WhatsApp event registration guide
How registration and check-in can work together.
No apps for your guests · Text, voice or video · Any language
guests who never reply still get counted, catered for and seated — the ghost guest you pay for twice.
lost chasing confirmations across calls, spreadsheets and a dozen family group chats.
over-ordered food, over-booked venues, over-spent budgets — from a headcount no one could trust.
Count Me In runs the whole guest conversation for you — start to finish, in your guest's own language, on WhatsApp.
One warm message with your event's details, sent to every guest.
The AI asks who's coming, how many and any dietary needs — by text or voice.
A living RSVP list you can open any time, always up to date.
A gentle nudge before the day, so no one quietly forgets.
A warm note afterwards that closes the loop with every guest.
AI replies fluently in dozens of languages, so every guest feels personally addressed.
Guests reply however they like — a typed yes, a voice note, a forwarded photo. All understood.
Watch confirmations arrive in real time — a number you can finally build a budget on.
Plus-ones, children, vegetarian, allergies — collected cleanly, ready for your caterer.
Nothing for guests to install or learn. It's just a message from you, on WhatsApp.
Hand your venue and cook a final list that ends the guesswork — and the waste.
Your guests only ever see a WhatsApp message. Behind it, you get a calm control room and a setup that takes minutes.
Upload your guest list, then approve the whole message journey — save-the-date, RSVP, two gentle reminders, an accepted-guest nudge and a thank-you — each drafted for you and sent in every guest's own language.
A live control room for every event. Confirmations arrive on their own while the honest "plates to cater" number keeps ghost guests out of your budget.
Every campaign can run on our verified number — or, for a more personal touch, on yours.
Invitations send from Count Me In's verified WhatsApp Business number — the same trusted, shared number for every host. Instant, reliable, nothing to set up.
Prefer guests to hear from you directly? We whitelist and register your personal or business number for your event dates only, then retire it afterwards — a one-time setup billed as an add-on.
A documented September 2026 Count Me In implementation moved from 139 original invitation contacts to 169 after the host gained clearer visibility into declines. The final pre-event dashboard recorded 148 confirmed guests.
Invitation contacts after the host added a previously left-over list.
109 accepted contacts represented 148 people in the final pre-event snapshot.

Two completed October 2026 events show how Count Me In turns WhatsApp responses into practical planning data: confirmed guest headcounts, explicit declines and a visible list of unresolved contacts.
286 accepted contact records at a Dubai wedding reception represented 524 actual confirmed guests.
Known declines help hosts review invitation capacity instead of assuming every invitation will attend.
A separate Dubai family celebration finished with 17 declines and 12 unanswered contacts clearly separated from confirmed attendance.
The things hosts ask us most about sending invitations and collecting RSVPs on WhatsApp.
Upload your guest list as an Excel or CSV file with each guest's name and WhatsApp number, attach your digital invitation card or video, and Count Me In sends it to every guest on WhatsApp. You can schedule a save-the-date, an RSVP request, two reminders for non-responders, a reminder for confirmed guests, and a thank-you message after the event.
Your guest receives a WhatsApp message and simply replies — by text or voice note. Our AI concierge asks how many people are coming and any dietary preferences, confirms them, and adds them to your live guest list. There is no form to fill in and no link to open.
No. Guests only use WhatsApp. There is nothing to install, no new account to create and no separate RSVP website or form to visit.
Yes. Count Me In replies to every guest in their own language across 12 Indian languages — including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese and Urdu. Your guest can reply by text or voice note in whichever language is most comfortable, and we translate it into a clean entry on your guest list.
Your host dashboard shows a live headcount of confirmed, awaiting and declined guests, plus the dietary mix and the exact number of plates to cater. Every RSVP is traceable to the WhatsApp conversation that produced it, and you can export a final guest list for your caterer or venue.
Yes. Count Me In sends two gentle automatic reminders to guests who have not replied, and a separate reminder to guests who have already confirmed shortly before the event. You choose the timing for each, or switch any of them off.
Yes. By default, invitations are sent from Count Me In's verified WhatsApp Business number, which is included with every event. If you would prefer guests to hear from you directly, we can whitelist and register your own personal or business number for your event dates as a premium add-on.
An RSVP process gives hosts a confirmed headcount and dietary mix before final catering decisions. That helps the family and caterer plan against known responses instead of relying only on the original invitation count.
Pricing depends on the number of guests, destination countries/country codes, messaging volume and event requirements because WhatsApp Business Platform messaging charges vary by market. See how pricing works, then contact us on WhatsApp to get an estimated cost for your event.
Neither in the usual sense — and that is the point. Your guests never download an RSVP app or open an RSVP website or online form; they simply reply to a WhatsApp message. Count Me In is an RSVP tool that works entirely inside WhatsApp, so for you as the host it replaces the RSVP app, the guest-list spreadsheet and the RSVP website with one conversation and a live dashboard.
Yes. Send your digital wedding card, e-card or invitation video — a designed image, a PDF or an MP4 — as a WhatsApp wedding invitation with the RSVP built in. Guests view your online invitation and reply in the same chat, so your electronic invitation and your guest list stay connected instead of scattered across group chats.
We're on WhatsApp, naturally. Message or call, and a real person will help you set up your event and your guest list.
Count Me In supports customised questionnaires to collect event-specific details, multiple QR-code configurations for guest access, and QR scanning to validate entry and record attendance. QR-based admission depends on the organiser’s configured rules and check-in process.

For a 24 October 2026 Dubai corporate event, the organiser expanded the invitation list from 151 to 194 contacts. The frozen 21 October RSVP position recorded 103 confirmed guests. This illustrates how early declines can create opportunities to invite additional contacts without guessing attendance.
