Once your guest website and RSVP form are ready, it’s time to get the word out and start inviting guests!
How to Invite Guests
Go to the Guest Management tab and find the Invite button on the far right side of the page.
From there, you'll see a few different ways to invite guests to your event:
Invite by Email
Paste in guest email addresses— you can always copy and paste from a list.
Invite by Link
Copy the unique invite link and share it however you like—email, Slack, Teams, or any internal tool. Guests click the link, follow the RSVP process, and are automatically added to your guest list.
Invite by Bulk Upload
There are two ways to use Bulk Invite: Form Entry and Bulk CSV Upload.
Form Entry
In Form Entry, you can enter a guest’s first name, last name, and email address.
These guests are automatically marked as attending and won’t receive an email notification.
This is ideal for VIPs or people you know are attending and don’t need to RSVP.
Bulk CSV Upload
For Bulk CSV Upload, download the CSV template and add your guest information exactly as outlined (format matters!).
Tip: If you’re inviting via CSV, start with our Bulk Upload guide—step-by-step plus common fixes.
Upload the completed file and choose one of three options:
Send invites – emails guests and prompts them to RSVP
Mark all as attending, don’t notify – no emails are sent
Mark all as attending and notify – emails guests to confirm their attendance
Customizing Your Invite
For any invitation form, you can fully customize the invitation message to your event's needs. Use the Write your message box to add a custom note to your invitation.
This is a great place to include a warm welcome, highlight special event details, or add any information you want guests to see upfront.
After adding your message, select Preview & Continue to see exactly how it will look when sent.
You can also choose to send invitations directly from your own Google email address rather than the default BoomPop sender. To do this, check the Send invitation from your email address box on the preview screen.
Next, select Send Invites. The first time you use this feature, you’ll be prompted to authorize BoomPop to send emails on your behalf.
Just click Allow on the Google authorization screen, and your guests will see the invite come straight from you. Sending invitations from your own email address can make them feel more personal and familiar—often leading to higher open rates and faster RSVPs.
If you choose not to send from your personal Google account, invitations will be sent from BoomPop ([email protected]). If your company has strict email security or firewalls, let your IT team know so these invitations don’t get blocked.
Automatic RSVP Reminders
If a guest hasn’t RSVP’d, they’ll automatically get a reminder email every 5 days—up until 40 days before the event.
You can also send reminders manually from the Guest Management page in the Communication dropdown.
What Guests See When They RSVP
Guests click the link in their email or your shared invite link.
They’re taken to your Guest Website and don’t need to log in or create an account.
Guests indicate if they can attend:
Yes: they answer any RSVP questions and receive a confirmation email.
No: they can optionally add a reason for declining.
