Please keep in mind that when someone RSVP’s for an event, they are counted as an attendee. No-Shows create problems when making reservations at restaurants and other venues.

This ensures that there will be enough seats for everyone. In the past people who have RSVP’d were “No-Shows”. This creates problems with the restaurants and venues because those are seats that could have been provided to other guests. Those who don’t confirm will be moved to “Not Going”, but you can still go to the restaurant or venue BUT NOT sit with the group. “No-Shows” will either be removed from the group or not be allowed to attend future events.
