Wedding RSVP

Your guests get a page that takes three to five minutes: they say whether they're coming, pick a meal, and request a song for the dance floor. You get a live headcount, a meal tally for the caterer, and every dietary note in one place instead of scattered across texts, calls, and reply cards. This template handles both sides of that exchange with eight fields spread across a cover page, two content pages, and a closing thank-you.

From joyful accepts to a final caterer count

Every submission answers the questions that actually drive wedding planning. The required attendance question gives guests two clean choices, Joyfully accept or Regretfully decline, so your yes column never fills up with maybes. An optional Number of Guests field catches plus-ones and families without forcing solo guests through an extra step.

As responses arrive, Uplup's analytics show per-question breakdowns: how many chicken versus fish versus vegetarian versus vegan, how many declines, how many open dietary notes. When the caterer asks for final numbers, export everything to CSV and send it over. If you'd rather push each response somewhere else the moment it lands, webhooks and the Zapier connection handle that.

Eight questions, and only four are required

The form opens with the basics: full name and email are required, phone is optional. Then comes the attendance choice, followed by guest count and the required Meal Preference question with four options: Chicken, Fish, Vegetarian, or Vegan.

Two open text boxes finish things off. Dietary Restrictions gives guests room to flag allergies the four meal options can't cover, and Song Requests lets them shape the playlist, which doubles as a reason to actually enjoy filling this in. Both are optional, so guests in a hurry can skip straight to submit.

The template recommends conversational mode, which presents one question at a time like a chat instead of a wall of blank boxes. For an RSVP, that pacing feels closer to a note from the couple than paperwork. A progress bar and back navigation are there for guests who want to revise an answer before sending.

Make it match the invitation suite

Every field is editable. Swap Fish for a beef option, split attendance into ceremony and reception, or drop Song Requests if the band has a fixed setlist. You can also rewrite the two attendance answers if Joyfully accept reads too formal for your crowd.

Branding controls let you set colors and add a logo or monogram so the form sits comfortably next to your printed stationery. When it's ready, share it as a link, print a QR code on the physical invitations, or embed it on your wedding website. If that site runs on WordPress, the Uplup plugin gives you a shortcode instead of copy-pasted code.

Who sends this RSVP

Couples running their own planning are the obvious fit, but wedding planners use it too, keeping each client's responses in a separate copy of the form so nothing gets mixed up between weddings. It also covers the events orbiting the big day: duplicate it, trim a few fields, and you have an RSVP for the rehearsal dinner or the morning-after brunch.

It's free to use on Uplup, which matters at the one moment in life when every other vendor is quoting you four figures. Set it up in an afternoon, send it with the invitations, and let the yes column fill itself in.
