How to set up a sign-up page for a recurring event
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Weekly runs, monthly workshops, a language café every other Thursday: recurring events usually start with a Facebook event, a Google Form or a message in a group chat. These tools are free and familiar, but they break as soon as you need a limit on places, a waiting list or payment.
Where the usual tools fall short
| Tool | Good at | Falls short on |
|---|---|---|
| Group chat | Quick announcements | Knowing who is coming, limiting numbers |
| Facebook events | Reaching people already on Facebook | Capacity limits, payment, people without Facebook |
| Google Forms | Collecting names | Closing when full, waiting lists, payment, a new form for every date |
| Booking page | Capacity, waiting list, payment, every date on one page | Needs a few minutes of setup |
What a good sign-up page does
- Shows all upcoming dates with the number of free places.
- Closes a date automatically when it is full, and puts extra people on a waiting list.
- Lets people sign up with just their email, no account.
- Sends confirmation and cancellation emails automatically.
- Takes payment when people sign up, for paid events.
- Lets you email everyone signed up for a date when plans change.

Frequently asked questions
How do I limit the number of people at a free event?
Use a sign-up page with a capacity per date. When a date is full it closes automatically, and further sign-ups go to a waiting list.
Is there a free alternative to Google Forms for event sign-ups?
Yes. BookMyClass is free for up to 100 free sign-ups every 30 days, with capacity limits, a waiting list and automatic emails. Pro (99 SEK / €8 a month) makes free sign-ups unlimited.
