Is there a genuinely free RSVP website?

Yes. RSVPlinks is free for up to 20 RSVPs per event across up to 5 active events, with design options, a custom URL, QR code sharing, and host notification emails included. There are no adverts on your guests' page and no credit card needed.

What happens when I reach the free RSVP limit?

Your event and every reply you already received stay intact. To keep accepting responses past the cap you upgrade that single event — pricing starts at $7 for 75 RSVPs and is charged per event, not as a subscription.

Can I use a free RSVP website for a wedding?

For a small wedding, yes. Larger guest lists usually pass the free cap, and weddings often want extras like meal-choice questions, reminder emails, or table seating. Those sit on the paid tier, priced once for the event.

Will my guests see adverts?

Not on RSVPlinks, on free or paid. Some free invitation platforms fund themselves by showing adverts on the page your guests open — worth checking before you send the link out.

Can I use my own custom URL on the free plan?

Yes. You can set a readable address like rsvplinks.com/mayas-40th instead of a random string, which matters if you are reading it aloud or printing it on an invitation.

How to set up a free RSVP website

A free RSVP website gives your event its own page and collects replies for you. Here is what to expect from the free tier of any platform, what to check before you commit, and how to get yours live.

What a free RSVP website should give you

Free tiers vary a lot, and the differences only surface once you are halfway through building. Before you invest the time, check that the free plan covers:

A real event page with your own title, date, location, and description
A shareable link, ideally with a custom URL rather than a random string
A QR code for printed invitations
Design control — layout, colours, and fonts, not one fixed template
Yes / no / maybe replies, plus a headcount for plus-ones
A live guest list and running totals
Email notifications when someone replies
No adverts shown to your guests

The limits to look for

Free plans are limited somewhere, and where they are limited matters more than how generous the headline number sounds. The common restrictions are a cap on RSVPs per event, a cap on how many events you can run at once, adverts on your guests' page, a platform-branded URL you cannot change, and features like reminders or custom questions held back for paid tiers.

The one that catches people out is the RSVP cap, because you hit it mid-event. Check what happens when you reach it — whether the form closes, whether you can still see replies that already arrived, and what upgrading costs at that moment.

Free versus paid, honestly

For most gatherings, free is genuinely enough. A birthday dinner, a baby shower, a team lunch, a book club — these rarely pass twenty replies, and a free tier handles them end to end.

You outgrow free in three situations: the guest list is bigger than the cap, you need to email the whole list rather than just share a link, or you want something specific like table seating or collecting money from guests. RSVPlinks prices those per event from $7 rather than as a monthly subscription, so a once-a-year wedding does not mean a year of billing.

Setting yours up

The build itself is short. Start from a template if you want it done in minutes, or set the layout, palette, and fonts yourself if the look matters. Add your title, date, time, and venue, write two or three sentences covering dress code and parking, and decide what the form should ask.

Publish, and you have your link and QR code. Share the link by text, email, or WhatsApp, or print the code on a paper invitation. Replies land on your dashboard as they arrive.

Do guests pay or sign up?

They should never have to, on any platform worth using. Guests open the link, read the page, and reply — no account, no app, no charge. If a platform asks your guests to register before they can answer, expect a noticeably lower response rate, because a meaningful share of people abandon at that step.
