RSVP vs. Standard Sign Up: What's the Difference

Key Differences Between RSVP and Standard Sign Ups

RSVP sign ups are recommended for single date events where a response from the invitee is required.

Before choosing this specialized format, here are some tips for understanding RSVP Sign Ups:

  • The number of guests cannot be limited. There is no limit to how many people can respond Yes
  • All invitees can choose the response: Yes, No or Maybe.
  • Invitees can choose to bring a guest.
  • The Maybe option and the Guest option are part of the code for the RSVP format and cannot be removed.
  • You will not have the ability to collect payments on an RSVP format sign up.

  • Reminder emails are sent to all members in the group, regardless of their response.
    • Invitees who have responded NO or not responded at all will need to be deleted from the contact list (group) if you don't want them to receive emails.
  • To print the sign up data for RSVP only sign ups, choose the Print Version from the Admin Toolbar.
  • If you want the data in an Excel spreadsheet > from the Admin Toolbar click Add/Edit/Delete People and highlight the table. Copy the data and paste it into your Excel worksheet.
  • The option to create a custom report is not available for RSVP format sign ups.
  • Custom Questions cannot be added to RSVP sign ups.

🧠 Genius Tip: If you need to collect additional information or payments from your participants, the standard format will be a better option.
