Wedding Party RSVP – Guest List, Invitation & Event Manager for WordPress Plugin Directory

Live preview: Wedding Party RSVP Pro (Premium demo on InstaWP) — open a temporary site with the full premium plugin pre-installed; no purchase required.

Stop chasing replies across group chats and reconciling half-finished spreadsheets the week before you walk down the aisle. Wedding Party RSVP gives planners and couples a single source of truth inside WordPress—every RSVP, headcount, and meal note lives in one guest list your whole team can trust from save-the-date to seating.

Less stress for your planning team – Shared visibility in wp-admin replaces version chaos; everyone works off the same guest list instead of emailing fragile copies back and forth.

Fewer “we thought they were coming” surprises – Clear statuses and structured follow-up help you confirm attendance earlier, so catering and rentals are not guessing at the last minute.

Confidence at the venue – One accurate count for who is attending, what they are eating, and how many plus ones are included—aligned with how your invites are organized.

Faster setup, fewer “who never replied?” gaps – Getting started checklist on the Wedding Dashboard, Next steps when RSVPs are still pending, quick straggler filters (missing email, phone, or address), and links on the Plugins screen: Live demo (WordPress Playground, free plugin) and Try Premium (full Pro on a temporary InstaWP site).

Guests sign in with a simple Party ID, so households RSVP together while you manage plus ones like a built-in plus one manager tied to each invite code (not stray “+1” notes buried in email threads). The plugin works as a meal choice collector for adult entrées with dietary notes, supports event capacity limits when you need to cap attendance, and includes wedding guest list export when finance, catering, or your venue needs the latest numbers in one place.

Built with modern WordPress patterns so multiple planners can collaborate in the dashboard at once—roles and permissions stay native while you update invitations, meals, and RSVP status together on desktop or mobile.

Gift registry links: Under Wedding RSVP → Settings → Frontend Display, add one or more registry URLs (Amazon, Zola, etc.). Guests see the links on the public RSVP page after entering their Party ID.

Try It Live – Preview This Plugin Instantly Experience Wedding Party RSVP without installation: the blueprint installs the plugin from WordPress.org, creates sample guests and menu options, and sets the site homepage to a Wedding RSVP page with the [wedding_rsvp_form] shortcode. Log in as admin / password to explore wp-admin (e.g. Wedding RSVP).

Preview on WordPress Playground

The same blueprint ships in the plugin package as blueprint.json (repository root) and assets/blueprints/blueprint.json. WordPress.org also serves a copy from the plugin SVN for directory integration. Example Party IDs in the demo: SMITH-001, JONES-002, DAVIS-005.

External Services This plugin does not call third-party APIs for core RSVP storage. Optional behaviors:

Party ID preview (public REST) — The wgrsvp/v1/party-preview endpoint is served by your own WordPress site. It is rate-limited per visitor IP (default 40 requests per minute; filter wgrsvp_party_preview_rate_limit_max). No off-site service is contacted for this feature.

InstaWP (optional Pro preview) — The readme Try It Live section and wp-admin may link to InstaWP (app.instawp.io) so administrators or visitors can open a temporary WordPress site preloaded with Wedding Party RSVP Pro to evaluate premium features. The user’s browser navigates to InstaWP; provisioning, session length, and data handling are governed by InstaWP, not by this plugin’s server-side code. See InstaWP Terms of Service and InstaWP Privacy Policy.

WordPress AI Client (optional) — This feature is available on WordPress 7.0 and later (the WordPress AI Client provides wp_ai_client_prompt; configure your provider under Settings → Connectors in WordPress). On older versions, AI wording controls are not shown. On Wedding RSVP → General Settings, “AI wording…” sends only the assistant instructions you trigger plus optional notes you type in the browser to the AI provider configured in WordPress. No guest list data is sent. Add your provider’s Terms and Privacy links to your site policies when you enable AI.

Guest Hub — Google Maps (optional link) — After a successful RSVP (Interactivity flow) or on the thank-you page, the Guest Hub can show Open in Google Maps when Settings → Logistics includes an event location/venue. The plugin builds a standard https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=… URL using that text; opening the link is done in the guest’s browser and sends the encoded venue string to Google. No server-to-server call is made by the plugin for this link. See Google Maps Platform Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.

RSVP deadline reminder emails (optional) — When enabled under Settings → Logistics, a daily scheduled task may send wp_mail reminders to guests with a pending RSVP (and optionally declined) on the days you configure before the RSVP deadline. Delivery uses your WordPress email configuration (SMTP plugin, host mail, etc.); no separate third-party API is required for email. Wedding Party RSVP Pro can optionally send the same guests an SMS via Twilio when that add-on is configured (see Pro readme External Services).

Caterer portal (optional magic link) — Wedding RSVP → Caterer portal lets administrators generate a secret URL that shows a read-only meal summary by table on your own site. No off-site API is called; anyone with the link can view the summary until you revoke or regenerate the token.

Client summary link (optional magic link) — Wedding RSVP → Client summary lets administrators generate a secret URL that shows aggregate RSVP and meal/dietary counts on your own site (no guest names). No off-site API is called; anyone with the link can view the summary until you revoke or regenerate the token.

Third-party libraries This plugin bundles FPDF (version 1.86, © Olivier Plathey) under includes/lib/fpdf/ for optional Export check-in PDF in the guest list. FPDF is free software; see the header comment in fpdf.php for license terms.
