Learn how to create a date selector RSVP question where guests pick a date from a calendar (Standard or Pro plan).
​

Date selector questions let guests choose a date using a calendar picker. They're useful when you need to know arrival dates, departure dates, or any other date-specific information from your guests.
​

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan
​

When to use a date selector

Use a date selector when you need guests to provide a specific date:
​

  • Arrival date - "What date will you be arriving?"

  • Check-in date - "When are you checking in?"

  • Departure date - "What date are you leaving?"

Date selectors are ideal for destination weddings or multi-day celebrations where guests arrive and depart on different days.
​

How it appears to guests

Guests see your question with a text field that opens a calendar picker when clicked. They can browse through months and select a specific date. The selected date appears in the text field.
​

Setting up a date selector question

  1. Go to RSVP > Questions

  2. Click Add new question

  3. Select Date selector as the type

  4. Enter your question title

  5. Configure additional settings

  6. Click Add question

Configuration options

Description - Add optional helper text below the question. For arrival dates, you might add "The venue is available from Friday June 12th" to help guests plan.
​

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

Per household or per guest - Ask once per household or once per individual guest. Arrival and departure dates usually work well per household since families tend to travel together.
​

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

Tips

Give context about dates. Use the description to mention key dates, like when the venue is available or when welcome events start.
​

Great for destination weddings. If you're planning events around the main ceremony, knowing when guests arrive helps you plan welcome dinners, group activities, and farewell brunches.
​

Pair with other questions. Ask for arrival date alongside an accommodation question to get a complete picture of guest travel plans.
