Short answer
You can make an online RSVP for a wedding reception only by creating a separate event within your wedding website, or by using a form that asks guests to select "reception only" from a list of options.
If some guests are invited to the ceremony and others only to the reception, you need a clear way to manage responses. The easiest method is to create two events in your wedding website: one for the ceremony and one for the reception. Then assign each guest to the correct event. When they RSVP, they only see the events they are invited to. Alternatively, you can use a single RSVP form with a question like "Which parts of the day will you attend?" and list options such as "Ceremony and reception" or "Reception only". This works well if you are sending the same invitation to everyone. Make sure your wording is kind and clear, so guests know exactly what they are invited to. For example, you might say "We would love you to join us for the evening reception" on the invitation. Also consider asking about meal choices if the reception includes a sit-down dinner, or just dietary needs if it is a buffet or drinks reception. Keep the form simple and mobile-friendly, as many guests will respond on their phones.
