Online wedding RSVP

Three ways guests can RSVP online

Not every guest responds the same way, so Duva gives them options — all of which land in the same dashboard. Text-first guests tap a personalized link. Older relatives who never saved the email can go to your website and look themselves up by name. Guests abroad get the same link over WhatsApp. There is no app to install and no account to create for any of them.

• Personalized SMS link. US guests get a text with a one-tap link straight to their RSVP.
• WhatsApp for guests abroad. International guests reply in the app they already use every day.
• Name lookup on your site. Guests find themselves by name on the wedding website and respond — no link needed.

One RSVP for the whole household

Chasing five separate replies from one family is how headcounts go wrong. In Duva, one person responds for their entire party in a single flow — spouse, kids, and all — marking who is coming and who isn’t. It’s faster for the guest and cleaner for you, and it mirrors how invitations actually work: you invite a household, not five disconnected individuals.

• Whole-party response. One guest confirms the entire household at once.
• Per-person detail. Mark each member of the party attending or not.
• Fewer missed guests. No one gets left off because they never received their own link.

A separate RSVP for every ceremony

A multi-day wedding isn’t one yes-or-no. A cousin might come to the sangeet and reception but skip the mehndi; your college friends are invited to the ceremony but not the family-only haldi. Duva keeps one master guest list and lets each guest RSVP per event, so every ceremony — welcome party, haldi, mehndi, sangeet, baraat, ceremony, reception — carries its own accurate headcount. You’ll know exactly how many chairs the sangeet needs without guessing from the wedding total.

• Per-ceremony replies. Each event collects and counts its own RSVPs.
• Invite by event. A guest only sees and answers for the ceremonies they’re invited to.
• Accurate counts everywhere. Plan catering and seating per event, not from one lump number.

Meal choices, dietary needs, and the details you actually ask

The RSVP is also where you gather what the caterer and planner need. Collect meal selections, note dietary restrictions and allergies, and capture the extra details specific to your celebration alongside each guest’s response — all tied to the right person and the right event, and ready to export when it’s time to give the venue final numbers.

• Meal selections. Let guests pick an entrée or note dietary preferences as they RSVP.
• Allergies & notes. Capture restrictions and special requests with each response.
• Export-ready. Hand the caterer clean per-event numbers and meal counts.

Automatic reminders to guests who haven’t replied

The hardest part of RSVPs isn’t collecting them — it’s the last stragglers who never respond. Duva handles that for you. Schedule a reminder and it re-messages only the guests who haven’t answered yet, over the same SMS or WhatsApp channel, so you’re not personally texting relatives to ask again. Set an RSVP-deadline nudge and a final follow-up, and let the tool do the chasing.

• Nudges non-responders only. Reminders go only to guests who haven’t replied — never to those who have.
• Scheduled ahead. Queue deadline and last-call reminders and Duva sends them on time.
• No manual chasing. Stop texting relatives one by one to ask if they’re coming.

Live headcounts you can trust

Every response updates your dashboard the moment it comes in, with attending, pending, and declined counts for each ceremony. Because each RSVP is confirmed by SMS verification, the numbers reflect real people, not duplicate or fake entries. You always know where you stand — how many for the sangeet, how many meals for the reception — without tallying a spreadsheet by hand.

• Real-time dashboard. Attending, pending, and declined counts update as guests reply.
• SMS-verified. Verification keeps responses genuine and your list clean.
• Per-event totals. See the exact headcount for each ceremony at a glance.

Free to collect wedding RSVPs

Collecting RSVPs is free. Your wedding website, guest list, and RSVP tools cost nothing and there is no subscription — guests can reply by name lookup on your site at no charge to you. You only spend credits when you send the invitation or reminder by SMS or WhatsApp: you start with 50 message credits, and after that credit packs ($40, $99, or $165) never expire and cost one credit per recipient per message.
