Movie night RSVP

A head count, and what to watch.

A movie night RSVP that tells you how many are coming and what they'd like to watch, so you know how many chairs and how much popcorn. People answer yes, no or maybe from their phone, and nobody signs up for anything.

What helps

  • Put the film in the description once you've chosen, so latecomers know what they're coming to.
  • Set “Total room for” to the number of seats, and “Yes” closes when the couch is full.
  • For an outdoor screening, put a rain date in the description.
  • Anyone who says yes or maybe and leaves an email is reminded the day before, so you don't have to text everyone.
