Dawat — Invitations, RSVPs & Guest Lists for Every Celebration Planning a wedding, engagement, birthday, or housewarming? Dawat is the simple, elegant way to invite your guests, track every RSVP, and know exactly how many people are coming — without spreadsheets, without messy WhatsApp groups, without the last-minute scramble. Built for the way Indian families actually celebrate, Dawat brings your invitations, your guest list, and your replies into one calm place. WHY DAWAT A big celebration shouldn't feel like running a call center. Invitations get buried under memes. Replies are scattered across forty different chats. The caterer needs a number, and you're still guessing a week before the event. Dawat fixes all of that. Create your event in under a minute. Add your guests from your phone contacts. Send personalised WhatsApp invitations with one tap. Watch your RSVPs come in live. That's it. KEY FEATURES • Six event types — Wedding, Engagement, Birthday, Housewarming, Corporate, and Other. Each comes with its own colour and icon to keep your events visually distinct. • Quick event creation — Add date, time, venue, family name (your invitation signature), and a short description. Done in 60 seconds. • Import guests from contacts — Pick guests directly from your phone. Edit names, set head-counts (e.g. "Sharma Family — 4 people"), and add them all at once. • One-tap WhatsApp invitations — Open WhatsApp with a beautifully formatted message already addressed by name, with date, time, venue, your family signature, and a personal RSVP link. No typing, no copy-paste. • Personal RSVP links — Every guest gets their own link. They tap it, see your event, and pick "Yes" or "No." It works on any phone — no app to install for guests, perfect for elders. • Live RSVP tracking — Total invited, confirmed, pending, declined, and response rate update in real time as guests reply. • Head-count aware — Track invited count vs confirmed count per family ("6 of 8 attending"). The numbers your caterer actually needs. • Smart filtering and search — Filter by status (Pending, Yes, No), search by name, and find anyone in a long list instantly. • Inline call & WhatsApp — Tap any guest to call them or open WhatsApp directly from their row. • Edit anything, anytime — Update event details, change a guest's head-count, fix a wrong number — every change syncs immediately. • Sign in your way — Email, Google, or Apple. Optional email OTP for extra security. • Light & dark mode — Tuned for both, with the same warm gold palette. PREMIUM, FOR BIGGER EVENTS When your event grows beyond what manual messaging can handle, upgrade to Premium for that specific event: • Bulk WhatsApp invitations — Send personalised messages to every guest at once, instead of one by one. • Smart segmentation — Send reminders only to pending guests, or event updates only to those confirmed. • Delivery tracking — See exactly which messages were delivered, which failed, and retry the rest. • Share access — Let your spouse, siblings, or wedding planner manage the event with you. • Copy guest lists — Reuse the same guest list across multiple events (sangeet, mehendi, reception). • Direct human support over WhatsApp. Premium is priced per event, based on your guest count. Message us on WhatsApp at +91 63816 24259 and we'll set you up — usually the same day. WHO IT'S FOR • Brides, grooms, and families planning a wedding • Anyone hosting an engagement, birthday, or housewarming • Wedding planners and event coordinators • Anyone tired of chasing replies across WhatsApp groups PRIVACY Your guest list belongs to you. Contacts are imported only when you choose to. We never message your guests without you pressing send. SUPPORT Questions? Need help setting up your event? WhatsApp us at +91 63816 24259 or visit dawatapp.in. We respond personally — no chatbots. Welcome to the calmest way to celebrate. Welcome to Dawat.
