Planning a wedding comes with a long to-do list, but collecting RSVPs doesn't have to be the stressful part. MapleVow walks you through everything in the same order couples naturally work: set up the wedding, add your guests, shape the RSVP experience, then send the links. Here is exactly how to get started.
Step 1: Create Your Wedding
After you sign up for free, the first thing you'll do is create your wedding. Add your names as a couple, your wedding date and time, your venue, and the timezone. These details power every guest-facing page, every reminder, and your countdown, so it's worth getting them right from the start. You can always come back and edit them later.
Step 2: Add Your Guest List
Next, build your guest list. You can add guests one by one, or import a whole spreadsheet with a CSV file in seconds. For each guest you can record an email address, a phone number, plus-one limits, meal preferences, and high-chair needs for little ones. Keeping everything in one place means no more hunting through text messages and email threads to figure out who is coming.
Step 3: Configure Your RSVP and Wedding Page
This is where your wedding starts to feel real. Customize your RSVP questions, choose your meal options, and add a personal message field so guests can leave a note. Then shape your wedding homepage: your story, venue details, schedule, registry links, a map, and a countdown. If you have guests who prefer French, you can publish your page in both English and French.
Step 4: Send Your RSVP Links
When everything looks right, send each guest their personal RSVP link by email or text message. Guests don't need to download an app or create an account; they simply tap the link and respond. From your dashboard you can see who has opened, responded, or still needs a nudge, and send a friendly reminder with one click.
Tips to Get the Most Out of MapleVow
Start early. Even a draft wedding page gives you a head start, and you can refine the details as plans come together.
Use the seating chart. Once RSVPs arrive, drag and drop confirmed guests onto tables and export a clean PDF for your venue.
Keep an eye on your budget. The built-in budget tracker keeps estimated, actual, and paid amounts separate so you always know where you stand.
Let guests share photos. Turn on the guest photo gallery and let everyone upload candids by QR code during the reception.
Your Data Stays Yours
MapleVow is hosted on Canadian servers and follows PIPEDA, so your guests' information is never sold or shared. You can export everything or delete everything at any time. Ready to begin? Create your free wedding page and send your first RSVP link today.
