Reading your guests' dietary needs, allergies and wishes

Where to find everything from the sign-up form that you need for the caterer, the hotel and the DJ.

Written by Max Weber

Vegetarian, gluten free, three children, one room and please, please this one song: everything your guests fill in in the sign-up form ends up collected in their profile. That is where you pick it up when the caterer, the hotel or the DJ asks you for numbers.

Where the replies live

In your dashboard open Gäste (guests), click the guest's name and look at the card „RSVP-Antworten" (RSVP replies). Above it you also see when they replied. If someone has not answered yet, you read „Noch keine RSVP-Antwort erhalten." (no RSVP reply received yet).

Which details you find

Only the questions you switched on in the editor and that your guest actually answered will show up:

  • Wirst du dabei sein? (will you be there?) with „Ja, ich komme gerne! 🎉", „Leider kann ich nicht kommen" or „Vielleicht"

  • Begleitung (companion)

  • Ernährungswünsche (dietary needs)

  • Allergien oder Unverträglichkeiten (allergies or intolerances)

  • Übernachtung gewünscht? (would you like a room?)

  • Shuttle benötigt? (do you need a shuttle?)

  • Liedwünsche für die Party (song requests for the party)

  • Kinder (children), with the number and, if given, the names

  • Möchtest du etwas ausrichten? (would you like to leave a message?) with your guest's personal note

Switching the questions on in the editor first

You decide yourself which fields your form shows at all. In the editor you will find this in the settings of the section Anmeldung (sign-up), where you get toggles such as „Begleitung abfragen" (ask about a companion), „Kinder abfragen" (ask about children), „Allergien abfragen" (ask about allergies) and „Shuttle abfragen" (ask about the shuttle). It is best to ask only for what you really need, because short forms get filled in far more often.

Good to know: Think about these toggles early. Anyone who has already replied will not be asked a second time. If you switch on „Allergien abfragen" late, the detail will be missing from every reply you have received so far.

Collecting it all for the caterer

Dietary needs and allergies sit with each individual guest. You can still get them all together for the caterer: click „Exportieren" (export) in your guest list. In the file gaesteliste.csv every person has a row of their own, and every question from your form has a column of its own, so dietary needs and allergies are in there too. Filter the status column by „Zugesagt" (accepted) and you see at a glance what the people who are coming need. If you pass the file on to your caterer or anyone else, delete the columns „Einladungscode" (invitation code) and „Einladungslink" (invitation link) first, so that nobody can reply in someone else's name. Personal messages and the number of people are also collected for you on the page Rückmeldungen (replies).

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a reply for a guest myself?
The reply cannot be edited in the profile. If someone tells you their wishes on the phone, write them into that guest's internal notes, then you have everything safely in one place.

I do not see replies from anyone.
Replies can only come in once your page is published and your guests have the link. While you are still designing, the card stays empty.
