Guest list rules: arrival cutoffs, dress code and house rules

Guest list rules tell guests what the door expects before they set out: when to arrive, what to wear and how the venue runs its list.

Where to set them

  1. Open your event and go to Guest-list settings.
  2. Scroll to Guest list rules.

Arrival cutoffs

You can set separate arrive-by times for women and for men. These are arrival cutoffs, not a signup deadline — the RSVP deadline elsewhere in your settings controls when signups close.

Each cutoff has a Remove button if you want to clear it again.

When door staff scan a guest after their category's cutoff, the scanner shows a red past cutoff warning. Check-in is still possible — the warning just makes letting a late guest in a deliberate choice rather than an accident.

Dress code and house rules

  • Dress code — a short line, up to 160 characters.
  • House rules — up to 400 characters for anything else guests should know.

Where guests see the rules

The rules display automatically — you do not need to copy them anywhere:

  • on the public event page, above the join form;
  • in each guest's confirmation email;
  • on the event page promoters see, so they can brief their guests.
