Learn how to create a short text RSVP question where guests type a brief answer in a single-line text field (Standard or Pro plan).

Short text questions give guests a simple text field to type a brief answer. They're perfect for open-ended questions that need just a few words.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Use short text when you want a brief, open-ended answer:

Short text works best when the answer is a word or short phrase. For longer responses like messages or advice, use long text instead.

Guests see your question with a single-line text field below it. They can type their answer directly into the field. There's no character limit, but the field is designed for brief responses.

Description - Add optional helper text below the question. For example, "We'd love to add your favorite songs to our playlist!" gives guests context for a song request.

Required - Set whether guests must answer before submitting their RSVP.

Per household or per guest - Ask once per household or once per individual guest. Song requests work well per guest, while accommodation questions might work better per household.

Link to event - Link this question to a specific event if it only applies to certain guests.

Make the question specific. "Any song requests?" is clearer than "Anything you'd like to share?" Specific questions get better answers.

Use the description for context. If you're asking about accommodation, you could add "We have room blocks at the Grand Hotel and Seaside Inn" in the description.

Keep it optional when possible. Not every guest will have a song request or suggestion. Making it optional reduces friction.
