FREE RSVP allows you to create as many events as you like. There are no restrictions and there never will be.

Creating an event is pretty simple. For this you need to locate a "Creae Event" link around your user dashboard. Or login and click the link below

Create Event

From there you need to simply add in the required information

• Event Title - This is a required field, keep this short and simple for your guests
• Active Event - This needs to be turned on for your guests to be able to RSVP, this feature allows an Event organiser to quickly stop RSVP's or activate their event
• Open Event - This will generate you an Open Event ID link which you can give to any person. Anyone with this link and the Event start date will be able to RSVP to the event by creating themselves as a guest on the Event.
• Event Start Date - The date and time is needed here
• Location Description - A brief description about the location of your event
• RSVP Cut off date - This will be the date and time where RSVP's will stop for the event. Any guest trying to RSVP after this date will receive a message box from which they can send an internal message. You as the event organiser can either extend this date or manually RSVP for them
• Post code/Zip code - Entering a valid postcode or address into this field will generate a dynamic map of the location of your event, the post code is optional
• Event Details - This is just a free text field to enter a description about your event

If you have enterd a valid postcode the system will try and plot your event location on a map for your guests.

When you click save you will now have extra options to enter a menu, have visibility of the guest list and upload documents

If you wish to cancel your event you can do this by clicking the "My EVENTS" tab and selecting the deactivate or delete button against the event.

To invite a guest to your event you will firstly need to create a contact, you can do this by clicking the "MY CONTACTS" tab from the navigation

You can add a contact by:

• Adding a contact manually - Simply click the add a contact tab and enter the name of the contact. Names must be unique and the email address and phone number are optional fields.
• Importing from Facebook - If you are not already authenticated with Facebook then you will be directed to the Facebook login screen. Once authenticated the system will dynamically load your Facebook Friends to a confirmation screen. You can then select which friends to import. Clicking import will save your friends to your contact list
• Importing from Excel - Simply download the template by clicking the link, and enter your contact and information into the required fields. Note email and phone number are not mandatory so just leave this blank if required. Once you hae finished and saved the file you can then proceed to import the file, the system will validate the file prior to import

Once you imported and built up your contact list you can now assign these contacts to an event. This is achieved by selecting your event from the drop down and multi selecting all the contacts you wish to assign. Clicking the assign button will create the contact as a guest on this event. On the right hand side of the screen you will see your event list along with the guests assigned to that event.

You can then invite your guests by either Email, SMS or Print. Selecting the "Invites and Reports" tab will give you these options

Guests can RSVP in many ways depending on how you have set up your event

Please note if you receive an invite with an EventID on it then this is more likely to be an event from the old system running at www.freersvp.co.uk, you will still be authenticated on the new system but will be given instruction to navigate to the old system to RSVP

• Open Event - If you have selected your event to be an Open Event then the system will generate you a unique event ID link which can be sent to anyone outside your contacts list. On visiting this link the user will be required to enter their contact information and confirm the event date. The guest will receive an RSVP screen as normal
