Create RSVP for Guests of a Private Event

In this article, we will show you how you can create an RSVP for guests for a private event. Using this event type, you can have guests individually RSVP and pay if they are attending a private event like a corporate team building event or a bachelorette private party.

Here's how you will set-up the RSVP event:

In this example, we will assume that you have the following scenario: You want individual guests of a private event to pay $30 per person and provide their names when signing up for "Acme's Team Building Event".

  1. After logging into your Occasion account, click on "Settings" in top right navigation.
  2. Under Settings, go to "Service templates" page.
  3. Click on Add New Service and select the Individual / Recurring option.
  4. Once you have that in your list of services please click on Edit for the Individual / Recurring and do the following

    2. Mark it as Private by selecting the Public switch.
  5. Go back to the Service templates page and click on "Create Listing" below the "RSVP for a Private Party" template.
    1. If you don't see this template, click on "Add Service" button at the top-right and select "RSVP" template.
  6. Go to the "Basic" tab and in the title, enter "Acme's Team Building Event".
  7. Go to the "Timeslot" tab and add the event date/time.
  8. Go to the "Availability" tab and make sure to also adjust the availability so you do not over-book.
  9. Go to "Pricing" tab and click "Add Question".
  10. From the pop-up, select "Attendee Pricing".
