumed to be at the Walima.
Nikah RSVP by SMS, WhatsApp, or name lookup — no app, no login
The hardest part of any big guest list is simply getting people to respond. Elders will not create an account, and relatives abroad will not open 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 look up their name and reply. There is nothing to download and no password to remember.
Every text-invited response is SMS-verified, so the “yes” you see came from the guest you invited — not a mistyped number or a duplicate. That keeps your Nikah and Walima counts trustworthy even when there are hundreds of names on the list, and it works the same whether a guest is confirming one event or all of them.
- SMS for US guests. A personalized RSVP link by text — verified, so responses are genuine.
- WhatsApp for family abroad. Relatives in Pakistan, the Gulf, the UK, or anywhere reply in the app they use daily.
- Name lookup on your site. Guests find themselves by name on your website and RSVP in seconds, no login.
One response for the whole household
Muslim families often RSVP as families — a couple, their children, and visiting parents under a single invitation. Making each person respond separately invites 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 mark exactly which members are attending the Nikah, the Walima, or the Mehndi.
That single-response model is what keeps a large list manageable. Instead of chasing hundreds of individual replies, you are tracking a few hundred clean household responses — each one complete, each one tied to the right events.
- Household RSVP. One person confirms their whole family in a single reply.
- Member-level detail. Mark which members attend which events, so every headcount stays exact.
Halal and dietary meal preferences, collected with the RSVP
For a Walima, the food is the point — and caterers need to know more than a headcount. Duva can collect meal preferences and dietary needs alongside each RSVP: halal, vegetarian, allergies, and any restrictions, attached to the specific guest and event. Your Walima headcount then arrives with its meal breakdown already sorted, so there is no separate spreadsheet to reconcile the week of the wedding.
Because every response lives in one dashboard, you can filter and export exactly what each vendor needs — the Walima attending list, the meal counts, the guests still pending. Everything a planner would otherwise stitch together by hand is already in one place.
- Halal & dietary needs. Collect halal, vegetarian, and allergy details per guest, per event.
- Vendor-ready counts. Filter and export the exact list your caterer or venue asks for.
- Live dashboard. Watch responses roll in with real-time totals for every event.
Schedule, travel, and a multi-page site guests actually use
Your website is more than an RSVP form. Duva gives you a multi-page site — Home, Schedule, Travel, Gallery, Registry, FAQ, and Our Story — so out-of-town family can find the Nikah address, the Walima venue, hotel blocks, and timings without texting you one at a time. You can protect the site with a password, share it with a QR code and a custom link, and publish in English, Hindi, or Gujarati so elders read it in their own language.
You can also pick from 25+ animated save-the-dates to announce the date early, add a native gift registry where guests claim items (claim-only, no payments taken on Duva), and invite family or a planner to help manage everything. Send save-the-dates and RSVP invitations free — they ride the same free RSVP link.
- Schedule & travel pages. Nikah and Walima addresses, hotel blocks, and timings in one place.
- Multilingual site. Publish in English, Hindi, or Gujarati for family and elders.
- Password & QR sharing. Keep the site private and share it by QR code or a custom link.
What it costs
Duva is free to set up — your wedding website, guest list, RSVP collection, and the RSVP invitations and automatic reminders you send over SMS and WhatsApp all cost nothing. Save-the-dates are free too; they ride the same free RSVP invite. Credits are only for the extra messages you broadcast to guests yourself, like a day-of “the Nikah begins at 5” note or a venue change. Every account starts with 50 free credits; if you need more, one-time packs ($40, $99, or $165) never expire, at one credit per recipient. There is no subscription.
Two optional one-time upgrades exist if you want them: Planner Pro ($49) adds seating charts and, where enabled, an AI planning assistant with a daily email digest; DUVA Signature ($39) unlocks premium save-the-date designs, a custom palette, a monogram, and removes Duva branding from the save-the-date card. Neither is required, and neither is a subscription — the core website and RSVP stay free.
- Free website & RSVP. RSVP invites and reminders are free on SMS and WhatsApp — credits only cover your own broadcast announcements.
- Day-of announcements. Broadcast messages you send yourself cost 1 credit per recipient; you start with 50 free.
- Optional upgrades. Planner Pro ($49) and DUVA Signature ($39) are one-time, never subscriptions.

Frequently asked questions
Can guests RSVP to the Nikah and the Walima separately?
Yes. Duva treats each event as its own RSVP. A guest sees only the events they are invited to and accepts or declines each one, so someone can confirm the Walima while another attends both the Nikah and the Walima. Your dashboard keeps a separate headcount for each event, which is what your caterer and venue need.
What is the difference between the Nikah and the Walima on the site?
They are set up as two distinct events. The Nikah is the marriage ceremony and contract; the Walima is the reception feast that traditionally follows, often on another day. In Duva each has its own date, venue, timing, and guest list, so guests RSVP to them independently and you never confuse who is coming to which.
Can I add a Mehndi or Mayun to the wedding website?
Yes. You name the events your celebration actually has, so you can add a Mehndi, a Mayun, or any other gathering alongside the Nikah and Walima. Duva does not assume a fixed template — each event you add gets its own page, guest list, and RSVP.
How do family members overseas RSVP?
International guests reply over WhatsApp, the app most family abroad already use, while US guests get a personalized RSVP link by SMS. Anyone can also look up their name on your website and respond there. There is no app to install and no account to create.
Can I collect halal and dietary preferences?
Yes. Duva can gather meal preferences and dietary needs — halal, vegetarian, allergies — alongside the RSVP, attached to the specific guest and event. Your Walima headcount arrives with its meal breakdown ready to hand to the caterer.
Is Duva only for Muslim weddings?
No. Duva supports weddings of every religion and culture. It is a general guest, RSVP, website, and planning engine that adapts to whichever events you name — so it works just as well for a Nikah and Walima as for a church wedding, a Hindu ceremony, or an interfaith celebration.
Is the Muslim wedding website really free?
Yes. Your wedding website, guest list, RSVP collection, and the RSVP invitations and reminders you text or WhatsApp guests are all free, and you start with 50 free credits. Credits only apply to extra broadcast messages you send yourself, like day-of announcements — packs ($40, $99, or $165) never expire. There is no subscription.
