Collect RSVPs and sign-ups

RSVPs

1. Start from the Party RSVP template or create a Yes / No question: “Are you coming?”
2. Add a Number question for the number of guests and a Short text question for dietary needs. With conditional logic, only guests who answer Yes see them.
3. Ask for a name with a Contact info or Short text question, so you know who replied.
4. Turn on Allow changing responses so guests can update their answer.
5. Under Open & close dates in the Settings tab, set a close date a few days before the event.

Sign-up sheets

For a potluck, a carpool or anything else that works like a paper list, start from the Potluck sign-up template or add a Sign-up sheet question:

1. Name your columns, such as “Dish” and “Serves”. The first column always asks for the person’s name.
2. Click Required on a column to make it optional.
3. Share the link. Each person adds one row and sees everyone who signed up before them.

Rows are visible to anyone who can open the poll, whatever the results setting. Turn off Show entries to everyone in the question’s settings to keep them to yourself.

Sign-ups with limited places

For volunteer shifts, workshop seats or a set list of dishes, use a Multiple choice question with one option per slot or dish. In its settings, under Options, turn on Limit votes per option and set how many people each option takes. Once an option is full, nobody else can pick it, so nobody brings the fifth salad.

Stay in the loop

Turn on email notifications to get an email for each new RSVP, and send guests a confirmation of their answer.
