Wedding Party RSVP – Guest List, Invitation & Event Manager

Stop chasing replies across group chats and reconciling half-finished spreadsheets the week before you walk down the aisle. Wedding Party RSVP gives planners and couples a single source of truth inside WordPress—every RSVP, headcount, and meal note lives in one guest list your whole team can trust from save-the-date to seating.

• Less stress for your planning team – Shared visibility in wp-admin replaces version chaos; everyone works off the same guest list instead of emailing fragile copies back and forth.
• Fewer "we thought they were coming" surprises – Clear statuses and structured follow-up help you confirm attendance earlier, so catering and rentals are not guessing at the last minute.
• Confidence at the venue – One accurate count for who is attending, what they are eating, and how many plus ones are included—aligned with how your invites are organized.

Guests sign in with a simple Party ID, so households RSVP together while you manage plus ones like a built-in plus one manager tied to each invite code (not stray "+1" notes buried in email threads). The plugin works as a meal choice collector for adult entrées with dietary notes, supports event capacity limits when you need to cap attendance, and includes wedding guest list export when finance, catering, or your venue needs the latest numbers in one place. Built with modern WordPress patterns so multiple planners can collaborate in the dashboard at once—roles and permissions stay native while you update invitations, meals, and RSVP status together on desktop or mobile.

Upload the wedding-party-rsvp folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. Create a new Page (e.g., "RSVP"). Add the shortcode [wedding_rsvp_form] to the page content. Go to Wedding RSVP -> Settings and set the "RSVP Page URL" to the link of the page you just created.

7.3.10 Fix: When Wedding Party RSVP Pro is active with a valid license, the free plugin no longer runs its classic RSVP POST handler on init with the wrong nonce, so guests submitting the public RSVP form no longer see “Security check failed.” (Pro owns the shortcode and nonce in that configuration.) Compatibility: Confirmed “Tested up to” WordPress 6.9.x for this release. 7.3.9 Maintenance: Coordinated release with Wedding Party RSVP Pro; version and metadata alignment for the directory. 7.3.8 NEW: Suggested privacy policy text in Settings → Privacy (via WordPress privacy policy guide) describing stored guest data, export, and erase behavior. NEW: Personal data eraser (Erase Personal Data) for guest rows matched by email; dashboard stats cache refreshes after a successful erase. IMPROVED: Readme FAQ for data storage and export/erase; directory tag event added. 7.3.7 NEW: Optional block pattern to insert the RSVP shortcode from the block inserter. NEW: Plugins screen link to Pro; dismissible post-activation setup checklist; optional dashboard widget for RSVP counts (filterable). NEW: Optional milestone notice after the first guest RSVP (dismissible). NEW: CSV export can match the current guest list search and filters; “Copy RSVP link” for Party ID on the guest list; optional custom message when the RSVP deadline has passed; optional grouped-by-party view; optional privacy exporter for guest data; optional one-time sample guest seed for empty sites. IMPROVED: Works alongside Wedding Party RSVP Pro with both plugins active (merged admin menu when licensed; Pro owns the public shortcode when the license is active). 7.3.6 NEW: Optional frontend RSVP flow using the WordPress Interactivity API (6.5+): data-wp-interactive, data-wp-context, data-wp-on--submit, and live feedback via data-wp-text (no full page reload when the interactivity module loads). Classic POST submission remains for older WordPress or when script modules are unavailable. 7.3.5 Maintenance: Release version bump for coordinated directory update (aligns with Pro licensing documentation release). 7.3.4 Hardening: Addressed WordPress.org checker warnings around nested guest POST handling and custom-table database operations. Maintenance: Updated tested-up-to metadata formatting for directory compliance. 7.3.3 Maintenance: Release version bump and metadata normalization for directory checks. Compatibility: Updated 'Tested up to' formatting to WordPress.org-compliant major.minor (6.9). Hardening: Improved frontend guest POST handling and clarified custom-table DB operations for Plugin Check compliance. 7.3.2 Compatibility: Tested up to WordPress 6.9. 7.3.1 New: Review request notice after 7 days (Enjoying Wedding Party RSVP?) with Yes / No (Support) / Dismiss. AJAX dismissal, nonce-secured, shown only on plugin admin pages. 7.3 Security Update: Implemented late escaping for inline styles and rigorous variable escaping for output. Cleanup: Removed unused external service references to comply with directory guidelines. 7.2 Security: Updated prefixes, nonce sanitization, and SQL preparation. Architecture: Moved form processing to init hook for safer redirects. 7.1 Security Update: Fixed escaping and sanitization issues. Mobile Responsiveness: Updated Admin Dashboard with "Card View". Performance: Implemented Object Caching. 7.0 Major update with new UI. 1.0 Initial Release.
