One RSVP Code per Guest
A single RSVP link for every guest gives you a count but no names. A code per guest gives you a guest list: each code opens that guest's RSVP page with their name already attached, so replies arrive matched to the invitation and the host never has to guess who 'Yes, 2 people' came from.
Personal links, not personal data
The guest's name travels in the link as a parameter so the RSVP page can greet them. Keep it to the name — never add an email address, phone number, or anything more sensitive to a printed invitation link. If the RSVP page needs more, it should ask for it after the guest arrives, over the same secure page.
Before you send the batch
- Scan a sample code and confirm it opens the right guest's RSVP page.
- Check every guest appears once — a duplicate invitation creates a duplicate RSVP.
- Send each guest only their own code, not the whole batch.
- Keep the source list with the event file so RSVPs can be reconciled against invitations.
