3. Update your form title to reflect your birthday party details.
4. Add a form description under your form title.

5. Add your questions by clicking the “+” symbol on the floating right-side menu. Questions could include whether invitees plan to attend, how many guests they will bring, or whether they plan to bring a dish to pass.

6. Once you’ve drafted your questions, customize your birthday party RSVP formby clicking the Customize Theme button in the top menu. Customization options include uploading a header and updating your form’s font or color.

7. Update your settings by clicking the Settings menu in the top middle of the page. Consider toggling email collection, response editing, limiting to one response, and more, depending on your preferences.
