The reply machine
How RSVP tracking actually works
The whole job of an invitation is getting answers back. Here is what happens after you hit send.
01You send one thing
A quick invitation goes out as a single link by WhatsApp or email. On the full Invite+RSVP product, every guest gets their own private link instead, so replies are tied to names.
02Guests tap, reply, done
The link opens the animated invitation on their phone. They reply on a hosted page with no app, no account and no sign-up. Yes, no, plus-one, dietary notes if you asked.
03You watch replies land
The dashboard fills up by name. Who is coming, who is bringing someone, who has gone suspiciously quiet. Numbers for the caterer without a single spreadsheet.
04The genie nudges the rest
Anyone still pending gets a polite reminder at fourteen, seven and three days out. You never send the awkward chasing message again.
Kids’ parties
Built for the class WhatsApp group
You know the drill. Thirty families, one soft-play slot, and a deposit that depends on numbers you do not have. Make the invitation, the genie paints the birthday kid into the scene as the superhero or the dinosaur wrangler, and drop one link into the group. Parents open it on their phones, nothing to install, and reply in a tap. On the full Invite+RSVP product each family gets its own link, allergies are collected with consent, and the genie chases the stragglers so you are not the parent sending the third “just bumping this” message.
The honest comparison
Why not the usual suspects?
Most online invitation sites hand you the same template they hand everyone else, then either charge per guest or make your guests sit through adverts before they can say yes. Ours starts from your photo, so the invitation is unmistakably about your person, and the price is flat: one fee for the invitation, or one fee for the whole event. Your guests see the invitation and a reply page. No adverts, no account walls, no upsell standing between them and the word yes.
The honest answers
RSVP questions, answered
How do online invitations with RSVP work?
You make the invitation first. Upload a photo, tell us about the party, and the genie paints your guest of honour into the scene, ready in about two minutes. Then pick how replies come back. With a quick invitation from £1.79, guests tap a reply button on the invite itself. With the full Invite+RSVP product from £9.99, every guest gets their own private link, replies land on your dashboard by name, and reminders go out automatically.
Can guests RSVP without an app or account?
Yes. Guests tap the link, see the invitation, and reply on a hosted page. No app to download, no account to create, no password to forget. That goes for grandparents and teenagers alike, which is rather the point.
What does it cost?
A single shareable invitation is £1.79 as an image, £3.49 as a five-second video, £4.99 for ten seconds, or £7.99 for the fifteen-second cinematic. The full Invite+RSVP product is a flat fee per event: £9.99 for up to 50 guests, £19.99 for up to 100, £39.99 for up to 300 and £79.99 for up to 1000. No per-guest charges, no subscription. If someone deserves proper post, add the scan-to-reveal printed card from £4.49, the code inside plays the animated invitation on their phone.
Can I chase people who have not replied?
You can, but you should not have to, so the genie does it for you. On the Invite+RSVP product, reminders go to anyone still pending at fourteen, seven and three days before the event, sent in small batches so they land in inboxes rather than spam folders. Your dashboard shows exactly who is still sitting on the fence.
What is the best way to send kids' party invitations to the class WhatsApp group?
One link, dropped once. Make the invitation, share the link in the class group, and every parent opens it on their phone with nothing to install. If you need replies tracked properly, use the Invite+RSVP product: each family gets a private RSVP link, dietary notes are collected from parents directly with consent, and the genie chases the ones who have not answered by Thursday.
Do I have to pay before I see the invitation?
No. You always get a free watermarked preview first, and you only pay to send or keep it. If the design does not make you grin, change the wish and generate again before spending a penny.
Can guests add the party to their calendar?
On the Invite+RSVP product, yes. Invitations go out with a calendar file attached, so the date lands in Apple or Google Calendar in one tap. Change the venue or the time later and every guest's RSVP link updates automatically, no re-sending needed.
