Quick Answer

How do I collect RSVPs on WhatsApp for a wedding?

Attach one-tap quick-reply buttons to the WhatsApp invite — Attending / Not Attending / Maybe. Guests reply inside WhatsApp without filling a form. Response rates reach 75-85% on buttons vs 40-50% on Google Forms. Dietary preference and +1 count capture can follow in a single follow-up chat.

Everything between the tap and the caterer

One RSVP per guest for the whole wedding — tracked, sliced and exported the way Indian families actually plan. No per-ceremony taps, no five separate forms.

One-tap responses

Right inside the chat. Tap, done.

Guests reply with a button — no form, no link, no app. Works for the 68-year-old dadi who only uses WhatsApp and the cousin who uses every app under the sun.

Nudge the silent ones. Never the confirmed ones.

Set a cadence — once, twice, or a series until they respond. Confirmed and declined guests never get pinged, so no one is spammed; non-responders get a gentle, name-personalised follow-up on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

How does WhatsApp RSVP tracking work on Weddingkart?+

Guests receive a WhatsApp message with Attending and Can’t Make It buttons right in the chat. One tap records their response against their guest profile, and your dashboard updates in real time — no forms, no links, no app downloads.

Do guests have to install an app or open a link?+

No. The RSVP happens entirely inside WhatsApp. Guests tap a button in the chat the same way they react to any other message. This is why it works across every age group, from the 68-year-old dadi to the cousin who only texts.

Can guests RSVP separately for each ceremony (Sangeet only, Mehendi only)?+

No, and it is deliberate. Weddingkart tracks one RSVP per guest for the whole wedding, not one per ceremony. Indian families plan weddings as a single multi-day event, and asking a guest to tap five times — once for Mehendi, once for Sangeet, once for Haldi, once for the Wedding, once for Reception — does not match how people actually decide to attend. If a particular ceremony is for a narrower guest list (e.g. only close family for Haldi), narrow the invite list for that ceremony instead — the confirmation the guest gives is still wedding-wide.

What if a guest changes their mind after confirming?+

They tap again any time before your cutoff and the system records the new response. The latest answer is what the dashboard and export reflect; the earlier responses are retained in the audit log so you can see when they switched.

Can I collect dietary preferences or plus-one names along with the RSVP?+

Yes. Food choice, room preference, plus-one name, arrival date — any custom field runs through the same one-tap WhatsApp flow as the RSVP itself. Answers land on the same guest record and export with the headcount.

Can I export the final guest list for my caterer or venue?+

Yes. The full confirmed guest list exports to Excel with guest name, headcount (including plus-ones), response date, side (bride/groom), city, and any custom fields you collected. Download before the catering deadline and hand it straight to the venue.

Do non-responders get automatic reminders?+

Yes. Configure reminder cadence — once, twice, or a scheduled series — and Weddingkart nudges only the guests who haven’t responded yet. Confirmed and declined guests never get pinged, so no one is spammed.

Stop chasing RSVPs on calls

Let guests confirm with one tap on WhatsApp. You get live headcounts, they get a frictionless experience.
