Adding guests later or changing existing ones
Hello,
We frequently have members who register themselves and then at a later date, decide to add a guest. However, there is no easy way for them to do this that I'm aware of. I would love for our members to be able to sign in, view their registration, and then be able to "Add Guest" from there.
Thanks!
UPDATE FROM PRODUCT MANAGER: I decided to expand this suggestion to also changing existing guest list as well, like removing some of existing guests or changing their names.

Why does it take so long to implement requests that obviously have a high demand from the Admin/User community?

I'll add my name to the list of those asking for this. A contact (member or not) should be able to register him/herself for an event and later add one or more guests without re-registering him/herself.
If this is currently possible, point me to the instructions in the help.
Then, it would be nice for a contact to be able to register one or more guests for an event even though the contact doesn't register him/herself, e.g. will be out of town that day. -

Registering a guest from the online payment. When a member has already registered for an event and then goes in later to add a guest, the system adds the member and the guest to the total amount due. The member is then required to call an admin to reserve an additional guest which then creates an invoice that the member then can go online to pay. Please fix the double entry at the member level so that the payment for the guest(s) can be paid without charging the member again for reservation that is already made and paid for.

Would love to be able to set two times for registration for an event. We have popular, limited seating events that we want to make available to members first, then after a period of time, to guests. Right now, if we do this, the member goes back in to register their guests and ends up registering twice, and then we have to refund the money.

Please move this wishlist request up. Several of my Wild Apricot clients have requested this feature and are considering moving off of Wild Apricot because it has not been implemented.

This feature has been on the wish list for a number of years, isn’t it about time it was addressed.

Adding Guests to completed registrations.
The only time that a member can add guests to their registraion is the first time that they register. It wolud be great to be able to add them later. Our current workaround has been to use the multiple registrations option but, if you have different pricing for guests it doesnt work. -

I am overall happy with wild apricot as a platform, but concerned that there are a number of issues raised where with a lot of interest from the user community, but where nothing has happened even though the issue was raised many years ago (almost 10 years in this case).

One of the main shortcomings of the WA site is that a member may not edit his guests after having registered and paid . This difficulty was first reported back in 2011, with many requests from users over the intervening years. How about bringing this up to the top of the list

It is a frequently expressed frustration of our membership who complete their registration for and event and later want to add guests and can't figure out how (because they can't!) This is one of the things that is having some members ask why we con't use Eventbrite instead (I know all the reasons!) Would appreciate attention to this as soon as possible.

My users sometimes need to change a registration to change their "Add Guest" answer, for instance if they plan to attend solo, and want to cancel the guest. The only way to do this is to cancel the entire registration, and then re-register for just one person

Getting constant questions about how to add a guest from frustrated members (guests are how we build membership, as guests often become members) is becoming a major issue. I can see that this topic dates back to 2012 - with a lot of activity. Would be great to learn if y'all will be addressing this within the next decade, or hopefully sooner. Any update at all would be appreciated. :)

WA needs to address this need for users. The ability to book tables with multiple names is a basic need of any event planner and should be a part of the registration process. Currently we need to do a work around which is not efficient nor easy.

Our events regularly offer Tables of 10" members want to register early but aren't sure who will be sitting with them. It causes huge headache when they can't update their own listof names as sometimes we get multiple people calling about the same information. Would be great if they could simply log in and add the respective names :) Waiting in anticipation :) THANKS !

Any update on this? I have several organizations that would like the ability for members to add guests to their event registration after they have registered themselves for an event.

Our club would also be in favor of a way for members to add a guest to their registration. Thank you! Kay DuBois

If this is possible, I can't find it. Members don't seem to be able to edit their own registrations, i.e., add guests. They should be able to do that.

Would appreciate your fixing this.

Not being able to edit a registration to add or amend a guest is a real pain for our members. Especially if we have members only registration and a non member guest needs registering.

Please enhance the check out page that there is an edit feature in case a user forgets something (like adding a guest).
Thanks!
