What are the RSVP settings and where are they?

The RSVP settings page is where you decide the rules of replying. Guests see the result on the invitation's reply form.

Open the settings

1. 1Open the invitation from your dashboard.
2. 2Choose RSVP settings. The card is headed "How guests reply".
3. 3Change what you need, then choose Save RSVP settings.

Changes apply to the live invitation immediately; there is no need to republish. Owners and co-hosts with the Editor role can change them; Viewers can only look.

The settings

• Accept RSVPs: on for every new invitation. Off, the form reads "RSVPs are closed".
• RSVP deadline: replies close automatically after this moment. See RSVP deadline.
• Plus ones: None, or Up to 1 to Up to 10. How many extra people someone may bring through the shared link; personal links use each guest's own passes. See plus-ones.
• Require names: ask for the name of every extra guest.
• Require guest approval: guests "request to join" and you confirm each one. See approve replies and the waitlist.
• Max capacity: set a number and further Yes replies join a waitlist once it is reached.
• Guests can invite friends: after replying, guests see a button to share the invitation.
• RSVP button style: "Joyfully accept / decline", or a casual set that reads "Yes, I'll be there!" and "Can't make it".
• Guests can RSVP "Maybe": a third option for guests who are not sure yet.
• Questionnaire: up to five questions asked when a guest says Yes or Maybe. Each has a label, a type (Short answer, Long answer, Yes / No, or Multiple choice with two to eight options) and a Required switch. Once guests answer, their answers appear under each question.

Settings that live in the design

Which fields the form shows is set on the RSVP block in the studio, per design: whether to ask for a headcount, dietary requirements, a message for the hosts and which days a guest will join, plus the block's title and button label. A function's Separate RSVP switch, on the schedule, decides whether guests answer for it on its own. See reply per function.

If the RSVP page is switched off

An invitation whose RSVP page is off takes no replies, and this page says so with an Update details button. Switch the RSVP page back on in Update invitation details to take replies again; earlier replies are kept.
