How do I send RSVP reminders?
Send reminder emails to guests who haven't responded to encourage them to RSVP.
Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan
Short answer: Turn on Send reminder emails in your RSVP emails and set your RSVP on deadline. WedSites then emails every unconfirmed guest the day before the deadline. You can also send a reminder yourself at any time from Sending.
Enabling reminder emails
Go to RSVP > Form
Click Edit emails
Find Send reminder emails
Toggle it on
Under Send reminder emails to, choose All unconfirmed guests, Unconfirmed A-list guests, or Unconfirmed B-list guests
Set your deadline in RSVP on
Click Save changes
The automatic reminder is sent once, the day before your RSVP on date. It's only sent while RSVPs are enabled.
Who receives reminders
Automatic reminders go to:
- Guests whose RSVP status is Unconfirmed (invited but not yet responded), limited to the A-list or B-list if you chose one
- Only guests with their own email address
They don't go to guests who are Confirmed, Declined, or Not invited.
Customizing reminder emails
Under RSVP reminder you can personalize:
- Subject
- Message
- Button (the label on the RSVP button)
Click Preview email to see how it looks.
Tips
The automatic reminder only goes out the day before your deadline, so send an earlier one yourself from Sending 2-3 weeks ahead
Keep the tone friendly, not demanding
Include a direct link to RSVP
Follow up personally with close family who don't respond
