Event RSVP Form template
Confirm attendance, guest count, and practical event needs. Copy the accessible markup, adjust the fields, and publish it with Core Forms.
What your visitor sees
Plain semantic HTML rendered through the same default form theme Core Forms applies on the front-end. Try it — this demo confirms inline and sends nothing.
Demo only. On your site, the same markup wires into the normal Core Forms action loop — email, Slack, Google Sheets, webhook, whatever you configure.
The HTML behind it
Copy this block, paste into Core Forms → Add New Form → Fields tab, save. Field names map to merge tags automatically in your action templates.
<p><label for="rv-name">Name</label><input id="rv-name" name="NAME" type="text" autocomplete="name" required aria-required="true"></p>
<p><label for="rv-email">Email</label><input id="rv-email" name="EMAIL" type="email" autocomplete="email" required aria-required="true"></p>
<fieldset><legend>Will you attend?</legend><label><input name="ATTENDING" type="radio" value="yes" required> Yes</label><label><input name="ATTENDING" type="radio" value="no"> No</label></fieldset>
<p data-show-if="ATTENDING:yes"><label for="rv-guests">Additional guests</label><input id="rv-guests" name="GUESTS" type="number" min="0" max="5" value="0"></p>
<p data-show-if="ATTENDING:yes"><label for="rv-needs">Dietary or accessibility needs <span>(optional)</span></label><textarea id="rv-needs" name="NEEDS" rows="4"></textarea></p>

What this event rsvp form template is for
Use it when you need a reliable headcount and a small amount of attendee information before an event.
This version asks only for information needed to complete that job. Only ask dietary or accessibility questions when someone on the team will act on the answer.
The markup uses explicit labels, useful autocomplete values, and fieldsets for grouped choices. You can edit every line instead of working around a locked template schema.
Every field, and why it's there
| Field | Type | Required | Why it's there |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | text | Yes | Matches the attendee to the guest list. |
email | Yes | Receives event updates. | |
| Attendance | radio group | Yes | Records yes or no clearly. |
| Guest count | number | Optional | Shown only when guests are permitted. |
| Dietary or accessibility needs | textarea | Optional | Collect only if the organizer can accommodate them. |
From this HTML to a working form

- 3
Test the whole path
Submit the form with realistic data. Verify validation, the saved submission, notification email, autoresponder, and any integration action.
Three upgrades worth considering

Keep the first view short and reveal follow-up questions from an earlier answer.
Use conditional logic →Route the submitted data
Send the result to email, a CRM, a spreadsheet, or a signed webhook after validation.
Explore integrations →Check the funnel
Measure starts, successful submissions, and field drop-off after the form has real traffic.
Use form analytics →Event RSVP Form template questions
Is this event rsvp form template free to copy?
Yes. The HTML on this page is free to copy and adapt. Core Forms is required only if you want its WordPress submission handling, inbox, actions, analytics, and other plugin features.
Can I change or remove fields?
Yes. The form is plain HTML. Remove any field you cannot justify, rename fields before collecting data, and keep every label associated with its control.
Does the template save submissions in WordPress?
Core Forms can save successful submissions in its WordPress inbox. Storage is a per-form setting, so you can disable it for forms whose data should not be retained.
Can the form send a confirmation email?
Yes. Add an autoresponder action, map its recipient to the submitted email field, and state what the person should expect next.
How should I test it?
Use realistic valid data, missing required data, a malformed email address, keyboard-only navigation, and a narrow mobile viewport. Also verify every configured action and redirect.
The template is free. The plumbing is the product.
Core Forms turns this HTML into stored submissions, spam-filtered
email, and 30+ integrations. Use
