See who is coming

Your guest list shows every reply as it arrives: who is coming, who cannot and who has not replied yet. Totals count people, so one reply for a family of four counts as four.

Reply statuses

  • Attending: the guest is coming, with the number of people in their reply.
  • Can’t make it: the guest cannot come.
  • Awaiting reply: no reply yet. Guests have no "maybe" option.
  • Waiting list: only with a waiting list, for guests who replied once the event was full.

Open a guest to read their whole reply: the people with them, Message from the guest, meal choices, Programme replies and the answers to your own questions.

Replies and people

One reply can cover several people: the guest and the people with them, up to the number you allow in guests per reply. Totals count people, not replies. A family of four who reply once counts as four.

With Companion names on, the names of the people with each guest appear under their row, marked child for children, and the search finds them.

Where you see the totals

  • Guests: the line under the title gives the number of people on the list and how many are attending. On a computer, each status above the list shows its number of people, with a line saying how many have replied.
  • Your event's home screen: the people attending and the share of guests who have replied.
  • RSVP analytics: open it from your event's home screen for the breakdown of replies, party sizes, where replies came from and, if you set a limit, the places still free.

Live, and only for you

Replies appear as soon as guests send them, on every device and for everyone on your team. To be told straight away, turn on notifications for new replies. Guests cannot see who else is coming.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my list show more people than replies?

Because totals count people. One reply can include the guest's partner, children or friends.

A guest told me by phone they are coming. Can I enter it?

Yes. Open the guest with Edit guest and change their Status.

Can guests see who else is coming?

No. Replies are only visible to you and your team.
