How do I close the RSVP form?

Stop accepting new RSVPs when you've reached capacity or no longer need responses.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: Go to RSVP > Form, click RSVP settings, and toggle off Enable RSVPs.

Closing the form

  1. Go to RSVP > Form
  2. Click RSVP settings
  3. Toggle off Enable RSVPs
  4. Choose where to redirect visitors (e.g., "Form closed notice")
  5. Click Save changes

About the deadline date

The RSVP deadline date is for display and reminder emails only. It does not automatically close the form. You'll need to manually toggle off Enable RSVPs when you're ready to stop accepting responses.

What guests see when closed

When the RSVP form is closed, guests may see:
- "RSVP is now closed"
- "The deadline has passed"
- A message directing them to contact you

Reopening the form

If you need to accept more RSVPs:
1. Go to RSVP > Form, click RSVP settings
2. Toggle on Enable RSVPs
3. The form becomes accessible again
4. Let guests know they can now RSVP

Tips

  • Close the form after your final headcount deadline
  • You can still manually add responses after closing
  • Consider keeping it open with a "late" message instead of fully closing
  • Send final reminders before closing
  • Have an alternative way for late responders to reach you
