# Creating RSVP Forms

RSVP forms allow you to collect guest responses, registrations, and custom information directly from your attendees. Whether you need a simple confirmation form or a detailed registration page with multiple fields, Check-in Pax makes it easy.

### What is an RSVP form?

An RSVP form is a web page where guests can:

-   Confirm or decline their attendance
-   Provide additional information (meal preferences, T-shirt sizes, etc.)
-   Update their guest profile

When a guest submits the form, their guest status is automatically updated (e.g., from "Unconfirmed" to "Confirmed"), and you can send an automated confirmation email with their QR code.

### How to create a new RSVP form

1.  Go to **Manage Templates** → **RSVP Forms**.
2.  Click **Create New Form**.
3.  Enter a **Form Name** (e.g., "Annual Conference Registration" or "Product Launch RSVP").
4.  Select **Public** or **Private** access:
5.  -   **Public** – Anyone with the link can access and submit the form
    -   **Private** – Only guests who are on your guest list can access (see [Using private RSVP form links](https://))
6.  Choose a **Guest List** that the form is linked to.
7.  -   **New responses will be added to this list.**
    -   **Note:** You can only link one guest list to a public form.
8.  Customize the form URL if available:
9.  -   Your form will be available at `rsvp-me.to/your-custom-slug`
    -   Enter your preferred slug (e.g., `annual-conference-2030`)
    -   If the slug is already taken, choose another one
10.  Click **Create**.

Your new form is now created and ready to be designed.
