Gala Dinner RSVP template

A formal RSVP for black-tie galas and fundraising dinners, written in the register your invitations use: "Delighted to attend," entrée selection from a plated menu, dietary notes, and an auction paddle opt-in. Declines are routed politely to the closing page without seeing the dinner questions.

When to use this template

A foundation's annual fundraising gala with a plated three-entrée dinner and a live auction
A university development office running its donor appreciation dinner
An awards ceremony where the caterer needs entrée counts two weeks out
A hospital or museum benefit that assigns tables after RSVPs close and needs guest names captured cleanly

Tips to get more from it

The attendance question carries a jump rule — "Regretfully decline" sends the guest to the ending page, so no one who can't come is asked to pick a filet or a paddle number.
The auction opt-in tells your event team exactly how many paddles to prepare and which guests to seat with bidding sight lines.
The guest-name question's description ("leave blank if attending solo") does the work of a separate plus-one branch in one field.
Entrée counts and dietary restrictions export as CSV in one file for the caterer; the entrée dropdown is fully editable to match your menu.

Questions people ask

Can this form handle table assignments?

It collects the inputs — attendance, guest names, and auction interest — and your team assigns tables afterward. The ending page tells guests assignments will follow, which is the standard gala workflow.

Can I sell gala tickets or take donations in the same form?

Yes, by adding a payment field connected to your own Stripe or PayPal account. Payment fields require the Pro plan ($14.99/mo) to publish, and Zunoform takes no percentage.

Does the form look formal enough for a black-tie event?

The copy is written in a formal register, and the theme editor controls fonts, colors, and background, so you can match your printed invitations closely.
