Baby shower RSVP form
A baby shower RSVP answers one question: who is coming. This form asks the yes-or-no first so someone can reply in one tap if they are busy, and only then adds the details that make a party work — headcount, plus ones, dietary notes. The form closes when you have enough guests, which protects anyone replying late from showing up to a full party they cannot join.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
Radio buttons force clarity over empty fields
A yes/no as radio buttons cannot be left blank or ambiguous — every response is a real answer, not a checkbox someone forgot to tick. That distinction is why "who is coming" stays countable without reading each reply.
Every RSVP arrives timestamped, so "first to reply" is a fact
Replies are recorded to the millisecond, which matters because gift-opening order or potluck dishes can go to whoever replied early. The timestamps settle questions about who committed first.
No card required.

Live previewHow to build this form
5 steps in the editor. Nothing here needs a paid plan.
- Add a text field for the guest's name and an email field so you can reach them if plans change.
- Add a radio group with yes and no as the two options, marking it required so every reply is clear.
- Add a number field for guest count (including the RSVP themselves), left optional for a quick yes.
- Add an optional text field for dietary restrictions and an optional text field for what they plan to bring if potluck-style.
- Set a response cap in Settings once you have headcount, then export the guest list to CSV.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a baby shower rsvp form, not general advice about forms.
Asking for the plus-one count before the yes/no
Put attendance first and everything else optional after it. A guest declining should answer in one tap; asking how many people are coming before asking whether they are coming is the most common reason an RSVP gets abandoned.
Letting text fields mix your answer types
Attendance is a radio, not a text box. A dropdown captures a specific yes/no, preventing "yes!", "we'd love to", "maybe" from landing in the same column and refusing to add up.
Setting the capacity too late
Set the response limit when you build the form, not after registrations overflow. A limit added late leaves you unpicking the overshoot by hand — timestamps make it resolvable, but it is work you did not need to do.
Questions about this form
How do I track who is bringing what to my baby shower?
Add an optional text field asking what the guest plans to bring, left optional so guests are not forced to commit to a dish. Export to CSV and the "bringing" column shows you at a glance who has a dish covered, which is simpler than reading replies one at a time.
Can I cap the number of guests at my baby shower?
Yes. Set "Stop after this many responses" in Settings and the form closes itself once you have that headcount. The RSVP that reaches the limit is accepted and the next is refused, enforced when submitted rather than in the browser — it holds regardless of how the link travels.
Do guests need an account to RSVP?
No — anyone with the form link can reply without signing up. Only the person who built the form needs a Seagit account. A password in settings makes the form private if you only want to share it with invited guests.
