Save Time with Question Templates: Pre-Built Questions for Common Events

Every wedding asks about dietary restrictions. Every corporate event needs to know about parking. Every party wants song requests.

Why write these questions from scratch every time?

JoinMyEvent's question templates give you pre-configured, professionally-worded questions ready to add with a single click.

What Are Question Templates?

Question templates are pre-built custom questions designed for common event scenarios. Instead of typing out "Do you have any dietary restrictions? (Options: None, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free...)" - you click one button and it's done.

Each template includes:

• Well-written question text - Clear, concise, professional
• Appropriate answer type - Text, yes/no, or select options
• Common options pre-filled - Standard choices people expect
• Sensible defaults - Per-person vs per-party already configured

Template Tips

Combine Multiple Templates

Need dietary info AND transportation? Add both templates. They work together seamlessly.

Customize After Adding

Don't see exactly the options you need? Add the closest template, then edit. It's faster than starting from zero.

Check Per-Person Settings

Templates have sensible defaults, but verify they match your needs. A wedding might want meal choices per-person; a casual party might not.

Remove Unnecessary Options

If your event is vegetarian-only, remove the meat options from dietary templates. Guests see only what's relevant.
