Create a new guest list via the 'Guests' Tab (this guest list should be separate from your main guest list). And add a different name to specify between each guest list. 

Go to the 'Invitations' tab and create a Standalone '<a href="https://support.zkipster.com/en/articles/5132113-email-and-form-templates#:~:text=the%20same%20form-,Responses%20Form,-The%20standalone%20Responses">Response Form</a>'.

In the 'Form Settings' section, add an Internal name for the form.

And change the form to '<a href="https://support.zkipster.com/en/articles/2997873-private-vs-public-forms#:~:text=locked%20fields%20below%3A-,Public%20Forms,-It%20is%20possible">Public</a>'. Please check <a href="https://support.zkipster.com/en/articles/2997873-private-vs-public-forms">this article</a> for more details.

Select the guest list from the 'Add New Guests to Guest List' section.

Select the total number of guests each person can bring if your event allows guests to bring +1's. The number of allowed +1's would apply to every person registering for the event.

Set your form to close automatically when a specific condition is met. <a href="https://support.zkipster.com/en/articles/5131950-how-to-configure-your-form-settings">Learn more here.</a>

We recommend to leave the 'Allow checked-in guests to submit form' to OFF in the main form. This option is ON by default on <a href="https://support.zkipster.com/en/articles/5368113-how-to-set-up-consent-forms-in-your-event-and-invitations">Consent Forms</a>, and OFF on response forms.
