Collect RSVPs for your event

Updated October 20, 2026

Turn on RSVPs for an event and your event page asks guests whether they're coming: Yes, Maybe or No. Every reply is saved on the event's RSVPs tab, and guests who say Yes or Maybe can add the event to their calendar right away.

Turn on RSVPs

Go to Events, click your event, and click the Edit tab. For a new event, click New Event and fill in the details.
Turn on Collect RSVPs.
In the menu next to it, choose an RSVP form, or keep Default Template.
Click Save changes, or Create Event Link for a new event.

The Collect RSVPs switch turned on and circled, with its menu open listing Default Template, Book Swap RSVP, other saved forms and Create New RSVP Form, Book Swap RSVP highlighted — Turn on Collect RSVPs and pick a form

To ask your own questions, like a meal choice or how many guests are coming, see Build a custom RSVP form.

What guests see

Your event page shows an RSVP button. Guests choose an answer, fill in the form and send it.

Open the event and click the RSVPs tab. Under RSVP STATS, you see how many are Attending, Maybe and Not Attending. Below, the Attendees List shows every reply with its answers. You can export the list as a CSV file.
