How to create a website and collect RSVP's

Written by Jess

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a New Event

  • Log in to your Happenly account.

  • Click the “Create New Event” button.

  • Fill in your event's name, date, and location.

2. Choose a Design Template

  • Browse our selection of modern, elegant themes.

  • Select a template that matches your event's style.

3. Customize Your Event Details

  • Add a compelling event description.

  • Upload a banner image or logo.

  • Include essential details like schedule, dress code, or FAQs.

4. Set Your Event's Privacy

  • Public: Anyone can find your event via search engines.

  • Private: Only guests with the direct link can access your event.

Please note: public access means anyone can find your event (search engine optimized) and private access means only those who have your event’s web address/URL can find your event.

5. Then, customize your Event Website by updating the banner image, updating the event description and adding sections / content blocks.

6. Next, save and exit the Website Editor to set up your registration.

7. Set up your Registration Type:

  • Simple Registration: the easiest registration type for free events because anyone with website access can reply.

  • RSVP Registration: a more private registration type for free events because it requires the event coordinator to upload names and email addresses for verification. Guests can reply only if they are on the list.

8. Customize Form Questions, Confirmations, and Notifications:

  • Form Questions: Add custom form questions to collect additional biographical or event-specific information.

  • Confirmations: Customize the confirmation web page and confirmation email with event-specific information.

  • Notifications: Receive notifications when guests RSVP for your event.

9. Then, Publish Event:

  • Click the purple Publish Event button at the top of the screen. Then, the event is live and accessible to your guests.
