Questions worth asking

What’s your name?
Short textRequired
So you can greet people properly, and spot a familiar face on the list.
Where should we send the details?
EmailRequired
The time, the place or the link has to reach them somehow.
How will you be joining?
Multiple choiceRequired
Chairs in a room and links on a screen need different planning, so ask early.
Tell us a little more
Long textOptional
Shown only to people who are still deciding, so you can answer what’s holding them back.
How many people are you bringing?
NumberOptional
A number, not a guess in a sentence, adds up neatly when you count the room.
Is there anything that would make the day easier for you?
Long textOptional
Access, food, a quiet corner: an open question lets people say what they need in their own words.

How the form reads

Picture someone who has just seen your invitation. They give a name and email, then say how they’ll join. If they’re coming in person or online, they can move straight on to how many people they’re bringing. If they’re still deciding, a box opens and they can tell you what’s holding them back.

That answer is gold. Someone unsure about the journey might come if you send directions, and someone unsure about the timing might come if you tell them they can arrive late. You’ll count the room more easily too, because the number of guests is a number, not a sentence.

A follow-up that helps

Show “Tell us a little more” when “How will you be joining?” is “Still deciding”. People who already know how they’re coming go straight on to the next question.

Open the form yourself before you share it. Pick Still deciding and check the box appears, then switch to In person and check it disappears. Try it on one page and one question at a time, too; the rule works the same on both.

Keep it kind

Say why you’re asking about access and food. People share more when they know it’s to help them, and it tells everyone the day is planned with them in mind.
Ask for a phone number only if you’ll really call on the day. Every extra detail is one more thing to look after.
