Invite waitlisted people without public reopening

Open Events → Events → select your event → Waitlist.

Use the event waitlist’s Invite action for selected entries, with the intended guest count and invitation expiration, while maintaining the configured waitlist/capacity conditions. Do not simply raise overall capacity and assume the event stays closed to everyone else. Pending unexpired waitlist reservations and sold-out trigger ticket types affect public mode; verify the public page and invitation availability together before sending.
