Eventi sends your invitation as a normal WhatsApp message, from a real business number, straight into a chat your guests already have open - not an email, and not another app they have to install first.

## What guests actually see

The invitation you designed - a picture you uploaded, or a link to your own site - arrives as the message itself. Underneath it, three buttons: Yes, I’ll be there, Sorry, can’t make it, and Not sure yet. Tapping one replies instantly, no page to load, no form to fill in.

## What happens on your side

-   Delivery, read receipts, and RSVPs update live in your dashboard.
-   A tap on a button updates that guest’s status immediately - not after a delay.
-   If a guest replies “Yes” and you invited more than one person, we ask a quick follow-up for the final headcount.

Nothing about it requires a guest to trust a new app with their phone number, an account, or their attention for more than a few seconds. If someone doesn’t reply right away, that’s what [reminder rounds](/blog/reminders-that-stop-when-guests-answer) are for.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do guests need WhatsApp already installed?

### What if a guest doesn't use WhatsApp?

### Can I see whether a message actually went through?
