An RSVP is an individual’s response to an event invitation confirming whether or not they will attend. A complete collection of RSVPs helps an event organizer plan ahead for an event.

You can create an RSVP link in seconds with Jotform’s RSVP tool! After deciding whether you want to create an RSVP form or app, simply choose the RSVP template that works best for you.

The form or app will generate a link for you in the Publish tab, so you can forward it instantly.

RSVPs are used to let hosts of an event know whether invitees are attending. RSVPs are commonly used for wedding invitations, conferences, bookings, birthday invitations, appointments, reservations, and much more. Whether the event is taking place in person or digitally, you should use an RSVP app or form to track how many individuals will be in attendance so you can be as prepared for your event as possible.

With Jotform, you can generate an RSVP link in seconds. Once you’re done customizing your RSVP form or app, go to the Publish tab where you’ll find an auto-generated link waiting for you. That’s it! Share your link with ease.

RSVP is short for, “Répondez s’il vous plaît,” which directly translates to “Respond, if you please.” This term has become shorthand to indicate that the individual sending an invitation would like invitees to respond so that they can confirm overall attendance. This is especially important for large events like weddings, where planners need to know how much food and drink to order, tables to set up, etc.

The best format for an RSVP is generally a short form that your invitees can respond to with ease. Since people can get distracted easily, the shorter, the better when it comes to RSVPs.

The great thing about RSVPs is that you can keep them short and sweet. Some forms may just have one box that invitees can check to signal whether they’re attending or not. You can also include fields to collect the invitee’s name, address, phone number, email, etc. If you want to collect reasons why an invitee cannot attend, include a text box where they can provide an explanation.

Yes. You can create RSVPs for as many events as you need to. Jotform offers templates for all kinds of RSVPs, from event invitations to business meetings to beauty appointments. If you need to create a second RSVP for the same event, you can do that too!

RSVPs are hugely beneficial in the event-planning process, because they help planners know how many people will attend. This allows them to adjust for factors like space, food, accommodations, speakers, and more. If you were expecting 100 people to show up and instead you got 1,000, you wouldn’t be prepared to host the event — hence why sending out an RSVP form is so important.

In some cases, guests can update their information after RSVPing. The RSVP form may have an option that allows attendees to change their answer on the spot. If not, they might need to reach out to the organizer to explain that they will no longer be able to attend. This is entirely dependent on the RSVP form that was used.

If you use an RSVP form from Jotform, every respondent’s information is kept safe and secure. Jotform uses a 256-bit SSL connection, offers encryption features, and has PCI certification.

In Jotform’s form builder, you can set up an autoresponder email that invitees will receive once they have submitted their RSVP. Go to Settings at the top of the page and select Emails on the left. From there, you can create an autoresponder email and customize it to your liking. You can also set up reminder emails to encourage invitees to respond after a certain period of time has elapsed.
