I have made many many feedback forms for events I have run or been a part of. Here are some simple heuristics of mine, that I write for others' to learn from and for my collaborators in the future. Most of my events have had between 50 and 500 people in them, that's the rough range I have in mind.
1. The default format for any question is a mandatory multiple-choice, then an optional text box
Most of your form should be 1-10 questions! (e.g. "How was the food, from 1-10?") Then next to it give people an optional space to provide additional text.
