Joy

It is a strong choice if you want one free place for your schedule, travel details, gifts and replies. Read our AisleReply vs Joy comparison.
Bridebook
Bridebook is a UK planning platform with free tools. Its guest list lets you build a custom RSVP form, set a deadline, email it to guests and track dietary requirements and plus-ones across several events. Guests reply on your Bridebook wedding website by entering their name as it appears on your list. If you plan everything on Bridebook already, this keeps it all together.
Hitched
Hitched is one of the best-known UK planning sites and supplier directories, part of The Knot Worldwide, and its app includes a guest list manager. We could not load hitched.co.uk during our check, so we have not described its RSVP features or prices. If you use Hitched for planning, look at its own tools first. See AisleReply vs Hitched and Bridebook.
WeddedWay
WeddedWay is a UK wedding planner and website with a single free plan covering planning, guests, invitations, replies and a wedding website, with no adverts and no supplier marketplace. Guests reply on the wedding website using an invitation code. When we checked, new weddings were not yet open and the site invited couples to register interest.
Invyt
Invyt describes itself as a free RSVP tracker for any event. You share an invitation by email, text, WhatsApp, QR code or a custom link, and guests RSVP from there. It can collect meal choices and allergy information, export a summary for your caterer and send reminders. It is free to start with no card needed.
Cordially Wed
Cordially Wed is a wedding texting service. Messages go out from a Cordially number and guests can reply by SMS or WhatsApp into a shared inbox, with no app to install. You can add an RSVP link from your wedding website. It charges a one-time fee based on the number of guest phone numbers, listed in dollars, from $69 for up to 50 numbers to $249 for 201 to 400.
Google Forms
Google Forms is free with a Google account. You publish a form, share the responder link or embed it on a page, and replies can be saved to a linked Google Sheet. It is flexible and costs nothing, but you build the questions, send the link and chase the replies yourself.
Paper reply cards
A printed reply card still feels special, and some guests, often older relatives, prefer it. The trade-offs are printing and postage, slower replies, and typing every answer into a spreadsheet yourself. Many couples now mix paper invitations with a digital way to reply. Our guide to digital vs paper wedding invitations covers the choice.
AisleReply
AisleReply is a UK service where each guest gets a personal WhatsApp message and replies inside the chat, with no link, form, app or account. Meal choices, dietary needs, allergies and plus-ones are collected in the same conversation, guests can reply in 50+ languages, and you see a live headcount. Standard and Premium include scheduled reminders and a caterer export, and every plan includes done-for-you setup. It costs a one-off £149, £349 or £599 per wedding, and it is in private beta. It does not include a wedding website, registry or supplier directory. Read how replying inside WhatsApp works.
