Frequently Asked Questions

Répondez S'il Vous Plait :-)
RSVP stands for "Répondez S'il Vous Plait" - the French phrase for "Please respond" or "Please reply".
It is a standard abbreviation used at the end of an invitation to mean that you should let the people who invited you know whether or not you are coming.

Never.
Online-RSVP.com relies solely on the "activation fee" ($25) to cover our costs: hosting, customer service, developers... We don't display any ad on your page and won't ever do it.
We pride ourselves on providing the most elegant RSVP service for your wedding or other event - thus without any Viagra, Crocs or other disgraceful advertising ☺

The websites proposing "free service" rely on advertising or sell host / guests data.
They place ads on your event page or use your guests data for commercial / marketing purposes.
Besides, many of them propose a 'cheap service': limited features, limited number of guests, no professional images… You have to upgrade to a 'premium account' to use their service properly.

Online-RSVP.com is ad-free, every user is premium, everything is included: all the features, all the themes, all the guests, for 18 months.
We have to pay our developers to add new features, our designers to create new templates, our customer service agents - but also pay for hosting, photography rights, etc.

According the The Knot's annual survey, the average cost of a wedding in US was $34,000 in 2021. That is why we try to keep our fee ($25) as low as possible.

Everything.
All features, hundreds of design templates, professional images (backgrounds, illustrations, logos...), custom fonts, etc.
Unlimited guests, 5 sub-events (e.g. wedding ceremony, reharsal dinner, Sunday brunch...), 5 food preferences (e.g. starter, main...), 10 custom questions (multiple choice or open).
We won't ever ask you to pay any extra for premium features, additional guests, add-on services, etc.

After activation, your event will be available during 18-months.
