# RSVP-By Feature

**Setting an RSVP deadline**

**Can I set a cut-off date for RSVPs?**\
Yes. The RSVP Deadline setting lets you choose a date and time after which guests can no longer submit responses — handy when you need a firm headcount by a certain day. You can also set a deadline while still keeping RSVPs open if you'd prefer to collect responses beyond that date.

This feature is part of Evite's **Premium** service. It's included with all Premium templates. If you're using a free design, turning it on will upgrade your Invitation to Premium — which also unlocks all other Premium features.

**How do I set an RSVP deadline for an existing Invitation?**

1. Log in to your Evite account.
2. Click your initials or photo in the top right corner.
3. Select **My Invitations** and find your event.
4. Click **Manage Event.**
