Wedding Party RSVP – Guest List, Invitation & Event Manager

Description

Live preview: Wedding Party RSVP Pro (Premium demo on InstaWP) — open a temporary site with the full premium plugin pre-installed; no purchase required.

Stop chasing replies across group chats and reconciling spreadsheets the week before the wedding. Wedding Party RSVP gives planners and couples a single guest list inside WordPress—every RSVP, headcount, and meal note in one place from save-the-date to seating.

Prefer a hosted wedding website? The optional Wedding RSVP site builder at weddingrsvp.pro provisions a branded subdomain with templates and this RSVP stack included. Self-hosted WordPress (this free plugin, with or without Pro) remains fully supported.

  • Less stress for your planning team – Shared visibility in wp-admin replaces emailed spreadsheet copies.
  • Fewer last-minute surprises – Clear statuses and follow-up help you confirm attendance earlier for catering and rentals.
  • Confidence at the venue – One accurate count for who is attending, meals, and plus ones.
  • Faster setup – Getting started checklist, Next steps for pending RSVPs, straggler filters (missing email, phone, or address), plus Live demo (WordPress Playground) and Try Premium (InstaWP) links on the Plugins screen.

8.2.14 adds a Song requests report, fixes Guest list health deep links, and pairs with Wedding Party RSVP Pro 2.4.1. The free Wedding RSVP companion app is on Google Play; with Pro, guests can upload event photos from the app to your site gallery.

Guests sign in with a Party ID so households RSVP together. Collect adult entrée choices and dietary notes, set event capacity limits, and export the guest list when catering or your venue needs numbers.

Gift registry links: Under Wedding RSVP Settings Frontend Display, add registry URLs (Amazon, Zola, etc.). Guests see them on the public RSVP page after entering their Party ID.

Try It Live – Preview This Plugin Instantly

Experience Wedding Party RSVP without installation: the blueprint installs the plugin from WordPress.org, creates sample guests (including dietary notes and dessert choices on DAVIS-005), sets event details for the guest hub, and sets the site homepage to a Wedding RSVP page with the [wedding_rsvp_form] shortcode. Log in as admin / password to explore wp-admin (e.g. Wedding RSVP).

Preview on WordPress Playground

The same blueprint ships in the plugin package as blueprint.json (repository root) and assets/blueprints/blueprint.json. WordPress.org also serves a copy from the plugin SVN for directory integration. Example Party IDs in the demo: SMITH-001, JONES-002, DAVIS-005.

Purchase the license key to unlock the full suite of features.

External Services

This plugin does not call third-party APIs for core RSVP storage. Optional behaviors:

  • Party ID preview (public REST) — The wgrsvp/v1/party-preview endpoint is served by your own WordPress site. It is rate-limited per visitor IP (default 40 requests per minute; filter wgrsvp_party_preview_rate_limit_max). No off-site service is contacted for this feature.

  • InstaWP (optional Pro preview) — The readme Try It Live section and wp-admin may link to InstaWP (app.instawp.io) so administrators or visitors can open a temporary WordPress site preloaded with Wedding Party RSVP Pro to evaluate premium features. The user’s browser navigates to InstaWP; provisioning, session length, and data handling are governed by InstaWP, not by this plugin’s server-side code. See InstaWP Terms of Service and InstaWP Privacy Policy.

  • WordPress AI Client (optional)This feature is available on WordPress 7.0 and later (the WordPress AI Client provides wp_ai_client_prompt; configure your provider under Settings Connectors in WordPress). On older versions, AI wording controls are not shown. On Wedding RSVP General Settings, “AI wording…” sends only the assistant instructions you trigger plus optional notes you type in the browser to the AI provider configured in WordPress. No guest list data is sent. Add your provider’s Terms and Privacy links to your site policies when you enable AI.

  • Guest Hub — Google Maps (optional link) — After a successful RSVP (Interactivity flow) or on the thank-you page, the Guest Hub can show Open in Google Maps when Settings Logistics includes an event location/venue. The plugin builds a standard https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=… URL using that text; opening the link is done in the guest’s browser and sends the encoded venue string to Google. No server-to-server call is made by the plugin for this link. See Google Maps Platform Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.

  • RSVP deadline reminder emails (optional) — When enabled under Settings Logistics, a daily scheduled task may send wp_mail reminders to guests with a pending RSVP (and optionally declined) on the days you configure before the RSVP deadline. Delivery uses your WordPress email configuration (SMTP plugin, host mail, etc.); no separate third-party API is required for email. Wedding Party RSVP Pro can optionally send the same guests an SMS via Twilio when that add-on is configured (see Pro readme External Services).

  • Multi-step drip journey emails (optional) — When enabled under Settings Logistics, an hourly scheduled task may send sequenced wp_mail follow-ups (up to a small fixed step count) to guests in a chosen segment. Delivery uses your WordPress email configuration; no separate third-party API is required for email. When the drip journey is enabled, it supersedes the legacy daily deadline reminder cron. SMS drip steps require Wedding Party RSVP Pro + Twilio (see Pro readme). Deleting the plugin drops drip tables/options; Erase Personal Data also removes drip rows for matching guest IDs.

  • Amazon Associates (optional, off by default) — When the site owner enables Amazon Associates under gift registry settings and provides their Associate tag, Amazon registry links are rewritten in the guest’s browser to include the tag= query parameter. Opening such a link sends the guest’s browser to Amazon; standard request data is processed by Amazon under its policies. The plugin makes no server-to-server calls to Amazon for this feature. An Amazon Associates disclosure is shown automatically below the registry links while the tag is active. See the Amazon Associates Operating Agreement and Amazon Privacy Notice.

  • Skimlinks affiliate links (optional, off by default) — When the site owner enables the Skimlinks option under the gift registry settings and provides their Skimlinks publisher ID, non-Amazon registry links are rewritten to the documented Skimlinks redirect format (https://go.skimresources.com/?id=…&url=…). When a guest clicks such a link, their browser is sent to Skimlinks (Taboola), which records the click for commission attribution and redirects to the destination store; the destination URL and standard request data (such as IP address and user agent) are processed by Skimlinks at that time. The plugin makes no server-to-server calls to Skimlinks and loads no Skimlinks JavaScript. An affiliate disclosure is shown automatically below the registry links while the feature is active. See the Skimlinks Publisher Terms and Skimlinks Privacy Policy.

  • Order prints partners (optional admin links) — The guest list may show Order prints links to Printful, Canva, and Gelato so coordinators can order place cards and related stationery after exporting CSV/PDF. Opening a link is done in the administrator’s browser; the plugin makes no server-to-server calls and does not upload the guest list automatically. Links may include affiliate/referral tracking so Land Tech Web Designs can earn a commission at no extra cost to the site; an affiliate disclosure is shown with the panel. Destination URLs can be configured on the weddingrsvp.pro hub (Pro Mobile App hub settings). Site owners can hide the panel under Settings Frontend Display. See Printful Terms, Canva Terms, and Gelato Terms.

  • Caterer portal (optional magic link)Wedding RSVP Caterer portal lets administrators generate a secret URL that shows a read-only meal summary by table on your own site. No off-site API is called; anyone with the link can view the summary until you revoke or regenerate the token.

  • Client summary link (optional magic link)Wedding RSVP Client summary lets administrators generate a secret URL that shows aggregate RSVP and meal/dietary counts on your own site (no guest names). No off-site API is called; anyone with the link can view the summary until you revoke or regenerate the token.

  • Google reCAPTCHA v3 (optional guestbook) — When reCAPTCHA v3 site and secret keys are available (Guestbook settings override, or inherited from WSB Hub Connection on the same site), the public guestbook loads Google’s script from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=… and verifies submissions via https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify (score + action wgrsvp_guestbook). Google may receive the captcha token and visitor IP at verify time. See Google reCAPTCHA Terms and Google Privacy Policy.

  • Cloudflare Turnstile (optional guestbook backup) — When Turnstile site and secret keys are configured locally or on WSB Hub Connection (used if Google is not set, or if reCAPTCHA fails to run), the guestbook loads https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js and verifies via https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify. Cloudflare may receive the token and visitor IP at verify time. See Cloudflare Terms and Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Third-party libraries

This plugin bundles FPDF (version 1.86, © Olivier Plathey) under includes/lib/fpdf/ for optional Export check-in PDF in the guest list. FPDF is free software; see the header comment in fpdf.php for license terms.

FAQ

Can I use this for events other than weddings?

Yes! While tailored for weddings, it works for any event requiring basic RSVP tracking.

How do I reset the guest list?

Go to Settings and scroll to the bottom danger zone. Click Erase all data & reset plugin (exports first if you need a backup).

Is there a Pro version?

Yes. Wedding Party RSVP Pro adds child guests, full menu courses (appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, desserts), customizable menu labels, seating notes, batch email and SMS, deeper styling, guest photo galleries via the free Wedding RSVP companion apps, a registry setup wizard, an on-site wish list guests can reserve, Stripe cash fund tiers, and gift CSV import. The free plugin covers unlimited guests, adult entrées, dietary options, CSV import/export, guest hub summaries, gift registry links (with optional Amazon Associates / Skimlinks), and the public RSVP form. Open Wedding RSVP Help in wp-admin for free guides plus plain-English Pro gift feature notes.

Do guests need a WordPress account to RSVP?

No. Guests use a Party ID (invite code) you assign—no user registration required.

Does this work with the block editor?

Yes. Add a Shortcode block (or the classic block) and paste [wedding_rsvp_form]. A block pattern is also available in the editor when the plugin is active.

What PHP and WordPress versions do I need?

Requires WordPress 6.2 or later, PHP 7.4 or later (aligned with WordPress 7 dropping PHP 7.2–7.3), and the plugin readme lists Tested up to WordPress 7.1. Use PHP 8.x on your host where possible—WordPress recommends current PHP releases for performance and security.

Do you offer a hosted wedding website?

Yes. If you prefer not to host WordPress yourself, the Wedding RSVP site builder at weddingrsvp.pro can create a wedding site on a subdomain with templates and the RSVP plugins included. Couples and planners who already have WordPress can keep using this free plugin (and optional Pro) on their own site—the hosted builder is optional, not required.

Can I use Wedding Party RSVP Pro together with the free plugin?

Yes. Keep both plugins active: the free plugin provides the core guest list and RSVP form; Pro extends it with premium features when your license is valid.

What guest data does Wedding Party RSVP store?

Guest records live in your WordPress database (a custom table, usually wp_wedding_rsvps with your site prefix). Typical fields include Party ID, name, RSVP status, meal choice, and anything guests enter on the public form (for example email, phone, dietary notes, allergies, song request, message, address). Only users who can manage the plugin in wp-admin can view or edit that list.

How can I export or erase a guest’s personal data?

In wp-admin, use Tools Export Personal Data and Tools Erase Personal Data (WordPress 4.9.6+). This plugin registers an exporter and an eraser that match guest rows by email address stored on the guest record. Erasing removes all guest rows that use that email from the RSVP table—use only when appropriate for your jurisdiction and event.

Can guests add the event to their calendar?

Yes. In Settings Logistics, set event title, start time, and optional venue; when enabled, guests who complete RSVP can download an .ics file (“Add to calendar”).

How do I add gift registry links to the RSVP page?

In Wedding RSVP Settings (free) use Frontend Display; with Pro, use Settings Frontend text. Enter an optional heading and one or more link labels with full https URLs (for example Amazon or Zola). Guests see them after signing in with their Party ID. For a step-by-step walkthrough (and notes on Pro tools), open Wedding RSVP Help.

Does Pro help me set up Amazon, Target, Walmart, and other registries?

Yes — that is a Pro feature. Wedding Party RSVP Pro’s Registry setup wizard (on Wedding RSVP Registry hub) walks you through picking stores, opening each store’s registry-creation page, pasting the share links back, and adding them to your RSVP page. The free plugin still lets you paste those links by hand under Settings. Read the wizard guide under Wedding RSVP Help (marked Available in Pro), or the full manual under Wedding RSVP Documentation when Pro is licensed.

Can guests reserve gifts so nobody buys the same thing twice?

That is a Pro feature called the wish list (on-site item registry). With Pro, you add individual gifts from any store on Registry hub; guests reserve or mark them purchased on the RSVP page. Free users can still list store registry links. See Wedding RSVP Help Wish list for the Pro guide (Available in Pro).

Can I use my Amazon Associates (affiliate) tag on Amazon registry links?

Yes, as an optional opt-in (off by default). Under the gift registry settings, check Append my Amazon Associates tag and enter your tracking ID (for example yoursite-20). Registry links that point to an Amazon site then get ?tag=your-id appended so qualifying purchases credit your Associates account; links that already contain a tag parameter are left unchanged. Affiliate disclosure: whenever tagging is active, the plugin automatically displays “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.” directly below the registry links, as required by the Amazon Associates Operating Agreement. Your own ID is required on self-hosted sites: if the checkbox is on but no tag is entered, tagging stays inactive (nothing is appended) and the settings screen shows a reminder with a sign-up link. Exception: on sites hosted on the plugin author’s weddingrsvp.pro network (sites the author owns and operates), the network’s Associates ID (weddingrsvp-20) is used automatically when the field is blank; this is stated next to the setting. The plugin itself contacts no Amazon API—the tag is only appended to outbound links you added.

Can I earn commissions on non-Amazon registry links with Skimlinks?

Yes, as an optional opt-in (off by default). Under the gift registry settings, check Turn non-Amazon registry links into Skimlinks affiliate links and enter your Skimlinks publisher ID (for example 123456X1234567). Registry links pointing at stores in the Skimlinks merchant network (Target, Zola, Crate & Barrel, and thousands more — Amazon is not included) are then routed through the documented Skimlinks redirect (go.skimresources.com) so qualifying purchases credit your Skimlinks account. No Skimlinks JavaScript is loaded — only the outbound link URL changes. Affiliate disclosure: whenever wrapping is active, the plugin automatically displays an affiliate disclosure sentence below the registry links, as required by the FTC and Skimlinks publisher terms. Your own publisher ID is required on self-hosted sites and your domain must be registered in your Skimlinks account — commissions go to the account that owns the ID; if the checkbox is on but no ID is entered, wrapping stays inactive and the settings screen shows a reminder with a sign-up link. Exception: on sites hosted on the plugin author’s weddingrsvp.pro network (sites the author owns, operates, and has registered with Skimlinks), the network’s publisher ID is used automatically when the field is blank; this is stated next to the setting. Amazon links keep using the separate Amazon Associates option above.

How do I paste a guest list instead of CSV?

In Wedding RSVP Paste Guest List (admin menu), paste names, emails, or phone lines, preview rows, then import. Imports are capped per request and require an administrator; see the on-screen notice after import.

What is the Party ID preview on the RSVP page?

When your site supports the Interactivity API, guests may see a short hint after typing a Party ID. The browser calls the read-only REST route wgrsvp/v1/party-preview, which returns only whether the party exists, a guest count, and up to three first-name tokens (not full PII). Requests are rate-limited per IP to reduce brute-force guessing; adjust with the wgrsvp_party_preview_rate_limit_max filter if needed.

How do I use the DataViews guest table on the Wedding Dashboard?

When the admin bundle is built (npm run build in the plugin directory), Wedding RSVP Wedding Dashboard opens the DataViews read-only table by default. Use Classic table / DataViews table on the dashboard toolbar to switch views; your choice is saved per user. The classic list remains below for bulk actions and editing. Override once with ?wgrsvp_dataview=1 or ?wgrsvp_dataview=0.

We are incredibly pleased with the Wedding Party RSVP plugin! It is such a comprehensive and thoughtfully designed solution for managing wedding RSVPs through our website. The guest import feature made setup an absolute breeze and saved us so much time. We also love the ability to provide each guest with a unique code, which will make the RSVP process simple, organized, and stress-free for everyone. The plugin integrates beautifully with our website and feels completely seamless from start to finish. Everything is intuitive, professional, and clearly built with real wedding planning needs in mind. We could not be happier with our choice and would highly recommend Wedding Party RSVP to any couple looking for an easy, reliable, and polished way to manage their guest responses!

I’m using the Wedding Party RSVP plugin for my son and future daughter-in-law’s wedding website. The plugin has all the features we are looking for without a lot of extra things that are not relevant to a wedding. One of the features that I most appreciate is the party id that ensures no one can RSVP if they are not an invited guest. I had a query as to whether the plugin supported a certain bit of functionality and Randy, the plugin developer, decided to add it in within a few hours of my asking. This is a fantastic level of support. I highly recommend this plugin to anyone building a wedding website based on WordPress.

8.3.5

  • Fix: Guestbook captcha uses reCAPTCHA v3 — Matches WSB Hub keys; empty Guestbook fields inherit wsb_hub_recaptcha_* / Turnstile keys from WSB Hub Connection. Invisible v3 execute on submit; Turnstile remains the backup.

8.3.3

8.3.2

  • Add: Admin menu approval badges — Red pending counts on Guestbook (and top-level Wedding RSVP). Filter wgrsvp_admin_menu_badges lets Pro add Photo Gallery and other queues; collapsed group headers show summed counts.

8.3.1

  • Add: Collapsible admin menu groups — Under Wedding RSVP, secondary screens fold into Guests & seating, Planning, and Guest experience & reports so Free+Pro sidebars stay usable without zooming. Core items stay pinned; open state persists in the browser; filter wgrsvp_admin_menu_groups for Pro/custom membership.

8.2.14

  • Docs — Description and Help pointers clarify free gift-registry links vs Pro registry tools.

8.2.12

  • Fix: Settings save buttons — Automatic guest reminders no longer sit in the middle of the general Settings form with a primary Save button that looked like it saved gift registries / Amazon links. Reminder series moved below Save Settings, with an extra Save Settings control under Frontend Display (registries). Reminder fields save via their own button to admin-post (no nested-form breakage).
  • UX — Plain-language “Automatic guest reminders” copy explains the feature for non-developers; clearer who/when/message labels.
  • Setup guide — New Wedding RSVP Setup guide checklist for first-time coordinators (RSVP page, menus, guests, testing, optional reminders).

When Pro Documentation is present, Help links to the full Pro manuals.
  • Settings — Gift registry section links to Help and notes Pro wizard / wish list when Pro is not active.
  • Address focus — Deep-link query args scroll the mailing address field into view on the public RSVP form (when Pro address campaign is not handling the same args).

8.2.8

8.2.7

  • Dashboard contrast — Menu Breakdown meal filter chips use high-contrast dark text on light gray backgrounds. Fixes unreadable blue-on-blue labels under the Modern admin color scheme (admin-color-modern) until hover.

8.2.6

  • Abilities API — Register the wedding-party-rsvp ability category on wp_abilities_api_categories_init (required since WordPress 6.9) before registering wedding-party-rsvp/ai-wording on wp_abilities_api_init. Stops _doing_it_wrong notices when WP_DEBUG is on.

8.2.5

  • Guest table schema — Adds optional dessert_choice column (used by Wedding Party RSVP Pro 2.2.4+ for dessert selections on the public RSVP form). Guest hub, dashboard inline meal display, CSV export, audit trail, and guest-rows REST allowlist updated accordingly.
  • Playground blueprint — Demo seeds event details for the guest hub, sample dessert choices on Party ID DAVIS-005, and updated RSVP page copy describing the guest hub flow.

8.2.4

  • RSVP nonce refresh — Fixes intermittent « Security check failed. Please open this page again and try once more » when guests enter their Party ID on hosts with full-page cache (GoDaddy Managed WordPress, Cloudflare, etc.). Public RSVP pages now fetch fresh form nonces via AJAX on load, when the tab becomes visible again, and when restored from back-forward cache; classic form submit waits for a fresh token if the page load was slow. Also refreshes nonces before Interactivity API RSVP submit. Works with free and Pro frontend forms. Filters: wgrsvp_enable_rsvp_nonce_refresh, wgrsvp_rsvp_refresh_nonces.

8.2.3

  • RSVP cache hardening — Stronger no-cache for Cloudflare, GoDaddy gateway, and Elementor-built RSVP pages: flags DONOTCACHEPAGE on init, sends CDN-Cache-Control / Cloudflare-CDN-Cache-Control: no-store on send_headers, detects Elementor _elementor_data shortcode widgets, and matches common /rsvp/ page paths when RSVP Page URL is unset. Filter: wgrsvp_rsvp_page_path_slugs.

8.2.2

  • RSVP cache fix — Public RSVP pages (shortcode, block, or configured RSVP Page URL) now send no-cache headers and opt out of LiteSpeed Cache and other full-page cache plugins. Fixes intermittent « Security check failed. » when hosts such as Hostinger or CDNs (e.g. Cloudflare) serve stale HTML with expired form nonces. Filter: wgrsvp_should_nocache_rsvp_page.

8.2.1

  • Security & standards hardening — Global audit of inbound/outbound data handling: stricter input sanitization on settings saves, late escaping verified across all admin output, and the Ops Center confirm dialog moved from an inline handler to an enqueued script (wgrsvp-confirm.js).
  • Code quality — WordPress Coding Standards pass: completed missing DocBlocks, prefixed all globals, and resolved all PHPCS errors repo-wide.

8.2.0

  • Magic-link RSVP URLs — Reminder emails, invite {rsvp_link} tags, and admin Copy link now append a signed wgrsvp_t token (stateless HMAC, wp_salt-based). Guests landing with a valid token see a personalized « We found your invitation » state; plain ?party_id= links keep working. Filter: wgrsvp_magic_link_url.
  • Send reminder now — Follow-up & day-of Follow-up queue gains a one-click reminder blast to all non-responders with email (recipient count preview, confirm dialog, manage_options + nonce, 6-hour throttle, per-guest dedupe separate from the scheduled nudges).
  • SMS reminder opt-in — New sms_opt_in guest column (schema v4 via dbDelta), « Text me reminders » checkbox next to the RSVP form phone field, inline opt-in toggle on the admin guest list, and an SMS opt-in column in the CSV export. The free plugin stores consent only; sending requires Wedding Party RSVP Pro.
  • Guest table page — The read-only DataViews guest table (and its quick filters) moved from the Wedding Dashboard to its own Guest table submenu page; the dashboard keeps the classic editable list and links to the new page. The per-user DataViews/classic toggle was removed.

8.1.1

  • Block inserter fix — RSVP form, Guest Hub, and Thank-you checklist blocks now register a block editor script and appear under a Wedding Party RSVP inserter category (PHP-only blocks were not discoverable in Gutenberg without editorScript).
  • Block patterns — Patterns tab adds RSVP form (block) and Guest Hub (block) under Wedding Party RSVP for faster page setup.

8.1.0

  • Abilities API — Registers wedding-party-rsvp/ai-wording when WordPress 7.0+ Abilities API is available (AJAX paths remain primary).
  • Block registration — Centralized WGRSVP_Blocks registers RSVP form, guest hub, and thank-you checklist dynamic blocks (PHP render.php only).
  • AI model preference — Optional model slug on General Settings; passed to using_model_preference() when supported.
