Attendance/Invitations/Reminders
Event Reminders
The RSVP Pro addon for JEvents Club Gold members allows you to offer event reminders to event attendees, invitees, registered users or users who provide a validated email address. You configure which group or users can request reminders.
You can also setup the addon so that attendees (or all registered users) are auto reminded before events.
You configure the addon to set the lead time before the event that you want the reminder to be sent and a server crontab job/scheduled task sends the messages at the appropriate time.
You can also customise the reminder message that is sent on an event-by-event basis.
Note that the screenshots above feature a new experimental SMS plugin that allows reminders to be sent via SMS. This is a new feature and needs a special plugin to be written for each SMS gateway - if a new gateway is required we may need to charge for the cost of its development.

Event Invitations
The RSVP Pro addon for JEvents Club Gold members allows the event creator/JEvents admin users to send email based invitations to registered users of your site or other people using email addresses.
You see a summary of which invitees have viewed the events and which have accepted or declined the invitation.
You can save lists of invitees to re-use another time. You can invite your JomSocial or Community Builder friends as a group.
You can setup a list of users to autoinvited to each newly created event.
You can make events private to invitees to that non-invitees don't see the event.
The invitation message can be customised on an event by event basis.

Event Attendance
The RSVP Pro addon for JEvents Club Gold members allows the event creator to configure an event so that site visitors/registered users can record their intention to attend.
You can set a limit on the numbers attending and setup a waiting list if required.
You can take payment for attendance using Paypal, Authorize.net, Offline manual payment or Virtuemart.
You can setup complex forms to request specific information about your attendees with support for conditional fields, charges/fees dependent on the choices made by the attendee and different charges for different Joomla user groups.
A demo video of the frontend functionality is available as well as one showing some of the backend management capability - click the "More about this product" link below.
