What are the best practices for managing RSVPs on Squarespace?

Last updated July 1, 2026

Embedding the RSVP form directly on your Squarespace page - rather than linking away to a separate URL - is the single highest-impact practice. Attendees who stay on your site convert to RSVPs at a higher rate than those sent to an external page.

1. Embed the form directly on your page

Use AddEvent's embeddable RSVP form widget via a Squarespace Code block. Attendees complete registration without leaving your site, which reduces friction and drop-off, especially on mobile.

2. Add an Add to Calendar confirmation step

After someone RSVPs, they should immediately be able to save the event to their calendar. AddEvent's confirmation page and confirmation email both include this automatically - you don't need to configure anything extra. This is the step that most reduces no-shows.

3. Set up automated reminder emails

Create a Notification Flow in AddEvent with a 1-week and 1-day reminder. Squarespace has no native event reminder functionality, so this is entirely handled by AddEvent. Build the flow once and reuse it across future events.

4. Enable seat limits if your event has capacity

Set a maximum attendee count in AddEvent's event settings. When you hit the limit, the form closes automatically - no manual monitoring needed. Squarespace doesn't offer this natively.

5. Share your AddEvent landing page for social and email promotion

For sharing on Instagram, LinkedIn, or in email campaigns, use the AddEvent-hosted event landing page URL - it's optimized for link sharing with the correct OG preview image. Use your Squarespace page for visitors already on your website.

6. Export attendees for follow-up

Download your RSVP attendee list as CSV from AddEvent after the event. Use it for post-event follow-up emails, feedback surveys, or to add attendees to a nurture sequence in your email platform.
