RSVP

Create an event, share a link, see who’s coming.

Guests see this on the shared page.

You’ll get a public guest link and an admin link to edit later.

Collect yes/no replies for a simple event with a public guest link and a private admin link — picnics, meetups, study groups and small parties.

Who this is for

Anyone organising something small enough that a spreadsheet is overkill and a group chat is chaos: a picnic, a study group, a birthday, a team lunch. You create the event, send one link, and people reply yes, maybe or no without installing anything or making an account — which is the difference between getting replies and chasing them.

How to use Event RSVP

  1. Create an event with title, details and timing.
  2. Copy the guest link and share it with invitees.
  3. Keep the admin link private for edits and list review.
  4. Watch replies appear as people respond.
  5. Update details if plans change and notify guests out of band if needed.

Worked examples

Example 1. Picnic RSVP with a short description and yes/no answers.

Example 2. Study group: collect who is coming this week.

Example 3. Admin edits the location, guests still use the same public link.

Public vs admin links

Anyone with the guest link can respond. Anyone with the admin link can change the event. Treat the admin URL like a password — do not post it in a public channel.

Two links, two very different jobs

Every RSVP you create comes with a public link and an admin link. The public link is what guests need: it shows the event and lets them reply. The admin link is yours alone — it shows the full reply list and lets you edit or delete the event.

There is no password on either, because there is no account: the link is the credential. That makes sharing effortless and it means the admin link must be handled like a password. Keep it in a bookmark or a private note, never in the group chat where you posted the public one. If it leaks, delete the event and start again rather than leaving it open.

Common mistakes

Sending the admin link to the guests. That link is for managing the event, and anyone holding it can see and change everything — the public link is the one to share. Forgetting to state the timezone is the second, and it matters more than people expect for anything with guests in another state or country. The third is assuming replies are final: people change their minds, so check the list again close to the day rather than relying on numbers you read a fortnight earlier.

Tips

Put the essentials in the event name and description rather than in the message you send with the link, because the link gets forwarded and the message does not. Bookmark the admin link as soon as you create the event — it is the only way back in. If you need a firm number by a certain point, say so explicitly in the description; "maybe" is a useful answer for a picnic and a useless one when you are booking a table.

Accessibility notes

Replying is three plain buttons and a name field, which keeps the guest side simple for everyone regardless of device or assistive software. The guest list is a text list rather than a graphic, so it can be read aloud and copied. All setup controls are standard date, time and select inputs reachable by keyboard.

Limitations (honest)

Privacy

Creating an event stores the event details and the replies on the server, since guests need to reach them from their own devices. Guests supply only the name they choose to type — there is no account, no email address collected and no verification. Anyone holding the admin link can see the full reply list and change the event. Advertising cookies and the choices available to you are covered in the Privacy Policy and in the consent notice shown on your first visit.

Related tools on ToolsAre.Us

To agree a time across regions before you create the event, use the World Clock and Timezone Converter, and the Countdown gives guests a shared countdown to the day itself. If you are drawing a name from those who replied, the Random Picker will do it fairly. The full tool list is on the home page.
