How to create your first event on RSVPlinks
An event is one page with an RSVP form and one link to share. You can build it before you have an account, and it takes a few minutes.

Arrive at the event dashboard
The event is live as soon as it is created, and you are taken to its dashboard, where replies arrive. See The event dashboard.
4. Share the link
Every event has one link. Anyone who opens it can read the page and reply. Guests do not need an account or an app.
- 1Your event link. On a paid event you can replace the random ending with your own words.
- 2Copy puts the link on your clipboard, ready to paste into a text, email or group chat.
- 3QR Code gives you a code to print on a paper invitation or a sign.
More ways to send it, including tracked email invites, are in Share your event.
What a free event includes
A free event collects up to 20 RSVPs, and an account can hold 5 free events. All 65 templates, 43 layouts, 220 color themes and 122 page effects are free, and so are the share link, QR code, live guest list and CSV export.
Paying for an event (from $7, once, not a subscription) raises the RSVP limit and unlocks a custom link, custom questions, guest limits, reminders and more. See Paid events, plans and credits.
Common questions
- Do I need an account to create an event?
- Not to start. You can pick a design and fill in the page first. You are asked to sign in or sign up when you press Create Event, and your work is kept.
- Do my guests need an account or an app to RSVP?
- No. Guests open the link in any browser, tap a reply and submit. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
- How many events can I create for free?
- 5 free events per account, each with up to 20 RSVPs. Paid events do not count toward that limit. An account can have up to 15 upcoming events at once.
- Can I change the design after the event is live?
- Yes. Open the event, press Edit, and change the template, layout, colors, fonts or cover. Guests see the new look the next time they open the link. The link itself does not change.
