Enabling RSVP menu button
Learn how to add a prominent RSVP button to your navigation menu so guests can easily respond to your wedding invitation.
Want guests to easily find your RSVP page? You can add an RSVP button directly in your navigation menu! This makes it super convenient for guests to respond to your invitation.
What the RSVP menu button does
Adds an RSVP link to your navigation menu.
Stands out visually. Your theme styles it differently from the other menu links.
Links to your RSVP page. Guests click it to respond.
Customizable text. Change what the button says.
Requirements
This feature requires:
A paid plan with RSVP features. Standard or Pro plan.
If you're on the Basic plan, you'll see a message to upgrade instead of the toggle.
How to enable the RSVP menu button
Go to Website in your main navigation
Click on the settings icon to open Site settings
Click the Menu tab at the top
Scroll down to find Display RSVP link in menu
Turn the toggle on
The button text field appears below
Optionally customize the RSVP link text (defaults to "RSVP")
Click Save changes at the bottom
An RSVP button now appears in your navigation menu!
Customizing the button text
After enabling the toggle, you'll see the RSVP link text field.
Default: "RSVP"
Custom examples:
- "RSVP by March 1st"
- "Respond Here"
- "Let Us Know"
- "Reply"
- "RSVP Now"
The text can be anything you want! Just keep it short enough to fit in the menu.
Where the button appears
The RSVP button is always the last item in your navigation menu, after your page links, custom links, and check-in link.
On larger screens, if your menu has too many links to fit on one line, the extra links collapse into a More (⋯) dropdown, but the RSVP button always stays visible at the end.
Your theme controls the exact appearance, such as whether it uses your accent color as a background or a border.
Button vs. regular link
The RSVP menu button is styled differently than regular navigation links to make it stand out. Depending on your theme, it can have:
Background color or border in your accent color
Button shape (rounded corners, padding)
This makes it obvious where guests should click to RSVP!
RSVP link destination
The button always links to your RSVP form at /rsvp on your wedding website (for example, yoursite.wedsites.com/rsvp), and opens it in a new browser tab. Guests find themselves on your guest list there and respond.
It doesn't link to a page or section you've built yourself, and you can't change where it goes.
Disabling the RSVP menu button
To remove the RSVP button from your menu:
Go to Site settings → Menu tab
Find Display RSVP link in menu
Turn the toggle off
Click Save changes
The button disappears from your navigation!
RSVP menu button vs. RSVP page link
RSVP menu button: Special styled button (this feature)
Your own RSVP page in navigation: If you've created a page of your own about RSVPs (for example, with a button that links to your RSVP form), it appears as a regular link, managed under Navigation links
You can have:
- Just the button (turn off Show in navigation for your own page)
- Just your own page link (turn off the button)
- Both (button stands out more, page link is there too)
- Neither (guests reach the RSVP form through a direct link or a button on your site)
Most people use just the button for a clean look!
Timing considerations
Before RSVP deadline: Enable the button so guests can respond
After RSVP deadline: Consider disabling it so guests don't keep RSVPing
After the wedding: Definitely disable it, guests don't need to RSVP anymore
You can toggle it on and off anytime!
Including the deadline in button text
If you want to add urgency:
"RSVP by March 1st"
This reminds guests of the deadline right in the button!
To do this:
1. Enable Display RSVP link in menu
2. In the RSVP link text field, type: "RSVP by March 1st"
3. Save
The button text updates!
Mobile experience
The RSVP button appears in mobile menus too! On phones, your navigation collapses behind a menu button, and the RSVP button appears at the end of the menu when guests open it.
Test on mobile to make sure it's easy to find and tap!
Button styling
You can't directly control the button's color or styling through this setting. The appearance is controlled by your theme's design.
To change colors:
- Adjust your theme's accent color (in Site settings → Design tab)
- Or use custom CSS if you're comfortable with code
Multiple call-to-action buttons
You might have multiple buttons in your menu:
- RSVP button (this feature)
- Check-in button (separate feature)
- Custom links (styled the same as your page links)
Make sure your menu doesn't get too crowded!
Accessibility
The RSVP button should be easy to find and click:
High contrast: Button should stand out from the background
Large enough: Easy to tap on mobile
Clear text: Obvious what the button does
Test with friends or family to ensure it's intuitive!
Analytics
Clicks on the RSVP menu button aren't tracked separately. Your website analytics show overall visits to your site, including which checked-in guests visited.
After wedding use
After your wedding, you probably want to:
Disable the Display RSVP link in menu toggle
Remove RSVP from your site entirely
Or keep your site as a memory without the RSVP functionality
The button is easy to turn off when you don't need it anymore!
Enabling the RSVP menu button makes it super easy for guests to find and submit their responses, increasing your RSVP rate and reducing confusion!
