Wedding RSVP
Your wedding isn’t one event. Your RSVP shouldn’t be either.
Give every guest an invitation of their own, and let them answer for each part of the day separately. Attendance, companion requests and the details you need stay with your guest list — from the first reply to the last table.
An invitation that knows when you’re coming.
The RSVP is not a form your guests are sent off to fill in somewhere else. It is the closing act of your digital wedding invitation: they open the invitation, read it, and answer without leaving the page.
Replying takes a moment. Each person on the invitation answers for each part of your celebration — yes, no, or still deciding — and that is the whole of it. No account to create, no password, nothing to install.
What they answer goes straight into your guest list, beside everything else you keep about them.
The RSVP is part of Heirloom.
Know who’s joining each part of your celebration.
Your celebration is set up as the moments it is actually made of — the ceremony, the reception, a party afterwards, or anything else you name — and you choose which of them you are collecting answers for.
Every person on an invitation then answers for every moment. One couple comes to the church and stays for dinner, their son comes only to dinner, her mother comes only to the church — and your list says so, name by name.
So your numbers are never one total. They are the ceremony’s, the reception’s, and each moment’s own — which is what the venue, the caterer and the tables actually need to know.
You set the date you would like answers by, and it appears on the invitation.
Every guest has their own way in.
Send the invitation by email from your guest list and each guest receives a link that belongs to them. It opens their invitation with their name on it and their party already there, so answering is a matter of taps rather than typing.
The email is sent in that guest’s own language — Greek or English, chosen for each guest rather than once for the whole wedding — and the invitation itself is written in both, so anyone can read it in the one they prefer.
A guest who has the link another way can still reply with the short code from your message, and anyone you missed can ask to be added.
Make room for the people who matter.
Guests rarely arrive alone, and a list written months ago rarely survives contact with real life. So a guest replying can add the people coming with them — a partner, a child, a name nobody thought of at the time.
Everyone they add arrives in your guest list as a request, sitting beside the guest who asked for them. You approve the ones that work and decline the ones that don’t; declining takes their answers away with them.
Nobody joins your numbers on your behalf. A companion counts toward your headcount, and appears in your table planning, only once you have approved them.
From RSVP to guest list, without starting over.
Every reply lands in the same place, against the guest it came from: who is coming, how many they are, and which moments they are coming to. Nothing is retyped and nothing has to be carried from one list into another.
From there the numbers are in front of you: how many have answered and how many have not, how many people are attending, and how many are attending each moment of the day.
And when it is time to seat everyone, the people who said yes to the reception are exactly the people you have to seat, so your table plan begins from the answers rather than from a blank page.
A guest replies once. If something changes afterwards they tell you, and you update their answer from your guest list — which is how the final headcount stays right.
How a reply travels
- RSVP
- Guest list
- Headcount
- Seating
More than an RSVP form.
A real wedding is never a single yes. Some guests come to the church and leave before dinner, some can only make the reception, some bring a partner or a child, and some read Greek while others read English.
One yes-or-no cannot hold any of that, and a form that collects one leaves the rest of the work exactly where it was — the numbers, the parties and the tables still to be pieced together by hand.
Agapaé starts from the celebration instead of from the form: the moments you are really hosting, the people really on each invitation, and one guest list that carries all of it through to the day.

An RSVP you can answer right now.
Rather than describe the reply, we leave one open. It is a complete sample invitation for a wedding that isn’t happening — open it, scroll to the RSVP, and answer it the way a guest would. Nothing you enter is saved.
Opens in a new tab, in Greek or English.
Wedding RSVP is part of Heirloom.
Agapaé has three plans. The RSVP — and everything it feeds: your digital wedding invitation, your guest list, your headcount and your table planning — is included with Heirloom.
Guest photo sharing is part of every plan, including the free one. The RSVP is not.
Heirloom is also where your planning space lives, so the answers your guests give sit beside the work of putting the day together.
Features vary by plan. See the plans
Questions about wedding RSVPs
- What is a wedding RSVP?
- An RSVP is a guest’s reply to your invitation — whether they are coming, and who is coming with them. The letters are short for the French répondez s’il vous plaît, “please reply”. With Agapaé that reply happens inside your digital wedding invitation, and each person answers for each part of your celebration rather than once for the whole day.
- How does RSVP work with Agapaé?
- You set up the moments of your celebration — the ceremony, the reception, anything else you want answers for — and send your guests their invitation. They open it, choose to reply, and answer for every person on their invitation and every moment. Their answers arrive in your guest list, where you can see who is coming to what.
- Can guests RSVP through their digital wedding invitation?
- Yes — that is where the RSVP lives. There is no separate form and no second address to visit: the reply is part of the invitation your guests are already reading, and they need no app and no account to give it.
- Does each guest receive a personal invitation link?
- Yes, when you send the invitation by email from your guest list. Each guest gets a link of their own, which opens their invitation with their name and their party already filled in. A guest who has the invitation some other way can still reply by entering the short code from your message.
- Can guests respond for different parts of the wedding?
- Yes, and it is the heart of how Agapaé collects RSVPs. Your celebration is made of moments — the ceremony, the reception, a party afterwards, or any moment you add — and every person on an invitation answers yes, no, or still deciding for each one. Your guest list then reads moment by moment instead of as a single total.
- Can guests request to bring a companion?
- Yes. While replying, a guest can add the people coming with them — a partner, a child, someone who was not on your list. Everyone they add is marked as a request for you to review rather than counted straight away.
- Can I approve companion requests?
- Yes, and nothing counts until you do. Each person a guest adds waits in your guest list as a request. Approve them and they join your headcount and your table planning; decline them and they are removed, along with the answers given for them.
- What happens to RSVP responses after a guest replies?
- The reply becomes part of that guest’s record in your guest list: who answered, for which moments, and for how many people. Your response rate, your attending headcount and your per-moment numbers move with it, and the people attending the reception become the group you seat at your tables.
- Does Agapaé help me manage my wedding guest list?
- Yes. The guest list is where the replies land and where the rest of what you know about a guest lives — contact details, groups and tags, notes, and the dietary requirements you keep for each person. You can add guests yourself, record a reply on someone’s behalf, and see at a glance who has not answered yet.
- Can guests receive their invitation in different languages?
- Yes. Every guest has their own language — Greek or English — and the email carrying their personal link is sent in it, chosen for each guest rather than once for the whole wedding. The invitation itself is written in both languages, so a guest can read it in either.
- Can guests change their RSVP themselves?
- A guest replies once. Opening their link again shows them what they answered, but not a way to rewrite it. If something changes they tell you, and you update their answer from your guest list — which is how your final headcount stays right.
- Does Agapaé collect dietary preferences through RSVP?
- No. The RSVP asks who is coming and to which moments, and nothing more. Dietary requirements are kept by you, on each person in your guest list, so they travel with that person all the way into your table planning.
- Can I create custom RSVP questions?
- No. Agapaé uses one defined RSVP rather than a question builder: each person, each moment, yes, no, or still deciding. What you shape is the celebration itself — you name your moments and choose which of them you collect answers for.
- Which Agapaé plan includes wedding RSVP?
- Heirloom. The RSVP, the digital invitation it lives in, your guest list and your table planning are all part of Heirloom. Guest photo sharing is available on every plan, including the free one; the RSVP is not.
- Is Agapaé a wedding website builder?
- No. There is no site to build here. Agapaé gives you one designed invitation at its own link, with the RSVP inside it, and a private guest list behind it. Your guests read the invitation and reply; what happens with their answers afterwards is yours alone.
