A reply, not a form.
Every guest gets their own link, in the design of the invitation it came with. Where a family shares one line on your list, that one link answers for everyone on it — and the count you are watching moves the moment they do.
How a reply happens.
Their own link
By email, by text, or by scanning the code printed on their invitation. They do not create an account, choose a password, or find themselves on a mailing list.
Their own evening
Their name, their household, the date and place, and — if you have added it — their table. The page wears your approved invitation’s colour and lettering, not a generic form.
They answer what you asked
Attending or not, dietary needs, a plus-one’s name, and any question you have added. Where a family shares one line on your list, that line’s link replies for everyone on it at once, and every answer lands on the guest’s record.
Your count updates
One live number, broken down by household and group. The seating chart re-resolves. Nobody has to be chased, and nothing has to be typed twice.
What they can tell you.
Yes or no, per person
A family sharing one line on your list answers for everyone on it at once — two yeses and one no — and each answer lands on the right person.
The meal, and the note
A choice from your menu, and what they cannot eat, said in their own words.
A plus-one, with a name
Invited with a plus-one before you knew who. When the name arrives it flows to the place card and the seat without you retyping it. Until it does, the seat is held rather than counted.
Anything you asked
An address for the thank-you card, a song request, a word for the guest book. Your questions, your form. Nothing is mandatory.
Why a private link,
and not one shared form.
Without
A form anyone can fill in. You cannot tell who has not replied, because you cannot tell who has. Duplicate entries, names spelled three ways, a plus-one nobody can attribute, and a final count reconciled by hand against the invitation list.
With Evorrah
A link that knows who it belongs to. Every reply attaches to a real person on your list. “Who has not answered” is a question with an exact answer — which is what makes a reminder possible without pestering the people who already replied.
What the count actually tells you.
Invited, replied, attending — three numbers that never agree, set beside each other honestly.
The count is one figure, broken down by household and by group, and it is the figure the seating chart, the caterer and the door all read. A plus-one with no name is shown as held, not as a yes.
Each morning that brings new replies brings a short note naming them and saying what they mean — a table now full, a dietary need the kitchen has not seen, a group that has gone quiet. It says what is true and checkable. It never dresses a readout up as advice.
What a reply actually looks like.
Every guest gets their own reply piece, in the design of their invitation rather than a form in someone else’s brand. These are reply and RSVP cards as delivered — the paper half of the same answer the reply page records.
Reply cards from six delivered events — each in its own event’s design
As delivered.
The reply page as a guest opened it, on four delivered events — an anniversary, a bar mitzvah, a baby shower and a pool party.
Rendered from the file each event ran as — its own guests, dates and colour. Open any one to see it full size.
What it will not do.
A reply is a fact about one person. These are standing rules, not settings.
- Count a maybe as a yes, or a held plus-one as a person in the room
- Ask a guest to create an account or choose a password
- Show one guest another guest’s answer
- Chase the people who have already answered everything
- Lose a change of mind — a guest reopens their own link and the record updates rather than duplicates
- Put a reply on a mailing list
A reply goes on the guest’s record and nowhere else. Everything that needs the answer reads it there.
