If you're hosting a public event, guests can register themselves without being preloaded to your invite list. RSVPify lets you control both:
The total number of attendees allowed for your event overall.
How many additional guests each registrant can bring.
Set your overall event capacity
Your overall event capacity controls the total number of attendees your event can accommodate. Think of this as the master limit for your entire event. For example, if your venue holds 150 people, this is where you set that ceiling.
To adjust your event capacity:
Open your event dashboard.
Go to your RSVP or Ticketing block.
On the right-hand side, open the General Settings panel.
In the Content section, click the gear icon next to the RSVP option you want to cap (for example, Attending).
Enter your maximum number of attendees and click Save.
Set an additional guest limit per registration
Once your overall capacity is set, you can control how many additional guests each individual registrant may add to their RSVP.
To adjust this setting:
Open your event dashboard.
Click Registration form in the left-hand navigation.
Scroll to the bottom of your form and select Add additional guest under Questions in the left panel.
On the right-hand side, open the General Settings panel.
Under Additional Guest Limit, choose one of the following:
None: registrants can't add any additional attendees.
Limited: set a specific number of additional guests per registration (for example, 1 or 2).
Unlimited: registrants can add as many additional attendees as they like.
If you select None, the Add additional guest button doesn't appear, so registrants can't add anyone. If you select Limited, registrants see the button during registration and can use it until they reach your limit. Once they do, the button goes away. For example, with a limit of 1, it disappears after they add one guest. With a limit of 3, it disappears after the third. If you select Unlimited, the button always shows. You can customize the button label (for example, 'Add plus-one') in the same settings panel.
Putting it together
You might allow up to 300 total attendees for your event while limiting each registrant to 1 additional guest. This lets you accommodate plus-ones without losing control over your headcount.
Event Capacity controls the total number of attendees across all registrations.
Additional Guest Limit controls how many extra attendees each individual registrant can add.
A few things to note
These settings apply to public events where guests register themselves.
Public events don't require guests to already be on your invite list.
For private or invite-only events, plus-one permissions are managed directly from your invite list instead.
