Quick answers

Can I track meal choices and plus-ones in a digital guest list?

Yes. In WedKit each invitation holds everyone it covers, plus-ones included, and each person picks their own meal when the invitation is answered. The choice and any dietary notes are saved on that person's guest record, so you see who ordered what and the total for each dish without a spreadsheet.

What's the best way to collect meal choices with an online RSVP?

Ask in the RSVP itself instead of a separate form. Guests who say yes choose a meal and note allergies in the same reply, so you aren't chasing a second answer, and the meal deadline matches the RSVP deadline. Guests don't need an account; they open the RSVP from their invitation.

Can I export RSVP responses and meal choices to a spreadsheet for the caterer?

Yes. WedKit downloads the guest list as a CSV that opens in Excel or Google Sheets, with a column for each course's choice plus dietary restrictions and notes. The meal summary also gives the count for each dish, ready to send to your caterer.

How it works

Meals as part of the RSVP

One step for guests. One list for you, and a clean count for the caterer.

  1. Add the options your caterer offers

    Mains, a vegetarian or vegan dish, a kids' meal. You set the list, with a short description for each.

  2. Guests choose when they say yes

    The meal question and a dietary notes field appear in the RSVP form, so there's no second form to chase.

  3. Everyone in the party chooses

    Plus-ones and family members on the same invitation each pick their own meal in the same reply.

  4. Already sent invitations?

    Send a meal-choice email to the guests who said yes, with its own deadline.

  5. Export for the caterer

    Download the guest list with meal choices and dietary notes and send it on.

Also on every WedKit site

  1. RSVPs with meal choices

    Guests reply, pick a meal and note dietary needs in one form.

  2. Seating from the guest list

    Drag guests who said yes onto tables. Nobody gets typed in twice.

  3. Invitation-code access

    Turn it on and only people with a code from their invitation can open the site.

  4. Email and text

    Invitations and reminders by email. Updates by text to guests who opt in on their RSVP.

  5. An assistant for guest questions

    It answers from the details on your site, so you aren't the help desk.

  6. One payment

    $49 CAD once, after a 7-day trial with no credit card.

Questions couples ask

Can I set the meal options my caterer needs?
Yes. Add whatever options your caterer offers: mains, courses, kids' meals. There's no fixed menu to work around.
What about allergies and dietary restrictions?
Guests note them in the RSVP. They're stored with the guest, so they're easy to find and export.
Can each person in a family choose a different meal?
Yes. When a guest replies for a plus-one, children or family members, each person picks their own meal.
How do I get the numbers to my caterer?
Export your guest list with meal choices and dietary notes and send the file to your caterer.
What if a guest wants to change their meal?
They can go back to the RSVP page with their invitation code and update it, or you can change it from your dashboard.
When should meal choices be due?
Before your caterer's deadline for final numbers, with enough time to follow up. Our free RSVP deadline calculator suggests dates from your wedding date and your caterer's lead time.
