Rumor offers multiple ways to invite guests, making it easy to reach attendees whether they’re already in your network or completely new to your events.
To get started, navigate to your Event Details page and click Invite Guests.
Depending on your workflow, you can invite guests from your existing network, by email, through a CSV upload, by sharing a public link, or by quickly adding confirmed guests directly to your guest list.
Invitation Methods
Regardless of which invitation method you choose, you’ll first select how you want guests to join your event.
Notify
Sends guests an notification to request access to your event. Guests are directed to your Event Form, where they can submit an RSVP request. Their request will appear in the Requests tab of your Guest List for review. This option is ideal for events that require screening or approval before confirming attendance.
Invite
Sends guests a direct invitation to attend your event. When a guest accepts the invitation, they are automatically added to your Confirmed guest list without needing to submit an RSVP request. This option is best for VIP guests, private events, or attendees you already know will be admitted.
Customizing Guest Emails
Whenever a caret (▼) appears next to an action button, you can customize the message that will be sent to your guests.
From the message editor, you can:
Edit the subject line
Customize the email body
Insert dynamic variables (such as guest name, event name, date, and time)
Preview the email before sending
If no changes are made, Rumor will use your default event message template.
My Network
Invite guests from your existing Rumor network, including previous events and saved lists.
Choose between:
Groups – Invite guests from saved guest lists or previous events.
Everyone – Browse and select individual contacts from your network.
Invite individual guests by entering their email address.
First, choose whether you’d like to send a Notify or Invite invitation. The available fields will update based on the option you select.
Notify
When Notify is selected, you’ll be prompted to enter:
Guest email address
Invite
When Invite is selected, you’ll need to enter:
Guest email address
First name
Last name

Number of Plus Ones (if applicable)
CSV Import
Invite guests in bulk by uploading a CSV file.
To get started:
Download the appropriate CSV template.
Populate the spreadsheet with your guest information.
Upload the completed CSV file.
Choose either Notify or Invite before sending.
CSV imports are ideal for importing large guest lists from external platforms or spreadsheets.
Share Link
Generate a shareable invitation link that can be distributed anywhere.
Simply copy the generated link and share it through:
Social media
Email
Text message
Messaging apps
Websites
Newsletters
Anyone who opens the link will be taken to your Event Form.
Choose between:
Notify
Guests submit an RSVP request through the Event Form.
Requests are added to the Requests tab of your Guest List for approval.
Invite
Guests receive a direct invitation and are automatically confirmed after accepting.
Quick Add
Quick Add allows you to immediately add guests to your Confirmed guest list without sending an invitation.
Simply enter one guest per line. For example:
John Doe
Jane Smith +1
Alex Johnson +2
Quick Add is ideal for:
Walk-in guests
VIP attendees
Offline guest lists
Last-minute additions
Guests who do not require an invitation
Guests added through Quick Add bypass the invitation and RSVP process and are immediately added to your Confirmed guest list.
