How to RSVP as a Family or Group for a Wedding (Linked Guests)

You can RSVP as a family or group for a wedding when the couple uses a platform that supports linked guests (or "linked visitors"). One person responds for the whole household or group; everyone shares the same link for the schedule and photo gallery, and all can contribute photos. WhiteClover supports this: family members are linked so they RSVP together and access the wedding site and Experience App as a unit.

If you're wondering "how do we RSVP as a family?" or "can we respond together as a group?", you're in the right place. This guide explains how linked guests work, why they help couples and guests, and what to look for in a wedding RSVP system.

What Are Linked Guests (Family or Group RSVP)?

Linked guests (sometimes called "linked visitors" or "household RSVP") are guests who are connected so that:

• One RSVP can cover the whole group (e.g. a couple plus children, or a family unit). Learn more about the full wedding RSVP feature.
• Everyone in the group uses the same wedding link for schedule, details, and photo gallery.
• All can contribute—e.g. any linked family member can upload photos and view "Photos of You" for their household.

So when you RSVP as a family or group, you're not filling out separate forms for each person in isolation. The couple links you together; one response (or one main response with plus-ones) is enough, and the whole group gets access. For more on RSVP and invitations in one place, see RSVP and online invitations for your wedding.

Why Couples Use Linked Guests

Linked guests make planning and communication simpler:

Couples can build their guest list with family groups from the start. When it's time to send invitations, they send one link per household; the family RSVPs together and everyone uses that same link for the schedule and photos. WhiteClover supports linked visitors so families can RSVP as a group and still have individual access to the Experience App (schedule, gallery, "Photos of You").

Pro tip: When building your guest list, link partners and children to the main invitee so they appear as one unit for RSVP and seating.

How to RSVP as a Family or Group on WhiteClover

On WhiteClover, the couple sets up linked visitors when they build their guest list:

1. Add the main guest (e.g. one parent or the primary invitee).
2. Link other guests to that person (partner, children, or other plus-ones).
3. Send one invitation to the main guest (or the household); the link covers everyone linked.
4. When they RSVP, the response can include the whole group (e.g. "John + Jane + 2 children").
5. Everyone linked can open the same link to see the schedule, venue, and photo gallery and to upload photos.

So how do you RSVP as a family? You open the link the couple sent, fill in the response for your household (including plus-ones or children if the invitation allows), and submit. Everyone in your linked group then uses that same link for the wedding day. For a full RSVP and timeline guide, see wedding RSVP guide: timeline, wording, tracking.

What to Look For If You Want Family or Group RSVP

If you're a couple choosing a wedding platform and want family or group RSVP:

• Linked guests / linked visitors – Ability to attach partner, children, or plus-ones to one main guest.
• One response per group – RSVP form that captures the whole household in one go.
• One link per group – Same URL for schedule and photos for everyone in the group.
• Seating and lists – Guest list and seating tools that show groups so you can plan tables.

WhiteClover supports linked visitors: families RSVP together and share one link for the Experience App (schedule + gallery). For more on organising guests and tables, see 8-step wedding guest checklist guide.

Conclusion

How do you RSVP as a family or group for a wedding? Use a platform that supports linked guests (linked visitors).

Managing RSVPs is easier when households respond as a unit. This guide showed that linked guests let families and groups RSVP once and share one link for the big day.
