Ask families to pay to hold a spot
For a dinner with a set headcount, ask families to pay when they sign up. Their places are held while they pay, and unpaid places go to the next person.

Some dinners need a firm headcount, so families pay when they sign up.
Here's how payment to hold a spot works.
In Sign-ups, edit the dinner and turn on Payment required to hold a spot.
Spots are held for thirty minutes while a family pays, then save.
A family picks who's going and sees what it adds before anything is held.
They tap Hold and pay.
Their places are held, with a deadline and a Pay now button.
If it isn't paid by then, the places go to the next person.
They pay the fee by card.
Once it's paid, everyone's signed up, and the bill shows nothing left to pay.
In Who owes, you see the household paid in full.
