TenTenTen

Event RSVP script, copyright 2010 by Gordon Dexter ([email protected]), released under GPLv2 or later.

Summary

This script allows you to collect RSVPs from your guests over the internet. You must create an invitation, associate guests with that invitation, and when a guest views their invitation page they can specify who will and who won't be attending.

Backstory

For my wedding I put together an RSVP script that would allow guests to respond to their invitation through our wedding website. I looked all over the net but couldn't find an RSVP script that quite suited my needs, and figured I'd work from scratch. It wasn't a huge effort, just a few hours on my part, but I thought the community might benefit from my publicizing it. I called it 'tententen' because that was the date of my wedding. I'd love to hear from people who successfully use it.

Installation

TenTenTen is not yet terribly polished: The install process is basically

  • Untar files into a folder in your webserver's wwwroot directory
  • Create a db and run tables.sql
  • Fill in the db user and password in the database.php file
  • Add your own custom CSS and modify strings as desired
  • Manually create or import a guest list into the SQL tables in the correct format

You'll have to personalize it and create db entries for each of your invitations and guests.

Benefits

A few things which make this different from other RSVP scripts I found, and especially make it well-suited for very formal events such as a wedding:

  • It makes a distinction between an individual guest and an 'invitation', which may cover a whole family, so a household can RSVP all at once.
  • It is designed to have your invitations already programmed in, so guests may simply search for their invitation with their name and some identifying piece of information to prevent mischief. I used the house number, which provides a bare minimum of security, but you could use zip code, part of their phone number, or even a PIN that you include with the invitation if you wanted. This limits abuse by not allowing just anyone to RSVP.
  • It has an event table that represents a log of changes to the invitation table, to keep track of when people respond.

Downsides

  • Currently, must be installed, configured, and customized by hand
  • You have to enter in the guest list beforehand (this works fine for formal events like weddings, but I realize it may not be suited for much else)
  • You have to do the graphic design yourself
  • The administration and results viewing was done in PhpMyAdmin, so:
  • There's no page for results, although I have included a few SQL queries that show useful reports.
  • There's no page for adding new guests/invitations, although it would be easy to make

Any feedback is welcome. I can't guarantee support but may answer questions if I can.
