RSVPs help you plan numbers, catering, and seating, but how you ask is an art that keeps guests comfortable. Here is modern RSVP etiquette.
What RSVP means
RSVP is French for "please respond" — you ask guests to tell you whether they will attend. The clearer the request, the faster the reply.
How to ask politely
Use warm, clear wording and offer one way to reply. Find ready phrases in how to word your wedding invitation.
Set an RSVP deadline
Ask for replies 2–3 weeks before the wedding so you can confirm numbers with the venue and caterer. State the deadline clearly on the invitation.
Digital vs card RSVP
With 3ersy, activation and coordination happen via your channels (WhatsApp/Facebook/Instagram), so no paper card is needed. The digital invitation gathers everything in one link. Learn about digital invitations.
Following up gracefully
If some guests have not replied, send a friendly direct reminder a few days before the deadline, without pressure. A short WhatsApp message usually does it.

When should the RSVP deadline be?
Two to three weeks before the wedding, to give yourself time to confirm numbers with the venue.
How do I handle plus-ones?
State the number of seats reserved per guest on the invitation; clarity up front prevents awkwardness.
