Common questions
Do guests need an account or an app?
No. They open their invitation link in a browser and reply there.
Read the guideIs GuestTally free?
Guest planning is currently free. Vendor listings currently have a separate, free submission process.
Read the guideCan the ceremony and reception have different guest lists?
Yes. Choose the households and seats for each gathering. Guests only see the gatherings they are invited to.
Read the guideDo we need a reception and a family dinner?
No. Add only what you have planned. A family lunch or dinner can be your celebration after the ceremony.
Read the guideIs it suitable for different religions and ceremony venues?
Yes. There is no required ceremony type or venue. Use the gathering names and venue details that suit your wedding.
Read the guideDoes importing a list send invitations?
No. Review and import your list first. Send invitations separately when you are ready.
Read the guideDoes GuestTally send WhatsApp messages for me?
It prepares the message and opens WhatsApp. You check the recipient and press Send yourself.
Read the guideCan a guest change their reply?
They can reopen a valid invitation link before the reply deadline and update their answer.
Read the guideWhat happens when I delete a row?
You delete the whole household and its invitations, replies, attendee names and check-in records. If you only want to remove a gathering, set its invited seats to zero instead.
Read the guideCan check-in work without a signal?
Open the list online first and check its offline-ready message. Changes made offline still need to sync. Rehearse on the actual phone before the day.
Read the guideAre vendors guaranteed by GuestTally?
A listing is reviewed before publication, but that is not a guarantee of its work. Ask the business for references, package details and terms.
Read the guideHow do I update my vendor listing?
Open For vendors and sign in with your email. You can edit your profile, photos and packages, then submit changes for review. If your business was listed before you had an account, choose My business is already listed and request access. We check ownership before approving access.
