How to add an RSVP link to your wedding website

Updated · RSVPlinks

Your wedding website holds the story, the schedule and the registry. An RSVP link gives it a reply button that works the same on the site, in a text and on the printed invitation, with every answer on one guest list.

Step by step

  1. Create the RSVP page

    Open the event builder, add the couple's names as the title, then the date, time and venue. Pick a design and publish. You get one RSVP link and a matching QR code.

  2. Decide what the form asks

    Yes, No and Maybe plus a headcount is enough for most weddings. Ask for an email or mailing address if you need one. Meal choices and a reply-by date are available on a paid event.

  3. Copy the link

    Open the event's share options on your dashboard and copy the link. Download the QR code too if the same RSVP will go on a printed invitation.

  4. Add an RSVP button to the website

    In your site editor, add a button labelled 'RSVP' and paste the link as its web address. On Squarespace that is a Button block with the link attached under URL. On Wix, select the button, click the Link icon and choose Web address. On any other builder, add a button or a line of text and link it.

  5. Put it where guests look

    Place the button near the top of the home page and again at the bottom. If your site has a navigation menu or an RSVP page, link it there as well, so nobody has to hunt for it.

  6. Publish and test on a phone

    Publish the site, open it on your phone and tap the button. Links often do nothing inside a site editor, so test the live page. Then send yourself a test reply and check that it shows on your dashboard.

If your wedding website already has an RSVP

Zola, The Knot and Minted each include their own online RSVP. On Zola and Minted, guests open the RSVP page and find themselves by the name on the guest list you entered. If every guest will reply on the website and that flow suits you, you do not need anything else.

A separate RSVP link earns its place when replies come from more than one direction: a QR code on the paper invitation, a link in the family group chat, and the website. It also helps when you would rather not type the whole guest list in before anyone can reply. Guests open the link and answer; there is no name lookup.

Use one RSVP, not two. Zola and The Knot both have a per-event setting that switches the built-in online RSVP off. Turn it off before you add your own button, or guests will reply in two places and neither count will be right.

Adding the link on each kind of site

The exact menus differ, but every builder does the same thing: a button or a line of text that opens a web address.

  • Squarespace: add a Button block, set the text to 'RSVP', attach a link and paste the address under URL
  • Wix: select a button, click the Link icon, choose Web address and paste the link
  • Zola, The Knot, Minted: add a line of text or a button on a page you can edit, and paste the RSVP link
  • Canva website: select the button, open the More menu, choose Link and paste it
  • Your own site: an ordinary link on the word 'RSVP' is all it takes

One guest list for paper, text and the website

Most weddings invite people three ways. Older relatives get a card, friends get a text, and everyone is pointed at the website. If each route has its own reply method, you end up merging lists by hand the week the caterer wants a number.

Put the same link behind all three. Print the QR code on the card with the link in small type beneath it, paste the link into the text, and link the website button. Replies land on one dashboard with running totals for attending, maybe and declined, and you can export the list as a spreadsheet.

Who can see the RSVP page

Every guest uses the same link. It is not a unique link per guest, so anyone who has it can open the page and reply. Share it with invited guests rather than posting it publicly.

Event pages are kept out of search engines unless you choose to publish the event to your public host profile. Guests do not create an account or set a password, which is also why the page cannot be locked to named individuals.

What it costs

The RSVP link and QR code are free for up to 20 RSVPs per event, which suits an elopement or a rehearsal dinner. Larger weddings are priced once per event, starting at $7 for 75 RSVPs. There is no subscription.

A paid event adds custom questions for meal choices or song requests, a reply-by date that closes the form, guest limits, and a custom URL short enough to print. Guests never pay, sign up or install anything.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add an RSVP to my wedding website?
Create an RSVP link, then add a button or a line of text to your wedding website and paste the link as its web address. Publish the site and tap the button on your phone to check it. Guests who tap it see the event details and reply in their browser.
Can I use my own RSVP link on Zola or The Knot?
Both have their own built-in RSVP, and that is the simplest choice if every guest will reply on the site. If you want one guest list across paper invitations, texts and the website, add a text link or button pointing to your RSVP link and switch the built-in online RSVP off so guests do not reply twice.
How do I add an RSVP button on Squarespace or Wix?
On Squarespace, add a Button block, type 'RSVP' as the text, attach a link and paste your RSVP link under URL. On Wix, select a button, click the Link icon, choose Web address and paste the link. Publish, then test the live site.
Do guests need an account or a code to RSVP?
No. The link opens in any phone or desktop browser. Guests do not sign up, download an app, enter a code or look themselves up on a list. They type their name and reply.
Is the RSVP link private?
The page is not listed in search engines unless you publish the event to your public profile. It is one shared link, though, not a unique link for each guest, so anyone you send it to can open it and reply. Keep it off public posts if the wedding is invitation-only.
Can I use the same RSVP link on printed invitations?
Yes. Download the QR code for the event and print it on the invitation or an enclosure card. It opens the same page as the website button, so paper and online replies are counted together.
