An RSVP landing page is a standalone hosted URL where attendees go to register for your event. An RSVP widget is the same registration form embedded directly on your own website - same functionality, different delivery mechanism.

RSVP landing page (hosted by AddEvent)

AddEvent automatically creates and hosts a unique event registration page for every RSVP event you create.

How it works:

• You share the URL (in emails, on social media, via QR code, or anywhere else)
• Attendees click through to the AddEvent-hosted page
• They see your event details and fill in the RSVP form
• After registering, they receive a confirmation email with an Add to Calendar button

Best for: sharing in email campaigns, social media, or anywhere you want a frictionless link. No website required. AddEvent handles all the hosting.

RSVP widget (embedded on your site)

The embeddable RSVP form is a code snippet you paste into your own website. The form renders natively on your page - attendees register without being redirected anywhere.

How it works:

• Copy the embed code from your AddEvent event's sharing options
• Paste it into a Custom HTML block on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, or any other website builder
• Attendees fill in the form without leaving your site
• The same confirmation email and Add to Calendar flow fires automatically

Best for: organizations that want to keep attendees on their own branded website throughout the registration experience. Better for conversion when your site already has strong branding and credibility.

Which should you use?

Use the landing page when you're sharing broadly and need a quick, shareable URL - social media, email, text messages, or QR codes.

Use the widget when you want registration to happen on your own website - product pages, event hubs, or anywhere where staying on your site matters.

Many teams use both for the same event: the widget on their website for organic visitors, and the landing page URL in their email campaigns.
