# RSVP-By Feature

If you need to set a cut-off date for your guests to be able to submit their responses, you can do so anytime prior to your event date. We offer a helpful setting for hosts to add an RSVP-by date that will prevent RSVP collection on that date. Hosts may also set the RSVP-By date, but opt to continue collecting responses as well. This feature is part of our **Premium** invitation service, so there will be a charge to enable it.\
