Can you use a wedding website to collect dietary requirements?

A wedding website is an ideal place to collect dietary requirements. Add a question to your RSVP form asking guests to list allergies, intolerances or preferences. This saves you from chasing people by email or phone, and it keeps everything in one place.

Make the question clear and easy to answer. Ask guests to write specific allergies, such as nuts or shellfish, rather than just saying "vegetarian". You can also ask about portion sizes or whether children's meals are needed.

Remember that some guests may not use the website. Older relatives or friends without internet access might prefer a paper RSVP card. You can still include the dietary question on that card and add the answers to your website dashboard yourself.

Once you have all the responses, you can export or copy the list and send it to your caterer. Check with your venue or caterer about how they want to receive the information. Some may have their own forms, but a clear list from your website is usually welcome.
