How do I review or change a guest’s response?

Open Manage → Guests to review responses and the confirmed headcount, such as 18 guests coming from 10 replies: a reply is one answer however many people it covers, whether the guest was emailed an invitation or registered through your link, and the chips under Filter count them the same way. The guest limit shows beside it when the event is nearly full. Search or filter the list, then open a guest to see the details available to your role.

Until someone is coming, that line says where things stand instead, such as No answers yet · sent yesterday, 2 can't make it · 3 no answer yet, or Nobody confirmed yet with the maybes under it; with RSVP off it says how many are on the list. Beside it is the one thing to do next: Add guests, a send button while invitations are still to go, Nudge with how many have no answer once three days have passed since the last invitations went and no nudge has gone in the three days before (your Overview offers the same nudge at the same time), or Message the maybes. Nudge and Message the maybes open Messaging with that message started. Before you publish, it says what publishing opens, such as Invitations can go out once you publish. After the event it says how many came, or how many said yes. An app version before 1.3 shows the guest count there instead.

The count is guests only. If you or a co-host haven't answered your own invitation, you aren't in it; answer it if you want to be counted, with a meal choice, seat and nametag. The final-numbers email a few days before still mentions hosts who haven't answered. Earlier versions of the app also show them under the count, such as plus 2 hosts.

Each row on the list is an invitation: one answer, however many guests it covers. On the website, press Filter beside Find a guest for the chips (Coming, Maybe, No answer and the rest), which count invitations and appear only when they have any and are not the whole list; where guests carry tags, Every tag at the end of the row narrows the list to one. The chips stay open while one other than Everyone is chosen, and Filter says how many are in use.

A guest who hasn't answered shows when they were invited. On the website, open them: Invitation lists Opened the invitation once somebody has looked at it signed in with the address it went to. In the app the row says opened, and their Timeline says when. A look without signing in isn't counted, so a guest without it may still have read it.

To record a correction the guest has given you, open them. On the website, Their answer changes the answer, and Change names and meals under it the people and meal choices. Review them before saving. If the guest has not replied online, you can record a response on their behalf: on the website, press Add guests, turn on Answer for them, fill in their answer, people and meals, and press Add with their answer. In the app, use the add-response control.

To change several guests at once, press Bulk edit beside Add guests. A box appears on every row: press rows to choose them, or the All box at the top, which takes the guests the list is showing (with a filter or search on, only those). A bar at the bottom then sets their answer, seats them at a table or adds a tag, each in one go, and says what it did and anything it couldn't, such as a table without room for a whole party. Message opens Messaging addressed to them. Press Bulk edit again to finish; pressing Add guests finishes too. In the app this arrives with an update.

To remove a guest, open them and press Remove (in the app you can also swipe their row to the left), or remove several from Bulk edit. They go to the recycle bin, with Undo for a few seconds. Recycle bin at the end of Settings on Guests appears while it holds anyone: Restore puts a household back with its people, tags and seats, for 30 days. Its message history and any agreement to texts don't come back.

When adding an RSVP by hand, you can include an optional email address and mobile phone number. Recording contact information does not subscribe the guest to messages, and it sends no invitation: the bulk send leaves out anyone who has answered.

An email address also adds the guest to your guest list. Nothing is sent when you save. When they sign in with that address, they see the answer you recorded and can change it. If the address is already on your list and that guest has answered, open them on the list and change their answer there instead.

Maybe responses are separate from the confirmed headcount.

On the website, Settings at the top of Guests has Download the list, which downloads the whole list as a CSV file, and Print, which prints the view you are looking at.
