RSVP & wishes
RSVP & wishes (sidebar, Invite guests group) holds the replies of guests who confirmed attendance, their answers to Extra Questions, and their wishes. The page has two tabs: RSVP replies (covered here) and Wishes & prayers (see Guest wishes). The number next to a tab name is how many items it holds.
This menu isn't available for digital catalog invitations. Their guests are in the Guest list.
Attendance recap
Above the RSVP replies tab is the Attendance recap card, counted in people (including the guests they bring). Its numbers match Statistics. Click a number to see the guests behind it.

| Can't come | The number of people who can't come. | Click to filter the guests who replied Can't come. |

Each guest's reply
Each guest who has replied appears as a card. This tab only holds guests who have replied. Guests who haven't are in the Guest list. The list shows 20 replies per page.
| Term | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Guest name | The guest's name, a VIP badge, labels, and Via group link if they replied from a group link. | |
| Coming · N people | The guest chose to attend and entered how many people come. | |
| Can't come | The guest chose not to attend. | |
| Events | The events the guest will attend. | Only shown if the RSVP has two or more events. All events means all of them. |
| Extra Questions | One line per question with the guest's answer. | Shown if you created Extra Questions. |
| Check-in | The time and number of people recorded when the guest arrived, plus the gift they brought. Not checked in if not yet. | Only shown if check-in is on and the guest replied Coming. Filled in from QR check-in, not from the RSVP form. |
| Last changed | When the guest's data last changed. |
Each card has an Edit button to change the guest's data and Open in guest list to open that guest in the Guest list. Resending the invitation, resetting the device, and deleting a guest are done in the Guest list, see Actions for each guest.
Above the list is a summary, for example the number of replies, the number of people coming, and the number who can't come. If there are Extra Questions, the Extra questions recap card shows how many answered and, for choice questions, how many times each option was picked. Free-text answers are read on each guest's card.

Preview the RSVP form
Guests fill in the RSVP from the attendance section of the invitation: choose attending or not, enter the number of people if attending, then write a wish if they like. To see this form exactly as a guest does, follow Check it yourself like a guest. Don't fill in the RSVP while checking, because the reply is recorded under that guest's name. In One Device mode, use Reset device for that guest after checking.
Who may fill it in and until when is set in Set up RSVP and invitation access.
