Create a Sign Up or RSVP Form

Start at grow.withlome.com/create. The flow walks you through it and you can go Back at any point without losing what you have done.

The steps

1. Pick a theme. Browse, or type what the event is — "school volunteers" — and Lome will suggest some. It can also build the whole thing for you from that description.

2. Choose your dates. A single date or several. You can set a start time.

3. Say what people are signing up for. Lome suggests items based on your event name; keep the ones you want, edit them, add your own, or ask it to suggest more. Each item can have an emoji and a number of people needed.

At the top of this step is a choice that matters: Items, Timeslots, or Items with Timeslots — jobs, appointment times, or jobs each with their own times. See Time Slots. It is easier to pick now than to change later.

4. Decide whether to collect RSVPs as well as sign-ups.

5. Write the description that appears at the top of your form, or have it written for you and edit the result.

6. Choose the design. Pick a theme, change the cover, or let Lome choose.

7. Add the extras — a location, custom questions, email and text reminders, a payment button, or put the form in a community.

8. Finish. Your form is live.

Afterwards

Edit changes anything. Results shows who signed up. Share gives you a link, email and text invitations, your address book, and a QR code or printable flyer.

Do guests need a Lome account?

No. They enter their name and email, choose a slot, and they are done.

After signing up they are offered a free account to manage their responses, but it is optional and they can ignore it.

(If you are on the Customize tier, have your form in a community and have turned Lome branding off, that offer is hidden too.)

Naming your items

There is no rule against two items sharing a name, but it makes your results list hard to read. Where two slots are genuinely different, say so in the name:

  • "Registration Table — Main Entrance" and "Registration Table — Side Door"
  • "Kindergarten Helper" and "1st Grade Helper"
  • "Parking Volunteer #1" and "Parking Volunteer #2"

Showing how many have signed up

You can display participant names or counts on the form, which tends to encourage people. See Display Participants On Your Form.
