How guests change their RSVP after submitting

RSVPFor guests

Plans change; a babysitter falls through, a flight opens up. You can update your RSVP yourself, right up until the wedding: your new answers simply replace the old ones, and the couple sees the update instantly. No account, no app, nothing to install.

Plan: For guests · Where: the couple’s RSVP link, QR code, or wedding page

Before you start

  • Use the same link or QR code you used the first time; from the invitation, the couple’s message, or the RSVP button on their wedding page.
  • If you RSVP’d by name (you searched for your invitation the first time), you can edit from any phone or computer. If the form didn’t ask you to search a name, use the same device you replied on so it can find your reply.

Steps

  1. Open the RSVP again. Scan the QR code or open the link from the couple, or open their wedding page and click RSVP.

  2. Load your earlier reply.

    • On the device you originally used, your reply opens automatically, with a note that your RSVP has already been submitted and you may continue to update it.
    • If the form asks you to find your invitation, type your first or last name, click Search, and pick your household; your previous answers load with it.

  3. Check the names. Your party is pre-filled. Add or remove people if your group changed; if the invitation has a guest limit, the form shows how many people it allows.

  4. Update your answers. Click Next through the steps and change whatever needs changing; contact details, Joyfully accept or Regretfully decline for each event, and any questions the couple asked. Everything you don’t touch stays as it was.

  5. Submit again. On the Review Your RSVP step, check the summary and click Submit. “RSVP saved successfully!” means your update went through; it replaces your earlier reply, so there’s no duplicate.

What you should see

The confirmation message, and you’re done; the couple’s dashboard updates immediately with your new answer. You can repeat this as often as plans change.

If something goes wrong

  • The form starts blank instead of showing your reply. You’re on a different device and this wedding’s RSVP doesn’t use name lookup. Don’t submit a second reply; message the couple instead; they can update your RSVP from their side in a few seconds.
  • Your name isn’t found when you search. Check the spelling, and try your first name or last name on its own. Still nothing? The couple may have you listed under another household name (a parent or partner); ask them.
  • Picked the wrong household? Click “Not you? Search again” and search once more.
