RSVP by text

Wedding RSVP by text, a link for every guest

Texted for you, in your names

Every guest gets their own link. Let WedBuild text it to them, or send it on WhatsApp from your own phone, and their RSVP opens on them: no name search, no password, no email address needed.

Every Pro tool and no guest limit, free for your first 7 days. No card needed.

  • FreePersonal links, Send one by one, Text these and QR codes
  • StandardUnlimited guests, and reminder emails before your reply-by date
  • Pro50 texts to your guests included

Plenty of wedding websites assume every guest has an email address and checks it. Some of yours won't, and the ones who do may find your invitation in their spam folder. A text from you gets read.

WedBuild gives every guest their own RSVP link. We can text it to them for you, or you can send it on WhatsApp from your own phone, and when they tap it, your website greets them by name with their RSVP ready to go.

How it fits together

Part of your online RSVPs

RSVP by text is one more way into your online RSVPs: the same questions, meals and dietaries, landing in the same guest list. A personal link opens a private wedding website without its password, and your paper invitations carry each household's code. See all the wedding planning tools.

Every guest, one tap from their reply.

A text they'll actually open.

Let WedBuild text them for you

Choose who to text and WedBuild sends each guest their own text with their link, starting with your names so they know it's from you. Their replies land in your Inbox, and you see what a send uses before anything goes. Pro comes with 50 texts and packs work on any plan. Texts reach Australian mobile numbers for now, with more countries on the way.

Or send one by one, from your own phone

Send one by one opens WhatsApp, or a text, with the message and that guest's link ready. You press send, come back, and the next guest is waiting. It comes from your own number, for free, so it reads like a note from you, not a marketing email.

Their RSVP opens on them

Each link knows who it's for. Your website greets them by name and their RSVP opens on them, with no name search and no password, and their answers land against them in your guest list. They see a summary of their answers with an Edit button on each, and if they lose the link, they can tap Email me my link.

Paper invitations, QR codes and guests with no email

Each household gets a short code to print on paper invitations, and your QR codes page has codes for your RSVP form and your website. Text these lists the households with no email, each with a WhatsApp and a text button. And you can see who has opened their link, and how often.

Design the invitation too

Reminders for the quiet ones

Turn on reminders and WedBuild emails the households who haven't replied three weeks, one week and two days before your reply-by date, in a Gentle, Friendly or Firm tone. You see the words before anything goes, and they go in your names. WedBuild can text the households with no email with each reminder too, or they wait in Text these, ready for a message from you.

How it works

Three steps to every reply.

  1. Add phone numbers

    Import your list from Excel or CSV with a phone column, or add numbers as you go. Email addresses are optional.

  2. Send each guest their link

    Let WedBuild text them, send one by one on WhatsApp from your phone, and email the guests who have an address.

  3. Watch the replies land

    Answers file themselves in your guest list, and Text these shows who is left to nudge.

Questions

Before you send the first text.

Can guests RSVP to a wedding by text?

Yes, through a link they get by text. Every guest has their own RSVP link: WedBuild can text it to them, or you can send it from your own phone, and when they tap it your website greets them by name with their RSVP ready. Their answers land in your guest list.

Does WedBuild send the texts for me?

It can. Each guest gets their own text from WedBuild, starting with your names, and their replies land in your Inbox. Pro comes with 50 texts and packs work on any plan, or send them free from your own phone with Send one by one.

Which guests can WedBuild text?

Texts reach Australian mobile numbers for now, with more countries on the way. Guests with a number from anywhere else still get their link on WhatsApp or by email, so nobody misses out.

Do I need every guest's email address?

No. A phone number is enough to send a guest their link, and a guest with neither can use the short code on their paper invitation. Text these lists every household with no email, so nobody slips through.

How does a wedding RSVP QR code work?

Your QR codes page has a code for your RSVP form and one for your website, ready to print on invitations or a sign. Guests scan it, then find themselves by name or type the short code from their invitation.

Can guests change their RSVP after replying?

Yes. They see a summary of their answers with an Edit button on each, and their own link opens their answers again later. If they lose the link, they can tap Email me my link and it goes to the address you have for them.

How do I remind guests who haven't replied?

On Standard, reminder emails go to the households who haven't replied three weeks, one week and two days before your reply-by date, in a Gentle, Friendly or Firm tone, and WedBuild can text the households with no email too. On every plan, Text these lists the households with no email, with WhatsApp and text buttons.
