For Group Organizers

To create an event, you'll need to be an approved organizer. Once approved, click the "Create Event" button in the navigation bar. Fill out the event details including title, date, location, and any specific requirements. You can also set capacity limits and add custom questions for attendees.

No, you can only post events for the state in which the event is physically located in, in the instance that the state is for the same state as the FURsvp instance. This restriction helps ensure:

  • Better local event management
  • Compliance with state-specific regulations

  • Proper verification of event details

Important: Attempting to post events for states other than where your event is located may result in account suspension or termination and / or removal of your event.

Once your event is created, you can manage it from your profile page. You can view RSVPs, send messages to attendees, update event details, and cancel or reschedule if needed. You can also assign assistants to help manage the event.

  1. Go to your profile
  2. Click on the "Manage Assistants" button
  3. Use the search field to find users by name or username
  4. Click "Add" next to the user you want to assign

Assistants can help you:

Note: You can remove assistants at any time from the same management page.

For Attendees
