You have a couple of options within EventCreate if you're interested in sending save the date information and pre-registering interested guests.
✅ Option 1: Create a Website for Info Only (Hide the Registration Button)
If you’re not ready to accept registrations just yet, you can still create a website to share event details and collect interest in a low-pressure way.
Create your event site
Set up a new event and customize your event page with details, images, and a Save the Date message
Go to Setup > Registration > Advanced
Scroll to Enable/Disable Registration
Uncheck “Registration is Active”
Click Update
This removes the “Register” button from your site and navigation, so guests can view your page without signing up yet.
Optional: Add a contact form or email link if you’d still like to collect early interest or questions
When you're ready to open registration, just add a registration button to your site and make sure to check “Registration is Active" (under Setup > Registration > Advanced)
📝 Option 2: Use One Website — Switch to Ticketed Later
Want to collect early RSVPs and later sell tickets on the same page?
Start with Simple Registration
Collect interest via a basic RSVP form
Switch to Ticketed Registration when ready
Go to Setup > Registration > Type, change to Ticketed
Allow repeat registrations
Go to Setup > Registration > Advanced
Uncheck “My attendees cannot register more than once”
This ensures pre-registered guests can register again to purchase tickets
🔁 Option 3: Use Two Separate Websites
Prefer to keep your interest list and paid registration separate?
Create Website #1 — Use Simple Registration to collect early RSVPs
Duplicate your event when tickets are ready and set up Website #2 with Ticketed Registration
💡 Note: You’ll need the Pro plan or higher to have multiple events live at the same time. See plan details →
