What is a private event, and who can see it on my website?

When you create an event you can choose to make it "Private" or "Public."

"Public" events will be visible to all guests on your Schedule page.

"Private" events will be hidden from all guests on your Schedule page. However, any invited guests (guests you set as "Definitely Invited" to that event in your guest list) will be able to see the event and its details on the RSVP page of your website after searching their names.

We do not currently have an option to show events to select guests on the Schedule page.
