WhatsApp invitation and RSVP message templates in Bahasa Melayu, English, Bahasa Indonesia and 中文

The message you send with the link matters as much as the invitation itself. Short, warm and personal messages get opened and answered; long blocks of text and bare links get ignored. These templates are written to be sent one by one from the Guestwise Send page, where {name} and {link} are filled in automatically.

Key takeaways

  • Address the family by name — it is the single biggest factor in getting a reply.
  • Say clearly what you need (“please let us know by 15 November”).
  • Keep the link on its own at the end so WhatsApp shows a preview.

Tips that make a difference

  • Send in the morning or after maghrib/dinner — avoid late nights.
  • Send to the person who manages the family chat, and put the whole household on that invitation.
  • Do not paste the same message into large groups; personal messages are far less likely to be ignored or reported as spam.
  • Set the wording once per language under Send → Message wording; Guestwise fills in the name, date, deadline and link for each family.

Questions

Can each family receive a different language?

Yes. Set the language on each invitation; the WhatsApp message and the invitation page use that language.

Can I send by email or SMS instead?

Yes. Email sending is included from Event Pass; SMS opens your phone’s messaging app with the text prepared.
