Wedding website with a single RSVP for all events
Wedding website platforms often force guests to RSVP separately for individual events like the ceremony and reception, causing confusion when guests accidentally RSVP for just one part. Couples want a simple way for guests to give a single yes or no for the whole wedding, or use phone numbers to direct them straight to the right events.
What people tried
Every workaround mentioned in the threads below. We haven’t tested any of them — and nobody here is claiming they worked.
- 1Combining multiple timeline segments into a single catch-all event like 'Wedding Ceremony & Reception' and listing the detailed schedule in the description text.
- 2Creating separate events but disabling RSVP collection for the parts that do not require individual headcounts.
- 3Going into each individual site to see specific event details
