ARIWEB Event Invitations & RSVP vs Booking Calendar

ARIWEB Event Invitations & RSVP helps WordPress site owners, designers, agencies and event planners create private invitation experiences with online attendance confirmations. The idea is simple: design the invitation your way, upload the PDF to WordPress and let the plugin handle the confirmation process. The plugin can serve the PDF invitation with a clickable RSVP link, so guests can open the confirmation page directly from the invitation. This makes it useful for weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, family events, private celebrations, religious events, corporate events and any occasion where the organizer wants a beautiful invitation plus an organized RSVP workflow. The plugin does not limit the invitation design. You can create the visual PDF in Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma or any design tool, upload it to the system and manage the sharing and confirmations from WordPress. Why organizers like it Guests receive a clean invitation experience instead of a complicated form link. The organizer keeps full control inside WordPress. PDF invitations can include a clickable RSVP link. The event can have individual or general invitations. Each invitation can have its own guest limit. Responses are stored and reviewed from the WordPress admin area. The plugin supports Spanish and English for both the public form and the admin screens. A multilingual plugin is not required, but the plugin can work with common multilingual setups. PDF invitation workflow Upload your designed PDF invitation and use it as the event invitation file. The plugin can share the PDF link and include a clickable link that takes guests to the RSVP page. You can also assign a different PDF to a specific invitation when one guest, family or group needs a personalized file. The design is created by the organizer or designer. The plugin focuses on sharing, RSVP access, guest limits and response management. Main features Create and manage one or more private events. Add an RSVP form to any WordPress page with a shortcode. Create individual invitations for a person, couple, family or group. Create general invitations that can be shared with multiple guests. Set a maximum number of attendees for each invitation. Assign expected guest names to an invitation. Show or hide assigned guests on the public RSVP form. Allow unnamed companion slots when the organizer does not know every guest name yet. Generate short invitation links for easier sharing. Generate secure invitation links with an additional access token. Share confirmation pages, PDF invitations and WhatsApp links from the admin panel. Upload a base PDF for the event, or leave it empty and share only the RSVP page. Invitations that use the event base PDF automatically use the newest PDF when the event PDF is replaced. Upload a specific PDF for a single invitation when needed. Enable or disable the optional phone and message fields per event. Download PDFs with clear filenames using the event name and invitation code. Generate a separate general PDF that links to the general RSVP form without an invite code. Add a clickable RSVP link inside generated PDF invitations. Track responses such as attending, not attending and not answered. Filter responses by event, status, invitation type, search terms and dates. Export response data from the admin panel. Use optional Google reCAPTCHA v3 and a honeypot field to reduce spam. Create limited event users so a client or couple can review only their assigned event. Keep existing events, invitations and responses during normal plugin updates. Choose the global public form language: automatic, Spanish or English. Choose the language per invitation when one invite needs Spanish and another needs English. Choose the plugin admin language: automatic, Spanish or English. Preview the selected PDF inside the Invitations tab before sharing it. Detect the active locale from WordPress and common multilingual plugins such as WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress. Language support The plugin includes built-in Spanish and English support for the public RSVP form and the WordPress admin screens. The administrator can choose the default language for the public form from the plugin settings: Automatic language detection. Spanish. English. Each invitation can also have its own form language. This is useful when one guest or group should receive the RSVP form in Spanish and another one should receive it in English. The administrator can also choose the language for the plugin admin screens: Automatic language detection. Spanish. English. A multilingual plugin is not required. If the site already uses WPML, Polylang or TranslatePress, the plugin can follow the active language when the setting is set to automatic. Recommended workflow Create an event in the Events tab. Add the event name, date, location and public page URL. Upload the base PDF invitation if you want to share a PDF. Copy the event shortcode and paste it into the WordPress page that will display the RSVP form. Create individual or general invitations in the Invitations tab. Set the maximum number of attendees and choose the form language for each invitation if needed. Preview the selected PDF before saving or sharing. Share the confirmation page link, PDF link or WhatsApp option. Review responses in the Responses or Summary screens. Invitation types Individual invitation Use this when the invitation belongs to one specific person, couple, family or group. It can have a guest limit, assigned guest names, an optional contact email or phone number and a secure access link. General invitation Use this when the same invitation link may be shared with multiple people. This is useful when you do not need a separate invitation record for each person. Shortcode The main shortcode is: [ariwevin_event_rsvp] The recommended format is to specify the event slug, especially if you want to place the same form on multiple pages or translated pages: [ariwevin_event_rsvp event="my-event-slug"] Example: [ariwevin_event_rsvp event="paola-jahziel-wedding"] You can also use the alias [ariweb_event_rsvp event="my-event-slug"] if you prefer the public Ariweb naming. You can also add an optional title: [ariwevin_event_rsvp event="paola-jahziel-wedding" title="Confirm your attendance"] Resumen en español ARIWEB Event Invitations & RSVP permite crear invitaciones privadas, compartir invitaciones en PDF y recibir confirmaciones de asistencia desde WordPress.

Language modes: automatic, Spanish and English for the public form and plugin admin screens. Optional multilingual compatibility helpers: WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress. Optional anti-spam integration: Google reCAPTCHA v3. RSVP data is stored in custom WordPress database tables owned by the site. The plugin is not a ticketing, payment or ecommerce system. The amount of PDF files or invitations you can manage depends on your hosting storage, upload limits and database capacity. External Services This plugin can optionally use Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection. reCAPTCHA is disabled unless the site administrator adds a reCAPTCHA site key and secret key in the plugin settings. When reCAPTCHA v3 is enabled, the public RSVP form loads the Google reCAPTCHA JavaScript API from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js. This is required to generate an anti-spam token in the visitor’s browser. When a visitor submits the RSVP form, the plugin sends a verification request to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify. The request includes the reCAPTCHA secret key configured by the administrator, the token generated by Google reCAPTCHA, and the visitor IP address. The plugin does not send the RSVP name, phone number, guest count, invitation notes or attendee details to Google reCAPTCHA. Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google LLC. Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms Google reCAPTCHA information: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/ Privacy This plugin can store personal information related to RSVP management, such as guest name, phone number, attendance status, number of attendees, attendee details, invitation code, IP address and browser user agent. This data is stored on the site owner’s WordPress database and is used to manage the event and its attendance confirmations. The plugin does not send RSVP names, phone numbers, guest counts or attendee details to Ariweb or to any Ariweb server. If Google reCAPTCHA v3 is enabled by the site administrator, the plugin connects to Google as described in the External Services section. The plugin integrates with the WordPress privacy tools by adding suggested privacy policy content and supporting personal data export and erasure where applicable.
