Date and guests
-
We’re planning a corporate party. What date suits you best?
Why ask it. Collects the date each person prefers. The day most of the team can make wins.
-
Which timing is best for you?
Why ask it. People tick every slot that works. The most-ticked slot is your time.
-
How many guests would you like to bring?
Why ask it. Adds guests to the head count you give the venue and the caterer. People who come alone skip the next question.
-
Who are your guests?
Why ask it. Tells you whether to plan for children and families. Only people who bring guests see it.
Program
-
What kind of entertainment do you prefer?
Why ask it. Shows which acts to book first. The Other field collects ideas that are not on the list.

What kinds of team building activities do you want to do?
Why ask it. Ideas in people’s own words for the part of the event the team does together.
-
What kind of music do you prefer?
Why ask it. A brief for the band or the DJ.

What cuisine do you prefer?
Why ask it. Narrows the menu to the cuisines most people pick, before you ask caterers for quotes.
-
Do you want to take part in a talent show? What is your talent?
Why ask it. Finds performers for the talent show. The survey asks for no name, so ask volunteers to sign their answer or add a name question.
