Online Wedding RSVPs and Guest Lists

Give guests a clear way to reply and give yourselves one place to organise the answers. Shared Beginning brings your wedding website, guest list and RSVP tracking into the same planning platform.

Know which people are coming

A household can receive one invitation and still need several individual responses. Keep the invited people clear, record who can attend and identify the replies that still need attention.

No more treating "the family is coming" as a final headcount when only three of four people have confirmed.

Make the response useful

Think beyond a yes or no. Decide which information your wedding actually needs, whether that is a meal selection, a dietary note or attendance at another event.

Custom RSVP questions, dietary notes and address collection are included on every plan. Conditional questions and per-event responses come with the paid plans — compare the plans before choosing the setup for your wedding.

Read what to ask on your wedding RSVP for examples of questions that earn their place.

Keep the website and the plans together

Guests use the wedding website for the information they need. You use the planning workspace to manage the details behind the celebration. Keeping them in the same platform gives you a clearer place to start when responses change.

As the plans grow, explore the available tools for seating, timelines, budget and stationery rather than starting again with a disconnected system.

Help guests who need another way to reply

A good RSVP process should work for the people on your actual guest list. Give guests a help contact and a clear alternative when an online response is difficult. Review any offline replies alongside the online ones so your working count remains complete.

When replies are slow, our RSVP reminder wording keeps the nudge clear and kind.

Common questions

Is Shared Beginning only an RSVP tool?

No. It combines wedding websites and RSVPs with guest management and a wider set of wedding-planning tools. Availability varies by plan.

What should we ask guests?

Begin with attendance for each invited person. Add only the information you will genuinely use. The RSVP questions guide provides examples for meals, travel and other events.

Do we need a separate website?

You can create a wedding website with Shared Beginning and use it as the place guests return to for event details and responses.

Can we see what is included before choosing?

Yes. Every plan is a one-time price, and the pricing page lists exactly what each one includes before you upgrade.

Start with the people you are inviting

Create your wedding website, organise your guest list and build a response process that makes the next stage of planning easier.
