How do I RSVP to an event?

When new invitations are sent to BSOS members they are notified of the invitation via email. To view and respond to the invitation log in at BostonSOS.org and select View Invitations from the menu on the left. The event will be listed followed by a link for the invitation. Select the event title for event details or select the smaller invitation link below the event title to RSVP. After you open the invitation (important- you must click on the invitation link, not the event title) you can notify whether you are attending or not from the drop down menu that appears. Simply select "Attending", "Might Attend", or "Not Attending" from the list. After you select your status click "Reply" below that. That's it! The page will reload with a thank you response if it went through successfully.

If it is an open-invite event you may also include the email addresses of your friends to whom you wish to receive the invitation as well. If it is not an open-invite event this option will not appear. Open-invite events often have their own event pages on Facebook and MySpace as well. Events scheduled strictly for BSOS members will only appear on this site and crucial event related info is only made available to members who RSVP'd to their invitation.

Many events will send out their last invitations a few days before the event date- so if you recently registered on the site and an event is right around the corner you may not get one at all- but no worries as there's always another on the horizon! Information on meet-up locations are sent out about 24 hours prior to the event- so if you take too long to RSVP as attending you might miss the attendee-only email even though you RSVP'd.
