Free RSVP Form and RSVP Link
A sample form, wording, and a free online version
An RSVP form asks guests whether they are coming, how many people, and anything you need to plan, like meals. Here is a sample form you can copy, wording for different events, and how to turn it into a free RSVP link guests answer from their phone without an account.

Sample RSVP form
On SignupKit, attendance works best as the choices guests pick (Yes, No, Maybe), with name and email built in. The free plan includes 1 custom question, so combine meal and dietary needs into one ("Meal choice and any allergies?"); paid plans add more.
| Question | Answer type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Your name | Short text | Jordan Lee |
| Will you attend? | Choice | Yes / No / Maybe |
| How many people, including you? | Number | 2 |
| Meal choice | Choice | Chicken / Fish / Vegetarian |
| Dietary needs or allergies | Short text | Nut allergy |
| Email, for updates | jordan@example.com |
RSVP form wording by event
| Event | Wording at the top of the form |
|---|---|
| Wedding | "Kindly reply by May 1. We have reserved __ seats in your honor." |
| Birthday party | "Can you make it to Leo's 7th? Let us know by Friday so we order enough pizza." |
| Work event | "Please RSVP by the 10th so we can confirm catering numbers." |
