MEC RSVP Events Addon

MEC RSVP Events Addon

The MEC RSVP Events Addon enhances Modern Events Calendar (MEC) by enabling streamlined RSVP functionality, allowing guests to confirm their attendance with customizable forms directly on the event page. This extension is perfect for event organizers who need to efficiently manage attendance without complex registration systems.

At its core, the addon allows event visitors to RSVP using their name and email, and offers the flexibility to include additional custom fields like phone number, guest count, or dietary preferences. All input is secured through form validation and optional CAPTCHA to prevent spam submissions.

One of the key strengths lies in its administrative toolkit. Organizers gain access to a dedicated dashboard listing all RSVPs per event, which includes options to export data (e.g., to CSV), filter attendees by date or status, and manage RSVPs manually. This aids in quick guest check-ins, hospitality planning, and tailored communications to participants.

To prevent overbooking, the plugin supports attendee limits per event. Once the maximum RSVPs are reached, users receive a clear notification or can be added to a waiting list. The RSVP forms themselves are fully customizable—from colors and layouts to messages and confirmations—ensuring brand consistency and a polished user experience.

The addon also facilitates automated email interactions, sending personalized confirmations immediately after RSVP and reminder messages before the event. This engagement helps reduce no-shows and keeps attendees informed.

Built with modern coding standards using PHP, JavaScript, and inner hooks of MEC, the addon integrates seamlessly without conflict. It’s designed to be lightweight and responsive, ensuring RSVP forms work seamlessly across all devices.

This addon aligns perfectly with small to medium-size events such as workshops, webinars, meetups, and class registrations. It streamlines the RSVP process, improves attendee engagement, and centralizes attendance data for better planning and execution—all while providing guests a smooth confirmation experience.
