A user is frustrated with vague RSVP responses like 'X will try their best to make it' and wants a feature that allows guests to respond with a clear 'yes' or 'no' only. This would help manage guest lists more effectively, especially with deadlines approaching.
I invited an old friend to our wedding, who has since gotten married. They live a bit far so we have never met their spouse. He RSVP’d “yes” for the both of them, but in a note put that their spouse would “try their best to make it”. We have a lot of people on our b list who we would have loved to invite but couldn’t due to space. We are two weeks out from my venues final deadline for headcount and meals. How do I politely tell my friend that it needs to be a yes or no, without mentioning the obvious cost per plate or having other people we would like to invite if there is space?
