Can guests change their RSVP?

Let guests update their response if their plans change after initially RSVPing.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: Yes, guests can usually RSVP again to update their response. The new submission replaces the previous one.

How guests update their RSVP

  1. Guest returns to your RSVP page
  2. They search for their name again
  3. They see their previous response pre-filled (or start fresh)
  4. They make changes and submit
  5. The new response replaces the old one

Controlling response changes

Depending on your settings:
- Allow changes anytime before the deadline
- Allow changes only while the form is open
- Require guests to contact you for changes

What gets updated

When a guest re-submits:
- Attendance status (yes/no)
- Event selections
- Meal choices
- Question responses
- Plus-one information

When to limit changes

Consider limiting changes if:
- You've already given final counts to caterers
- Seating arrangements are finalized
- The deadline has passed

Tips

  • Include instructions in the confirmation email about changing RSVPs
  • Monitor for last-minute changes near your deadline
  • Export your data after the deadline for final counts
  • You can manually lock responses by closing the form
  • Changes show the timestamp of the latest submission
