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.

  3. You can go through the steps to create your invitation.

  4. Go to the Details step.

  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.

Notes:

  • You can use the same instructions to reverse this action.

  • You can view your guest comments by going to your Manage Event page.

  • As the host, the guest list will appear when you view the invitation, no matter what settings you select. The hidden guest list setting will apply to your guests view.

  • Regardless of the settings selected, we will always keep your guests email addresses and phone numbers private.
