💌 How Guests Access the RSVP Form

Guests can reach your RSVP through your website, a direct link, an E-Card invitation or a QR code on a printed invite.
Once they click, they’re taken straight to your form.

🔐 How Guests Identify Themselves

Guests identify themselves by entering their email or phone number.
TTO uses this to match them to their guest profile in your Guestlist.
If the system can’t match them, their submission appears in your RSVP Inbox for review.

🟩 Confirming Attendance

Guests first answer the default attendance question — “Are you attending?”
This response powers:

  • RSVP totals

  • Guestlist attendance

  • Floorplan attendance

  • Overview statistics

Only the default attendance question updates attendance across your event.

🧒 Adding Plus-Ones

If plus-ones are enabled, guests can add:

  • A named plus-one

  • An unnamed placeholder

  • No plus-one

All plus-one details sync instantly to your Guestlist.

🍽 Answering Meal & Dietary Questions

Guests can complete any catering questions you include, such as meal choices, allergies, dietary needs or kids’ meals. These automatically fill into your sparkle fields in the Guestlist.

🚗 Answering Additional Questions

Depending on your setup, guests may also see optional questions about transportation, accommodation, children attending, song requests, accessibility or anything else you’ve added.

🧾 Reviewing Their Summary

Before submitting, guests see a final summary of all their answers.
After submitting, they receive a confirmation email with the full response.
(For this reason, always test using your own contact details.

🔁 Editing Their RSVP

If editing is enabled, guests can return to the form anytime, enter their email or phone and update their responses. All changes sync to your Guestlist automatically.

📘 Why Understanding the Guest View Matters

Seeing the form as guests do helps you design a clearer RSVP experience, reduce errors, avoid duplicates and ensure you collect all the details you need.
