On the next screen, you will see the option to add an RSVP Event Central. To include it, check the “Yes, I would like to use Smilebox Event Central” box (shown below) and click on “Continue”.
In the “Add RSVP Info for your Event” page (refer below) you can fill the following fields:
Event Name, Date, Host Name, Location Name, Address, City, State/Prov., Zip. You can either leave the default note or modify the message to meet your personal needs. Don’t forget to click “Continue” after entering the details.
On your next screen Send your Personalized Creation (refer below) you can enter your recipients' email addresses and other send information.
We do not recommend adding more than 200 recipients in one send.
To ensure the guests' name appears on the list, the following format must be shown in the "To" box:
"Guest 1" <email@address.com>, "Guest 2" <email@address.com>
This format is automatically applied if you are adding a recipient from your Address List with a Name added. If the email addresses are included only, the guest list will show only email addresses.
Please make sure to add a comma in between the email addresses. 
In order to perform the functions listed below, you need to open your “Event Central Page”.
2) View RSVP responses and comments

8) Sender's ability to click on “Yes” or “Maybe” or “No” when creation is sent to your own email address
When you send the invitation to our own email address, the ability to click “Yes” or “Maybe” or “No” is possible only if you open the creation from the email you received.
Response buttons will NOT be active (greyed out) if you open the creation from “My Creations” tab or from My Account Page - http://my.smilebox.com
9) How to RSVP to an invitation
When you receive an invitation email you can either click on “CLICK TO OPEN INVITATION & RSVP” or the Envelop (refer below).
You can wait for the creation to finish playing to the end or not. Select “RSVP to This Event” (refer below) located at the right corner.

10) Add a Comment
You can easily add a comment to your invitation after sending the creation.
11) Will I be able to display names? How is the email displayed in the Event Central Page
There are two ways to ensure the name is displayed, rather than the email address. When first sending the invite, if a recipient is added from your Address List with their Name and Email entered, these will both be displayed.
If you are adding recipients after the fact, you can type the following format to make sure the name is displayed:
"Guest 1" <email@address.com>, "Guest 2" <email@address.com>
If the email address is formatted this way, the name will appear rather than only the email address (shown below).
Please note: Once the invite has been sent, it is not possible to edit or delete email addresses from the guest list.
12) Whom you've sent and who has viewed your invitation
If you want to know who you've sent and who has viewed your invitation, it works the same as any other Smilebox creation.
This feature will work only if you have shared your creation directly using Smilebox program (not forwarded your email confirmation copy or when you send your creation link).
Please refer to our article: How to check sent creation details (send date, recipients, views and more)
Please Note:
If you just wanted to know to whom you have sent the creation, you can also playback the shared creation from http://my.smilebox.com and view it in the Event Central Page. The names will show up on the left side.
13) Recipient not seeing the RSVP buttons “Yes” or “Maybe” or “No” (greyed out)
If the sender uses the Smilebox program to send you an invitation, then you will be able to see the RSVP buttons “Yes” or “Maybe” or “No”.
If the sender forward the "Confirmation Copy Email" of his creation or link to the Smilebox creation then buttons “Yes” or “Maybe” or “No will not work for you. It will be greyed out. The only choice you have is to make a comment. Please refer to our topic on Add a comment in this article.
14) Save/download a shared invitation
This feature comes handy if you are changing computers or want to open/edit your Smilebox invitation on another computer. Playback your shared Smilebox invitation from http://my.smilebox.com under Share Activity (see below) or from the email confirmation copy you received in your inbox.
Click on "Save" (see below), then choose Download to begin downloading the creation.
