Why use an order form
Keep dates, colors, quantities, and reference files together before you price or accept a job.
Use dropdowns and checkboxes for flavors, quantities, packaging, and pickup options, then reserve open text for the creative details that truly vary.
Collect invitations, logos, sketches, or cookie photos beside color and wording instructions.
Ask for the event date, requested pickup date, and order size together so rush requests are visible during review.
Built around your menu
Start with the closest ordering pattern, then replace its flavors, minimum quantities, packaging choices, and pickup windows with your own.
Gather themes, colors, wording, shapes, and reference images for birthdays, showers, graduations, and celebrations.
Offer box sizes and assortments from a controlled menu, with limited pickup locations and time windows.
Capture guest quantity, coordinated designs, individual packaging, favor tags, venue, and delivery interest.
Collect brand assets, color references, in-hand dates, shipping details, and purchasing references from business buyers.
Order intake workflow
Generate the structure, tailor it, publish the link, and review complete requests.
Tell Makeform whether you sell custom sets, fixed seasonal boxes, favors, or logo cookies, plus your menu and normal lead time.
Add real flavors and quantities. Show shipping or favor-tag fields only when relevant.
Share the form from your website, inquiry reply, social profile, or QR code so every customer follows the same intake path.
Route each submission to your inbox or spreadsheet, check capacity and complexity, then send the customer your availability, quote, and payment steps.
