Replies: all of your guests' answers in one timeline

How to read through who said yes, with how many people and what your guests wrote to you, all on one page and in order.

Written by Max Weber

There is hardly anything lovelier in all your planning than checking in the evening to see who said yes today. That is exactly what the page Planung → Rückmeldungen (Planning → Replies) is for. It shows every reply as a card in a timeline, with the newest one right at the top.

What a card tells you

  • the guest's name and initials

  • a coloured label saying „Zusage" (attending), „Absage" (not attending) or „Vielleicht" (maybe)

  • the number of people, so „1 Person" or „N Personen"

  • how long ago the reply came in

  • your guest's personal message as a quote, if they wrote one

The number of people adds up the guest themselves, their confirmed companion and the children who were signed up. It is not shown for guests who cannot come. Companions and children sit indented below the main guest, marked with „Begleitung" (companion), „+1" or „Kind" (child). If your guest did not give any names, you will read „Kind 1" and „Kind 2" there.

A click on a card takes you straight into that guest's profile, where you find all the details such as dietary needs and allergies.

What this page cannot do

Here you only see guests who have replied. Anyone still open does not show up, and you find those through the „Ausstehend" (pending) filter in your guest list. There is deliberately no search, no filter and no other sorting on this page, it is meant to be a calm timeline.

Good to know: „Rückmeldungen" is not in the bottom bar on your phone. You get to the page there through the search in the top bar.

No replies yet?

Then the note „Noch keine Rückmeldungen" (no replies yet) welcomes you along with the button „Zu den Einladungen" (go to invitations). Replies can only come in once your page is published and your guests have their link. Once both are done, the first yes usually arrives faster than you expect.

Frequently asked questions

There is no number on the „Rückmeldungen" entry.
That is on purpose. The counter belongs to the entry „Gäste" (guests) and shows how many guests you are still waiting to hear from.

Why is a reply right at the bottom even though it is new?
Very old or unusual entries without a timestamp are sorted to the end. In that guest's profile you can see in the history when the reply really came in.

Will I notice when someone replies?
Yes. Every reply shows up as a notification under the bell icon in your dashboard, and you can also have us let you know by email.
