The quicket thing for you would be to write the details and ask people to email or phone you.  Creating a form would require some .net development.

Don't worry. You're not alone.
Do you want to store their requests in database (difficult)
or email you whatever they filled out in the form (easier) ?

no i don't want to store the information in the database,
i just want the details to be sent to the admin e-mail address that i mentioned in the admin section > global section > mail settings
something like
Name : NAMETEXTBOX
Company Name : COMPANYNAMETEXTBOX
Contact Number : CONTACTTEXTBOX
Mobile Number : MOBILENOTEXTBOX
Addres : ADDRESSTEXTBOX
Number of people attending: NUMBERTEXTBOX


So all the details filled by anyone in the textboxes should be e-mailed to the admin..
i will be really grateful if you could help me with this issue....Please

you could try and duplicate/adapt one of the existing forms pages, e.g. CheckoutShippingAddress, so it only contains infos you need and one submit (next) button; upon click, it sends an email with the text field values, rather than store in the database; a link to the page could then be added to the topics section; does require a little bit of programming though

i am not sure about this way of doing it and i guess it will be more complicated for people to fill out the form in this way, because this is not compulsory that only registered members will get the invitation form, i have to send invitation fill up form to many members doesn't matter if they are registered with the website or not. They just have to fill in their details and i should get an e-mail notification with their details.

I 'll give you a suggestion. Create a new webpage under NopSolutions.NopCommerce.Web name space and be derived from BaseNopPage class. Within the webpage, design your form for filling out with a submit button.
After user clicks the submit button, collect all information in your webpage controls (textbox, dropdownlist...) and put into an email to send to an email address you specified. In order to send email out , you can use  SendEmail method of MessageManager class from NopSolutions.NopCommerce.BusinessLogic.Messages namespace. You also need to use MailAddress class from System.Net.Mail namespace. If you have a list of receiving emails, put them in a List<string> type object.

Hope this helps
