South Asian wedding RSVPs that finally make sense.
AisleReply is the wedding RSVP service built for British South Asian weddings - 300+ guests across mehndi, sangeet, ceremony and reception, replies arriving in Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali, Gujarati and Tamil, dietary needs from pure vegetarian to Jain to halal captured per event. Done-for-you from £149.
Start your guest listThe problem South Asian couples actually have
Confirming 300+ guests across four events, in five languages, with dietary needs ranging from "pure veg, no onion no garlic" to "halal, but eggs are fine" to "vegan since last year" - is not really an RSVP. It's a logistics project. A project that traditionally lands on one parent (often the bride's mum), who then spends every evening for three months on the phone to aunties, uncles and cousins.
Generic wedding RSVP tools don't help, because:
- Online forms assume guests can read English and use a smartphone form. Many can't, or won't.
- Single-event RSVPs miss the point - guests attend different events, sometimes with different plus-ones.
- Dietary fields are designed for Western weddings (vegetarian / vegan / gluten-free) and miss Jain, eggless, halal nuance.
- Paper cards posted to India come back six weeks later, if at all.
How AisleReply handles a South Asian wedding
Each guest gets a personal WhatsApp from your wedding's assistant - by name, in their language. They reply in plain words. The assistant captures attendance per event, plus ones, dietary needs and any questions. Every reply lands on your live dashboard.
Every event, tracked separately
Mehndi
Friday evening - usually women, often a smaller subset
Sangeet
Saturday evening - bigger, often all family + close friends
Ceremony
Sunday morning - the religious or civil ceremony itself
Reception
Sunday evening - the largest event, including extended network
Each guest is asked about each event they're invited to. Auntie Saira coming to the mehndi and reception but not the sangeet? That's captured exactly. Her husband joining only the reception? Captured. With his own dietary needs.
Languages your guests actually speak
AisleReply replies to guests in over 50 languages, including every major South Asian language:
The assistant detects each guest's language from their first reply and stays in it for the whole conversation. Your dashboard shows the original message alongside an English translation - you don't need to learn a new alphabet to read your own RSVPs.
What this actually looks like
On your dashboard: Auntie Kiran + Uncle, both attending all 4 events, vegetarian, both diabetic-friendly. Conversation translated to English alongside. No form filled in, no app installed. Just a WhatsApp.
Dietary needs South Asian weddings actually have
AisleReply's assistant recognises the dietary distinctions that matter at South Asian weddings and exports them cleanly to your caterer:
- Pure vegetarian (no eggs, no fish)
- Eggetarian (vegetarian but eggs OK)
- Jain (no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables)
- Halal (and the distinction from kosher / vegetarian)
- Vegan
- Diabetic / sugar-free / low-salt requests
- Allergies (lock-flagged - the assistant treats these as serving-food-critical)
- Fasting days (where guests want different food on specific days for religious reasons)
For the parents who'd otherwise be doing this on the phone
The honest pitch: most South Asian couples we speak to describe their mum, dad, or auntie spending hours every night chasing the same handful of relatives who haven't replied. AisleReply takes that on. Polite, well-timed reminders go out to the people who've drifted - in their own language - and your parents get their evenings back.
Pricing
| Plan | Best for | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Small civil ceremony only | Up to 100 guests, 1 event, all 50+ languages, live dashboard, plus ones & dietary, done-for-you setup | £149 |
| Standard | Mid-sized 2-event wedding (e.g. nikah + reception) | Up to 300 guests, up to 2 events, reminders, question handoff, group access for 2, caterer export | £349 |
| Premium | Full multi-day South Asian wedding | Unlimited guests & events, priority setup, custom welcome message, hotel & travel answers, group access for 4, daily WhatsApp summary to the couple | £599 |
Most South Asian couples land on Premium (£599) because mehndi + sangeet + ceremony + reception is four events, often 300+ guests, and the parents-and-siblings access pack of four matters.
