What to do about DC party invite non-responders?

DC is having a party at a venue that charges £25 a head.

Most invitees are people I know the parents or at least have a mobile number so I can chase up RSVPs.

However, there's a few where I've had to give out paper invites with my mobile number on and I've heard nothing back.

I need to confirm numbers with the venue.

What's the etiqutte here - just assume non-RSVPs aren't coming and then risk someone turning up and having to be sent home? Or spend money on places just-in-case a non-RSVP shows up?

I had this issue with my first child's party. Turned out lots of people text the day or 2 before the party despite loads of notice! Doesn't help now but I quickly learnt to add an RSVP By date on future invites so I could confidently assume not if no response by that date. Sorry, haven't read all the comments but can you catch them at school gates?
