Will you attend?
A BBQ or casual party should feel easy, but the planning can still get messy. Once you start working out food, drinks, kids, plus-ones, dietary needs, weather plans, and how many people are actually coming, a quick message in a group chat is not always enough.
An online RSVP page keeps the details simple. Guests can reply from one link, see what time to arrive, check whether to bring anything, add dietary notes, and understand the vibe of the party before the day.
How it works
1. Pick a design and add your details
Choose a template, then add the date, venue and anything guests need to know. It takes a few minutes.
2. Share one link
Send it by email, text or WhatsApp, or let Invitify email your guest list for you.
3. Watch the replies come in
RSVPs, dietary needs and plus-ones land in one guest list, with reminders sent for you.

The BBQ is coming out of hibernation! Join us in the garden on Saturday 24 July from 1pm for burgers, sunshine (hopefully) and cold drinks.
We'll do the meat and veggie burgers - if you can, bring a salad, side or pudding to share. Drinks are BYO.
If the British summer lets us down, we'll move the party into the conservatory - it's going ahead whatever the weather.
Kids are very welcome - there's a paddling pool and plenty of garden space. Let us know how many little ones are coming when you reply.
Planning tips
Send invites 2–3 weeks ahead
For a local BBQ or casual party, 2–3 weeks is usually enough. If it falls on a long weekend, public holiday, or busy summer period, send it a little earlier.
Set an RSVP deadline
Ask guests to RSVP around 5–7 days before the party. That gives you time to buy food, plan drinks, organise seating, and avoid over-catering.
Be clear about food
Tell guests whether food is provided, whether it is a bring-a-plate situation, or whether you are keeping it simple with snacks and drinks. Casual does not have to mean unclear.
Mention drinks or BYO
If guests should bring drinks, say so on the invite. If you are providing some drinks but not everything, make that clear too.
Collect dietary requirements
Even for a BBQ, it helps to know about vegetarians, allergies, gluten-free guests, or anyone who does not eat certain meats. A simple dietary field saves last-minute stress.
Clarify plus-ones and kids
Casual parties can grow quickly. Let guests know whether partners, children, or extra friends are welcome, especially if space or food is limited.
Add weather or outdoor notes
If the party is outside, mention whether there is shade, indoor backup, heaters, a pool, or anything guests should bring like sunscreen, jackets, or picnic blankets.
Include parking and arrival details
Add the full address, parking notes, gate or apartment access instructions, and any guidance on where guests should enter.

Common questions
How far in advance should I send BBQ or casual party invitations?
2–3 weeks before the event is usually enough for a local BBQ or casual party. If the date falls during a busy holiday period, long weekend, or summer season, send the invite earlier so guests can plan ahead.
When should the RSVP deadline be for a BBQ?
Set the RSVP deadline around 5–7 days before the BBQ. That gives you enough time to buy food, plan drinks, organise seating, and adjust numbers before the day.
What should a BBQ RSVP page include?
A BBQ RSVP page should include the date, start time, full address, RSVP deadline, food and drink details, whether guests should bring anything, dietary requirements, plus-one or kids policy, and any weather or outdoor notes.
Should I ask guests to bring food or drinks?
You can, but make it clear. If it is BYO drinks, bring-a-plate, or a shared BBQ, include that on the invite so guests know what is expected before they arrive.
Should I collect dietary requirements for a casual party?
Yes, especially if you are providing food. Even a simple dietary question helps you plan for allergies, vegetarian guests, gluten-free guests, or anyone with specific food preferences.
Can guests RSVP without creating an account?
Yes. Guests can open the invite link and submit their BBQ or casual party RSVP without creating an account.
