Understanding the RSVP form editor

Learn how to use the RSVP form editor to build and preview your online RSVP form, navigate between pages, and access settings, wording, and email customization.

The RSVP form editor is where you build and manage every aspect of your online RSVP experience. It shows a live preview of your form alongside controls for each step guests will go through.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

How to access the form editor

  1. Go to RSVP > Form

The editor opens with a live preview of your RSVP form and numbered page tabs along the top.

Form pages

The form editor displays your RSVP form as a series of numbered pages. Each page represents a step guests will go through when they RSVP. Click any page tab to preview that step and access its settings.

1. Name

The first page guests see. Depending on your settings, guests either search for their name, enter their email address, or arrive via a direct link.

This page displays your couple names and wedding date. It's also where the Enable RSVPs button appears if RSVPs are not yet enabled.

2. Attendance

This page asks guests whether they will be attending your wedding. Guests choose from Attending, Not attending, and optionally Unsure.

If a guest is part of a household, they can RSVP on behalf of everyone in their household from this step.

Plus-ones and children options also appear here if enabled. Guests who are allowed a +1 will be prompted to enter their details. Households with children enabled can add additional children.

This page only appears if attendance collection is turned on (it is by default). To configure it, click Our wedding on the Events page and toggle Collect attendance from guests.

3. Events

This page shows guests the events they're invited to and asks them to confirm their attendance for each one. It only appears if you've added at least one event beyond the main wedding.

Events are displayed in date order. For events with an exclusive guest list, only invited guests will see them.

To manage events, click the Events tab to go to the events management page where you can add, edit, and delete events.

4. Questions

This page shows any custom questions you've added to collect additional information from guests, such as meal preferences, song requests, or travel details.

Questions appear in the order you've set. Dietary requirements, if enabled, appear either above or below your custom questions depending on your dietary settings.

To manage questions, click the Questions tab to go to the questions management page where you can add, edit, reorder, and delete questions.

5. Confirmation

The final page guests see after completing their RSVP. It confirms their response has been recorded and shows a summary of what they submitted.

If you've enabled the "Go back to site" link in RSVP settings, guests will see a link to return to your wedding website.

Header actions

The form editor header provides quick access to key features:

  • Enable RSVPs / RSVPs enabled - Toggle RSVP collection on or off
  • RSVP settings - Open the settings panel to configure access, guest details, plus-ones, and more
  • Edit wording - Customize the text labels and messages on your RSVP form
  • Edit emails - Configure confirmation and reminder emails
  • View form - Open your live RSVP form in a new tab

Live preview

The main area of the editor shows a live preview of your RSVP form. As you switch between page tabs, the preview updates to show what guests will see at that step.

A notice at the top of the preview reads "You are previewing your RSVP form. Changes will not be saved to your guest list." This means you can click through the form without affecting real guest data.

How the form saves guest progress

The RSVP form saves each step as guests complete it. This means:

  • You won't lose responses if a guest's browser crashes or they lose connection
  • Attendance is captured first so you always get the most important information
  • Partial responses are possible if a guest confirms attendance but closes the tab before answering all questions

Tips

Enable RSVPs before sharing. Guests can't access the RSVP form until you toggle on Enable RSVPs. Make sure it's enabled before sending out links or invitations.

Preview each page. Click through all the page tabs to see exactly what your guests will experience before going live.

Use View form to test. Click View form in the header to open your live RSVP form in a new tab and experience it as a guest would.
