Guest Dashboard:

Your Guest Dashboard offers a variety of features to help manage your wedding. In addition to the ability to edit and customize your wedding website, as well as the ability to manage your personal room reservation, you also have access to the Guest List.

From the Guest List, you will be able to create your own RSVP list, view RSVP responses/room bookings, send out electronic save the dates, message guests directly, as well as create a questionnaire for your guests.
