ARIWEB Event Invitations & RSVP

ARIWEB Event Invitations & RSVP helps WordPress site owners, designers, agencies and event planners create private invitation experiences with online attendance confirmations.

The idea is simple: design the invitation your way, upload the PDF to WordPress and let the plugin handle the confirmation process. The plugin can serve the PDF invitation with a clickable RSVP link, so guests can open the confirmation page directly from the invitation.

This makes it useful for weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, family events, private celebrations, religious events, corporate events and any occasion where the organizer wants a beautiful invitation plus an organized RSVP workflow.

The plugin does not limit the invitation design. You can create the visual PDF in Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma or any design tool, upload it to the system and manage the sharing and confirmations from WordPress.

Why organizers like it

• Guests receive a clean invitation experience instead of a complicated form link.
• The organizer keeps full control inside WordPress.
• PDF invitations can include a clickable RSVP link.
• The event can have individual or general invitations.
• Each invitation can have its own guest limit.
• Responses are stored and reviewed from the WordPress admin area.
• The plugin supports Spanish and English for both the public form and the admin screens.
• A multilingual plugin is not required, but the plugin can work with common multilingual setups.

PDF invitation workflow

Upload your designed PDF invitation and use it as the event invitation file. The plugin can share the PDF link and include a clickable link that takes guests to the RSVP page.

You can also assign a different PDF to a specific invitation when one guest, family or group needs a personalized file.

The design is created by the organizer or designer. The plugin focuses on sharing, RSVP access, guest limits and response management.

A multilingual plugin is not required. If the site already uses WPML, Polylang or TranslatePress, the plugin can follow the active language when the setting is set to automatic.

External Services

This plugin can optionally use Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection. reCAPTCHA is disabled unless the site administrator adds a reCAPTCHA site key and secret key in the plugin settings.

When reCAPTCHA v3 is enabled, the public RSVP form loads the Google reCAPTCHA JavaScript API from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js. This is required to generate an anti-spam token in the visitor’s browser.

When a visitor submits the RSVP form, the plugin sends a verification request to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify. The request includes the reCAPTCHA secret key configured by the administrator, the token generated by Google reCAPTCHA, and the visitor IP address. The plugin does not send the RSVP name, phone number, guest count, invitation notes or attendee details to Google reCAPTCHA.

Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google LLC.

Privacy

This plugin can store personal information related to RSVP management, such as guest name, phone number, attendance status, number of attendees, attendee details, invitation code, IP address and browser user agent.

This data is stored on the site owner’s WordPress database and is used to manage the event and its attendance confirmations.

The plugin does not send RSVP names, phone numbers, guest counts or attendee details to Ariweb or to any Ariweb server.

If Google reCAPTCHA v3 is enabled by the site administrator, the plugin connects to Google as described in the External Services section.

The plugin integrates with the WordPress privacy tools by adding suggested privacy policy content and supporting personal data export and erasure where applicable.
