Wix is a platform that allows users to create custom websites for their weddings. Wix Events lets users create RSVP events and ticketed events. For RSVP events, guests confirm their attendance in advance using a registration form, making them ideal for weddings. Wix provides a range of customisation options for registration forms, including the ability to edit existing fields, add new fields, and update colours and fonts. Users can also personalise the Thank you and Registration closed messages. However, some users have noted limitations, such as the inability to restrict who may RSVP and add guests. To overcome this, some users have linked external RSVP forms from other platforms to their Wix website.

What You'll Learn
Customising the registration form
When creating a Wix wedding site, you can customise the registration form to gather essential details from your guests. First name, last name, and email are required fields on the registration form and cannot be removed. However, you can add or remove other fields at any time, allowing you to tailor the form to your needs. For example, you can allow guests to bring up to 10 additional guests and specify whether the names of these additional guests are required.
To edit the registration form, go to your site's dashboard and click 'Events'. Click 'Manage' next to the relevant event, then click the 'Settings' tab. From here, you can click 'Edit' next to 'Registration form' and select '+ Add Fields' to add new fields to the form. You can also edit existing fields to match your voice and tone and collect additional information.
You can also customise the design of the registration form by updating the colours, font, background, header, paragraphs, buttons, and more to match your site's aesthetic. Additionally, you can edit the 'Submit' button text and the submission message that guests will see after completing the form.
In your event settings, you can view responses to the registration form questions by clicking on the 'Guests' tab. You can also export the guest list to view a table with all your guests' responses.

Allowing guests to bring plus ones
First, go to ''Events' in your site's dashboard and click 'Manage' next to the relevant event. Then, click the ''Settings' tab and click 'Edit' next to 'Registration form'. From here, you can click '+ Add Fields' under 'What info do you need?' and select 'Additional Guests'. You can then select how many guests are allowed to attend the event. You can choose between ''Single Guest', which allows guests to bring one additional guest, and 'Multiple Guests', which lets you select the number of additional guests (up to 10). You can also edit the 'Additional guest' text field and choose whether guest names are required. Finally, click the checkmark icon to save your changes.
It is worth noting that some users have expressed concerns about Wix's lack of customisation options for RSVPs. Specifically, there is no option to restrict who can add guests, so those who were not offered plus ones may see the option to add a guest. To get around this, you could include a disclaimer stating that, due to capacity limitations, only those listed on the invitation can attend. Alternatively, you could link a Google Form in place of the Wix RSVP form, which may offer more flexibility.

Changing the registration status
When creating an RSVP event on Wix, you can change the registration status at any time. Guests can only register when the status is 'Open'.

To change the registration status, go to "Events" in your site's dashboard. Click to select the relevant event, then click the "Settings" tab. Click "Edit" next to "Registration settings" and select "Guests don't need to register" under "Guests can register on".
You can also customize the "Thank you" and "Registration closed" messages that guests see. To do this, go to the "Events" in your site's dashboard. You can also update the colours, font, and more to get a look that suits your site.
In addition to customizing the registration form design, you can edit existing fields or introduce new ones to collect additional information. First name, last name, and email are required fields on the registration form and cannot be removed. However, you can decide whether or not guests need to RSVP if they don't plan on attending. You can also allow guests to bring additional attendees and set a limit on the number of extra guests.

Adding a schedule
When creating an RSVP event on Wix, you can add a schedule to your event to outline where and when different activities take place. This can be very helpful if you're organizing a wedding with separate performances or lectures. To add a schedule, you first need to complete and save the event. Once it's saved, you can select the event and create a schedule.
To create an RSVP event, go to your Wix site dashboard and click "Events". Then, click "Manage" next to the relevant event and click "Edit" next to "Registration Form". Here, you can customize the form to gather details such as guest names, meal preferences, and special requests. First name, last name, and email are required fields and cannot be removed. You can also allow guests to add additional attendees (up to 10) and choose whether or not guests need to RSVP if they don't plan on attending.
After saving the event, you can add a schedule to give your participants an overview of the event timeline. This can be especially useful for weddings with multiple activities happening at different times and locations.
You can also customize the "Submit" button text to personalize how guests complete their RSVP. Additionally, you can edit the "Thank You" and "Registration Closed" messages that guests will see after registering, declining, or when registration is closed.
Keep in mind that you can also create ticketed events on Wix and sell tickets with a Business Premium plan. However, for weddings or private gatherings, RSVP events are more suitable as they allow you to track attendance without issuing tickets.
