When I did event planning 10 years ago the rule of thumb was assume 1 attendee for every 2 rsvps

Tips for boosting the attendees-per-RSVP rate?

Yeah maybe with a strike system so you get one cancellation / no-show per month (or whatever cadence makes sense for that community)

Even if it’s not a deposit, I like the idea of a small “ticket price” to fund that event and make it better

It would be interesting to make “deposits” a norm: attendees pay $10-20 for the event and get it back when they check in, no-shows lose their deposit which helps fund more events
