And getting your RSVPs set up is as simple as checking a box when you create a new event with AddEvent.

First, create or log in to your AddEvent account.
Sign up for an AddEvent account if you don’t already have one. Choose from our free Hobby plan or one of our paid plans, which come with lots of additional features. Learn more about our plans on our plans and pricing page.
Now, it’s time to create your event in AddEvent and enable RSVPs.
Navigate to the dashboard in your AddEvent account.
Then, click the “Create” button, and select “Event”.
Enter your event details, including the event name, time, date, location, description, etc. Then click the “Create” button to publish the event landing page.
Make sure you select the checkbox next to “RSVP” to enable RSVP collection for this event.
If you want to collect additional information using custom fields, you can select your previously saved RSVP form using the drop-down next to “Standard RSVP.”
To customize a new RSVP form, go to the event details page > RSVP and settings > Click on “Custom RSVP forms”.
Once on the Custom RSVP forms page, click “+New Form” and create and save your RSVP form with custom fields as desired.
Different Ways to Share Your RSVP Event
There are a few different ways you can share your RSVP event with potential attendees. First, head back to your RSVP Event Details page in your AddEvent dashboard.
RSVP Event Landing Page URLs for Social Media
You can share your RSVP event landing page with the URLs provided on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. You can also use these URLs in SMS text messages.
RSVP Buttons for Email and Websites
To use the RSVP button in your emails, newsletters and other marketing campaigns, simply copy the image below and paste it into your email or campaign content editor.
If you’re going to use the RSVP button on your website or landing page, simply copy the button below and add it to your website using custom HTML options in your website or landing page system.
You can either use one of the pre-formatted buttons or customize your RSVP button to match your company’s branding when you select the “New” button at the bottom of the box. There, you can change the RSVP button’s shape, color, size, etc.
Once you’ve saved the configuration you want to use for your RSVP button, you need to copy the HTML code via the “Copy” button at the top of the box or the “<>” button at the bottom.
We recommend using the “<>” button at the bottom to copy the RSVP button HTML code, as some marketing automation tools have issues with the “Copy” button.
Now, it’s time to copy and paste that code into the HTML block in your email tool. A black box will appear at the bottom half of your screen, where you will copy and paste the entire code.
Embeddable RSVP Form for Your Website and Landing Pages
Add an embedded event to your website and let your users easily view your event on your own website. This works great with website editors like WordPress, Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, etc.
This allows your attendees to RSVP to your event without ever leaving your website or landing page! Talk about easy.
