Start an event

About a minute: the day, what to ask, and your menu if there is one. Guests reply by link.

What are you asking guests?
More about the event (optional)

Guests see it, and it goes in their calendar.

Leave this blank if there's no limit. When the places are taken, later replies are told it's full and put on a waiting list you can let in.

A line about the day — where to come, when to arrive, what to bring. Everyone you invite reads it, so keep it about the event.

Paste the names, one a line, with their emails beside them if you have them. Replies are then told from invitations, and the people who haven't said are named. Nothing is ever sent to anyone on it. You can add to it or change it later under Settings.

What to ask guests

Guests are only asked about what you turn on. Turn everything off for a plain RSVP.

Guests will be asked what they need to get in and take part; you'll see it on your board and can sort it out with them. What they tell you is health and disability information — they agree before sharing it, only you can see it, and they're never asked why.

Already know what your venue can do? Say so, and guests see it early
What can you provide?

Add the ones you're sure of — guests see them when they pick. Anything you don't add just shows as “not confirmed”, and they can still tell you about it either way.

If it works but there's a knack to it, say so — every guest who picks this one sees it. About the place, not about a person: please don't name anyone.

Can you provide it, or would you arrange it?
Before you create an event — a few things to know

OffUrPlate collects your guests' food, drink and access needs so you can cater for them and they can take part. A few things to know — they matter because this is health information about other people.

  • Your private link is yours alone. Anyone who has it can see every guest's answer. Don't forward it, post it, or share your screen showing it. If it gets out, create a fresh event and delete this one.
  • Once you copy something out, it's yours to look after. If you save the summary, screenshot the list, or paste it into a shopping list or a caterer's form, that copy is outside OffUrPlate and we can't reach it — including if a guest later asks us to delete their answer. Keep those copies safe and delete them when the event's done.
  • Everything is deleted 14 days after the event. You don't have to do anything. You can delete it sooner from the event's settings.
  • OffUrPlate passes on what your guests tell you. It does not make food safe. For a severe allergy, speak to the guest directly — a form is not a substitute for a conversation.
  • If you give us the names of the people you invited, that list is yours, and we hold it for you. Give us only the names of people you have a right to invite; where someone asks, tell them OffUrPlate holds their name for your event; remove anyone who asks you to. We keep an email only as a hash that cannot be read back, we never write to anyone on the list, we do nothing with it but what you ask, and it is deleted with the event.

Creating an event means you understand your responsibilities as a host.
