How to Convert a Canva Invitation Into a WhatsApp RSVP Link
Making a gorgeous Canva invitation is simple. The challenge appears after the design is complete: how to share the design, how to gather the RSVPs, and how to stay in touch with who is coming?
The simple way to get it done is to upload your invitation to InviteFlare, fill in your event information, create a shareable link, and send that link via WhatsApp. Guests can access the invitation online, submit their RSVP, and you can monitor all responses from one dashboard.
From birthdays, baby showers, weddings, anniversaries, and housewarmings to corporate events, making your Canva design a WhatsApp RSVP invitation makes it easier to manage your guests and eliminates the manual hassle of gathering RSVPs.
Why Canva Invitations Alone Aren’t Enough?
While Canva is a great tool for creating designs, it is not designed to be used for RSVP management.
If you send an invitation from Canva as an image or PDF directly via WhatsApp:
– The guest’s response must be done by hand.
– The responses to RSVP are hidden in the chat.
– Failing to follow up with guests can be hard.
– You have no control over the number of guests attending your event.
– It can get tedious to monitor attendance
This is where InviteFlare comes in handy:
You don’t just send out a static image; you transform your Canva evite into a shareable invitation page that includes RSVP tracking.
How to Convert a Canva Invitation Into a WhatsApp RSVP Link?
Just a couple of minutes, and RSVP ready Canva invite will be ready!
Step 1: Design Your Invitation On Canva
To make your online invitation, go to Canva and design your invitation as you normally would.
Don’t forget to add the following information:
– Event name
– Date
– Time
– Venue
– The guidelines for dress will be followed (where appropriate)
– Special instructions
– After you have your design completed, export it as
– PNG
– JPG
All these can be easily uploaded to InviteFlare to get the RSVP advantage.
Step 2: Upload your invitation to InviteFlare
Log in to InviteFlare and make a new invitation.
Upload the Canva invitation file that you have exported.
InviteFlare creates a website invitation page for you, which you can view from any device.
This enables guests to see the invitation without downloading big files or zooming in on the picture invitation sent through texts.
Step 3: Enter Event Information
Once you’ve uploaded your design, enter the details of your event:
– Event title
– Event date
– Event time
– Location
– Description
– RSVP deadline
This information enables guests to quickly and effectively grasp what’s going on and take appropriate action to answer the question.
Step 4: Enable RSVP Collection
Respond directly from the invitation page: They will be able to reply directly from the invitation page, letting you know if they are going to come or not.
All of the responses are centralized within your InviteFlare dashboard as opposed to dozens of WhatsApp messages.
Step 5: Create Your Invitation Link
When all is set, post your invitation.
InviteFlare creates an exclusive invitation link with the following included:
– Your Canva design
– Event information
– RSVP functionality
This is the URL that you will share with your guests via WhatsApp.
Step 6: Share The Link via WhatsApp
Take a copy of your invitation link and send it via WhatsApp to:
– Individual chats
– Family groups
– Friends groups
– Community groups
– Broadcast lists
All the guests need to do is click it, get the invitation, and submit their RSVP.
Step 7: Generate an RSVP Report from InviteFlare
InviteFlare automatically updates the RSVP list as guests respond.
You can easily see:
– Accepted invitations
– Declined invitations
– Pending responses
– Total guest count
No spreadsheets. No manual tracking. No need to go through WhatsApp chats.

Why InviteFlare’s WhatsApp Invitation Maker Stands Out
Unlike other applications/websites, InviteFlare is created especially for sharing the invite and handling the RSVP. InviteFlare makes it easy to not only design an invitation but also upload, create, and then gather and track all RSVPs in one place.
But the standout feature is its WhatsApp-first experience. An invitation link can be created and sent via WhatsApp groups, chats, or broadcast lists, and all guest responses can be tracked on InviteFlare. There is no need for the users to download an app and no need for the hosts to edit their responses in WhatsApp conversations.
InviteFlare is also customizable to accept your own Canva or custom-made invitation design to ensure that you have complete creative control and still receive professional RSVP tracking. This all leads to an improved event invitation management process, which is faster, cleaner, and more organized.

Make the WhatsApp invitation now, and begin receiving RSVPs without having to handle these separately.
Have you already designed your invitation? Upload it to InviteFlare.
The design flexibility is a reason why many hosts opt to create virtual invitations using Canva but they often feel they are missing out in the field of Whatsapp sharing and RSVP.
You can upload your current Canva design and make it into an RSVP invite that you can share.
Perfect For:
– Housewarming celebrations
– Corporate events
– Community gatherings
Upload your invitation design and make it a WhatsApp RSVP link in no time!
Errors To Avoid While Sending the Invitation Link
Sending Only an Image on WhatsApp
Images are great, but not very easy to track when it comes to RSVP.
Always use an invitation link that is RSVP enabled.
Collecting Responses Manually
With dozens of individual messages, it can get very overwhelming.
Take advantage of a single RSVP system to streamline the process.
Forgetting RSVP Deadlines
Be sure to add a deadline for RSVPing so that guests know when to reply.
Not Tracking Pending Guests
It is much easier to follow up when you have a good look at who hasn’t replied.
