There's hardly anything nicer during the planning than taking a quick look in the evening to see who said yes today. That's exactly what the Rückmeldungen (Responses) page is for. It shows all replies as cards in a timeline, newest at the top.

Above the timeline sits the “Antworten nach dem Absenden sperren” card (lock replies after sending). With its switch, you decide whether a yes or no stays exactly as your guests sent it. It's the same switch as in the editor in the Anmeldung (RSVP) section, and it applies right away, without publishing again. When the lock is on, a link in the card takes you to your guest list. There you can still let individual guests make a change, using the menu next to each guest. You'll find everything else in the article “Lock replies after they're sent”.

The number of people counts the guest, their confirmed plus-one and any children they registered. It isn't shown for declines. Plus-ones and children appear indented below the main guest, marked “Begleitung” (plus-one), “+1” or “Kind” (child). If your guest didn't give names, you'll see “Kind 1” and “Kind 2” there.

Clicking a card takes you straight to the guest's profile, where you'll find all the details such as dietary preferences and allergies.

As long as the lock is off, your guests can correct their reply, through their invitation link just as well as through the open RSVP on your page. So that a correction doesn't slip past you, a separate card then appears in the timeline, headed “Antwort geändert” (reply changed). It carries the time of the change and therefore sits right next to this guest's freshly updated reply, which moves to the top as well.

The same happens when you change a reply yourself, for example after a phone call. The card then carries the note “von dir eingetragen” (entered by you), so you can tell later what came in online and what you noted down.

If the two of you plan together (Einstellungen → Gemeinsam planen, Settings → plan together), it shows who entered the reply: „von dir eingetragen“ (entered by you) or, for example, „von Anna eingetragen“ (entered by Anna). Older entries and those by someone who is no longer planning with you are labelled „im Dashboard eingetragen“ (entered in the dashboard).

When the lock is on, a guest can no longer change a yes or no they sent themselves. You'll still see “Antwort geändert” cards, for example for your own entries, for guests you've allowed to make a change, or when someone says yes or no after a “Vielleicht”.

On the card you'll see:

Clicking “Was sich geändert hat” (what has changed) expands the details. There you can read line by line what was there before and what applies now: answer, plus-one, children, food, allergies, song request, message, accommodation, shuttle, email and phone. The old value stays crossed out, so you can always look up what was originally there.

Good to know: Sometimes a card shows a golden note with an email address or phone number and a sentence saying that we didn't take it over automatically. That happens when the details from the form don't clearly match the existing entry. Take a quick look and add them to the guest if they're correct.

You'll only see guests here who have replied. Anyone who hasn't replied yet doesn't appear here, you'll find them with the “Ausstehend” (pending) filter in your guest list. Search, filters and other sorting options are intentionally left out of this page, it's meant to be a calm timeline.

Good to know: On your phone, you'll find “Rückmeldungen” in the menu behind the menu icon at the top left, in the upper block next to guests and invitations. The search in the header works just as well.

Then the note “Noch keine Rückmeldungen” (no replies yet) welcomes you with the “Zu den Einladungen” (go to invitations) button. 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 sooner than you think.

There's no number next to “Rückmeldungen” in the menu.
That's intentional. The counter sits next to “Gäste” (Guests) and shows how many guests still haven't replied.

Why is a reply at the very bottom even though it's new?
Very old or special entries without a timestamp are sorted to the end. In the guest's profile, the history shows when the reply really came in.

Will I know when someone replies?
Yes. Every reply appears as a notification under the bell in your dashboard, and you can also choose to be informed by email.
