Adding guests
You have four ways to add guests to an event:- One at a time — enter a name and email address manually.
- Bulk entry — paste in multiple names and emails at once.
- CSV import — upload a spreadsheet with guest details.
- From a Circle — add an entire saved guest group in one click. Learn about Circles.
Sending invitations
When you add a guest, FastParty sends them an invitation email automatically. The email includes the event name, date, time, location, and a personal RSVP link.Guests do not need a FastParty account to RSVP. They click the link in the email and respond directly.
RSVP tracking
Each guest has one of four RSVP statuses:| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Invitation sent, no response yet |
| Accepted | Guest is coming |
| Declined | Guest can’t make it |
| Maybe | Guest is unsure |
Registered Events and registration approval
For Registered Events, the RSVP flow is different. Guests don’t receive a direct invitation — instead, they submit a registration request which you must approve before they’re confirmed.- Pending registrations appear in the Registrants tab of your event dashboard.
- You can approve or decline individual registrations, or bulk-approve all pending requests at once.
- Approved guests receive a confirmation and are added to the guest list.
- Declined guests are notified that their request was not accepted.
Guest details
For each guest you can see:- Name and email address
- RSVP status
- Dietary preference (if food preferences are enabled)
- Potluck contribution (if potluck is enabled)
