The caterer needs a number. Your family group has 140 members and everyone replies "yes, we will come" in a different chat. Here is a calmer way.

How it works

1. Create your event in the free Guest List & WhatsApp RSVP tool: name, date, time, venue and a Google Maps link. You log in with your email (no password).
2. Add guests one by one or paste a whole list, one line each: name, phone, number of people.
3. Tap the green Send button next to each guest. WhatsApp opens with a ready message and that family's personal link.
4. They tap the link, choose Yes, No or Maybe and how many people are coming. No app, no login.
5. Your dashboard shows Coming, Not coming, Maybe and No reply, with the total number of people.

One link for a WhatsApp group

Want to post in the family group? Use the open link. Anyone can reply with their name. Personal links are still best for elders and VIPs, because you know exactly who has replied.

Tips that save the most time

  • Send the e-invite image first, then the RSVP link in the next message.
  • After 3 days, use the No reply filter and send a gentle reminder from the same button.
  • If someone replies on a phone call, open the ••• menu next to their name and set the reply yourself.
  • Download the list for Excel and send the final count to the caterer.
