How do I get people to actually RSVP?

Make responding take seconds and give a clear deadline. RSVPs stall when the form is slow to open, asks for too much, or has no reason to act now.

Likely causes and how to fix them

Responding feels like work

Ask only what you need. A one-tap yes/no with an optional head count converts far better than a long form.

There's no deadline

Set a visible RSVP deadline so there's a reason to respond now instead of later. An auto-closing form does this for you.

People forget

Turn on automatic reminders so anyone who hasn't responded gets a gentle nudge before the cutoff.

One-tap responses, an optional head count, deadlines, and reminders built in. Create a quick RSVP form
