How do I remove an Evite comment?

How can I change/remove a comment I made on an Evite invitation?

I just RSVPed to someone's Evite invitation and in my response I commented on a past party. After replying, I realized that maybe not everyone on the guest list for the current party knew about/were invited to the previous party. Oops! I went it to change my RSVP in order to remove the comment, but my comment still shows up on the feed. Is there any way to remove it?

So the "Change Reply" link didn't overwrite your old response? May have to contact the host; they should have the ability to edit/delete responses (at least they used to; I assume this hasn't changed).

Response by poster: The change reply button gives you the ability to change your RSVP status and add a NEW comment but not edit the old one. As far as I can tell there's no way to delete old comments - you can only add new comments to the thread.

If you change your reply, does that delete the comment associated with the original reply? (I assume you can change it back once you've edited the comment.)

Response by poster: Nope, that's what I tried first. . .and it just adds another line to the "feed" for the Evite, above (not in place of) your older comment.

Email the party organizer? Maybe they have admin-like powers to remove the comment? (Assuming they were at the last party and know the circumstance as to why you would want to delete it)
