What to include
- Ask for the attending party size.
- Make nonessential preferences optional.
- Explain why any required answer is needed.
An example you can adapt
Illustrative wording. Replace the sample details with your own.
Please let us know how many adults and children will attend the birthday gathering. If you have a practical food requirement you would like us to consider, add it in the optional answer. We will confirm arrangements directly where needed.
Put the plan into practice
A clear private invitation explains the occasion, the guest’s next step, and what the host needs to prepare. Keep the invitation link within the intended circle. Set required or optional RSVP questions according to the information you actually need, then review replies before making arrangements.
- Create a Private Invite with the occasion and capacity.
- Add relevant RSVP questions and share the link with intended guests.
- Review guest answers, capacity, and any waitlist before finalizing the plan.
An RSVP answer records a request. Follow up before promising that a dietary or access need can be accommodated.
A practical question
Should every birthday RSVP question be required?
Require only what you need to plan attendance; optional preferences can remain optional.
Where IndiAdda fits
Private Invites are separate from the public events feed. Shared HTTPS links open in the app when installed and have a browser fallback. Examples describe invitation wording, not catering, ticketing, or venue-booking services.
