What it is
Git Hitched is a free, open-source wedding website couples host themselves and customize. Guests enter a shared invite code, then can RSVP by household and respond separately to each invited event, including meal choices and dietary notes. The app tracks children and childcare requests, while an admin dashboard groups children by age bracket and event. Admins can manage invitations and guests, review RSVP and attendance reports, send bulk email, and import invites from a Google Sheets CSV URL. They can also assign guests to event tables, adjust seating with drag-and-drop, and export seating plans to Excel. Guests can book hotel rooms through Stripe Checkout, and admins can manage bookings and issue refunds. The software sends invitation, RSVP, reminder, and hotel booking emails through configurable providers such as SendGrid or Postmark. Its configurable content pages, branding, events, and page visibility let couples adapt the template. The project uses Ruby on Rails, is licensed under MIT, and includes container-based deployment configuration for Render and Kamal.
