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 spreadsheets the week before the wedding. Wedding Party RSVP gives planners and couples a single guest list inside WordPress—every RSVP, headcount, and meal note in one place from save-the-date to seating. Prefer a hosted wedding website? The optional Wedding RSVP site builder at weddingrsvp.pro provisions a branded subdomain with templates and this RSVP stack included. Self-hosted WordPress (this free plugin, with or without Pro) remains fully supported. Less stress for your planning team – Shared visibility in wp-admin replaces emailed spreadsheet copies. Fewer last-minute surprises – Clear statuses and follow-up help you confirm attendance earlier for catering and rentals. Confidence at the venue – One accurate count for who is attending, meals, and plus ones. Faster setup – Getting started checklist, Next steps for pending RSVPs, straggler filters (missing email, phone, or address), plus Live demo (WordPress Playground) and Try Premium (InstaWP) links on the Plugins screen. Companion apps (free): The Wedding RSVP iOS/Android companion works with this free plugin—coordinators and guests connect from Wedding RSVP → Mobile App (site URL, connect link, hub join link, or Connect to Wedding RSVP App Network for a short join code). No Pro license is required for core dashboard, guest list, and Party ID RSVP. Pro adds reminders, push alerts, photo gallery uploads, seating, and AI. Android: Google Play. iOS is pending Apple App Store approval (available on TestFlight until then). Guests sign in with a Party ID so households RSVP together. Collect adult entrée choices and dietary notes, set event capacity limits, and export the guest list when catering or your venue needs numbers. Gift registry links: Under Wedding RSVP → Settings → Frontend Display, add registry URLs (Amazon, Zola, etc.). Guests see them 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 (including dietary notes and dessert choices on DAVIS-005), sets event details for the guest hub, 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. Preview the premium plugin — try Wedding Party RSVP Pro on a temporary demo site (no purchase required; hosted by InstaWP): Preview Wedding Party RSVP Pro on InstaWP For a short visual overview of setup and the admin dashboard, see the walkthrough on the plugin information page. How to Purchase Pro Go to https://landtechwebdesigns.com/wedding-party-rsvp-wordpress-plugin/ Purchase the license key to unlock the full suite of features. 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). Multi-step drip journey emails (optional) — When enabled under Settings → Logistics, an hourly scheduled task may send sequenced wp_mail follow-ups (up to a small fixed step count) to guests in a chosen segment. Delivery uses your WordPress email configuration; no separate third-party API is required for email. When the drip journey is enabled, it supersedes the legacy daily deadline reminder cron. SMS drip steps require Wedding Party RSVP Pro + Twilio (see Pro readme). Deleting the plugin drops drip tables/options; Erase Personal Data also removes drip rows for matching guest IDs. Amazon Associates (optional, off by default) — When the site owner enables Amazon Associates under gift registry settings and provides their Associate tag, Amazon registry links are rewritten in the guest’s browser to include the tag= query parameter. Opening such a link sends the guest’s browser to Amazon; standard request data is processed by Amazon under its policies. The plugin makes no server-to-server calls to Amazon for this feature. An Amazon Associates disclosure is shown automatically below the registry links while the tag is active. See the Amazon Associates Operating Agreement and Amazon Privacy Notice. Skimlinks affiliate links (optional, off by default) — When the site owner enables the Skimlinks option under the gift registry settings and provides their Skimlinks publisher ID, non-Amazon registry links are rewritten to the documented Skimlinks redirect format (https://go.skimresources.com/?id=…&url=…). When a guest clicks such a link, their browser is sent to Skimlinks (Taboola), which records the click for commission attribution and redirects to the destination store; the destination URL and standard request data (such as IP address and user agent) are processed by Skimlinks at that time. The plugin makes no server-to-server calls to Skimlinks and loads no Skimlinks JavaScript. An affiliate disclosure is shown automatically below the registry links while the feature is active. See the Skimlinks Publisher Terms and Skimlinks Privacy Policy. Order prints partners (optional admin links) — The guest list may show Order prints links to Printful, Canva, and Gelato so coordinators can order place cards and related stationery after exporting CSV/PDF. Opening a link is done in the administrator’s browser; the plugin makes no server-to-server calls and does not upload the guest list automatically. Links may include affiliate/referral tracking so Land Tech Web Designs can earn a commission at no extra cost to the site; an affiliate disclosure is shown with the panel. Destination URLs can be configured on the weddingrsvp.pro hub (Pro → Mobile App → hub settings). Site owners can hide the panel under Settings → Frontend Display. See Printful Terms, Canva Terms, and Gelato Terms. 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. Wedding RSVP companion hub (optional) — Wedding RSVP → Mobile App can Connect to Wedding RSVP App Network, which sends registration metadata to https://weddingrsvp.pro (POST /wp-json/wpr-pro/v1/network/register): site URL, wedding/party display name, optional partner names, optional logo URL, and optional city/state/ZIP. The hub verifies this site via wgrsvp/v1/app-config, stores directory metadata only (no guest list), and records tier free. Pairing without registration still works via site URL, connect link, or /app/join?url=…. When Pro is active, use Pro’s Mobile App Connect instead (hub records Pro). Land Tech Privacy Policy Google reCAPTCHA v3 (optional guestbook) — When reCAPTCHA v3 site and secret keys are available (Guestbook settings override, or inherited from WSB Hub → Connection on the same site), the public guestbook loads Google’s script from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=… and verifies submissions via https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify (score + action wgrsvp_guestbook). Google may receive the captcha token and visitor IP at verify time. See Google reCAPTCHA Terms and Google Privacy Policy. Cloudflare Turnstile (optional guestbook backup) — When Turnstile site and secret keys are configured locally or on WSB Hub → Connection (used if Google is not set, or if reCAPTCHA fails to run), the guestbook loads https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js and verifies via https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify. Cloudflare may receive the token and visitor IP at verify time. See Cloudflare Terms and Cloudflare Privacy Policy. 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.
