# Hide Guest List

**Showing or hiding your guest list**

**Can I control whether guests see who else is invited?**\
Yes. You decide who sees your guest list — just you, or everyone on it.

**How do I hide my guest list?**\
Go to your RSVP Options settings and toggle guest list visibility to private. Guests will still get their Invitation and can RSVP — they just won't see the full list of who else is coming.

**Can I change this setting after I've already sent my Invitation?**\
Yes. You can switch between public and private at any point before or after sending. The change takes effect immediately.

**Why would I want to hide my guest list?**\
A few reasons hosts go private: surprise parties (obviously), smaller gatherings where the full list might feel awkward, or events with VIP attendees who prefer a lower profile. No judgment either way.

**Why would I want to show my guest list?**\
A visible guest list can actually boost RSVPs — when guests see that other people are coming, they're more likely to commit. Useful for bigger gatherings where social momentum matters.

**Can guests see who's coming even if the list is hidden?**\
No. A private guest list means only you can see names and RSVP statuses. Guests will see their own RSVP status, nothing more.. 

**To hide your guest list while the invitation is in draft mode, please follow the steps below:**

1. Log in to your Evite account. 
2. Create your invitation draft.

5. Click on **Manage Guest Settings** under **Guest Options**.
6. Toggle the setting to keep the guest list private on or off.
7. Select **Save** to save your changes.
