Quick answer
Confirm cover numbers, table grouping and per-guest menu choices with dietary notes for the kitchen. A free wedding banquet headcount form.
A banquet kitchen needs a cover count by menu, not a guest list. This form collects who is coming, which menu each guest chose, allergies and table grouping, so catering orders, place cards and the seating sketch come from the same record.
The Wedding Banquet Headcount and Meal Form closes the gap between the RSVP list and the kitchen order. Respondents confirm attendance, menu choice and dietary restrictions per person, and the form records table groupings the planner can sketch directly.
Caterers get counts by menu, couples get a table plan input, and the planner stops chasing meal choices over text message.
