When three relatives reply “we’re coming” to a Sunday brunch invitation, you could be setting three places or twelve. Before you decide how many chairs to borrow and when to start the parathas, ask each household for a headcount.
With Mabrouk, you can share one RSVP link in the family WhatsApp group. Each household can send a Yes, No or Maybe and tell you how many people are coming. The replies appear together in your dashboard, so the person arranging seating and the person handling food can work from the same count.
Ask one person to reply for each household
Pick a time window and share it with the invitation. If you plan to serve brunch at 11:30, say so plainly. Ask one adult per household to count everyone covered by their invitation, including children. For relatives who prefer a phone call, keep a separate note and cross-check it against the dashboard before you total the replies.
Assalam-o-alaikum! Come for Sunday brunch at [place] on [date]. We’ll serve at [time]. Please reply by [day] at [RSVP link] with the total coming from your household, including children. If your plans change, message [host].
Guests can open the link in their browser without downloading an app or signing in. If someone sees the invitation forwarded through another chat, ask their household to coordinate who will submit the reply.
Turn replies into a shopping and seating plan
Suppose five households confirm for 17 people and two undecided households could add six. Use 17 as your confirmed count. Before buying extra perishables, follow up with the two undecided households and decide what you can prepare in a second round. Keep the number of children handy in your planning notes if they need different portions or chairs.
Set out plates and cups for the confirmed group, then keep a few spare places within reach. Ask about allergies or dietary needs in a private message and pass only the details your cook needs. A day before brunch, compare your invitation list with the replies and contact the relatives you are still waiting on.
