I would highlight something Bryan said above. Back end error checking
is important, but why not use some front end JavaScript to check for
simple things like blank fields.

With unobtrusive JavaScript you can set a script up once and apply it
to all your forms easily.

You can see an example here:

It's rather simple and could use some more work, but it gives you an
idea of what you can do.
