Send confirmation email prior to event

Hi,

Simple suggestion I would greatly appreciate. It may work out great for both of us.

I'm looking for a confirmation status or confirmation email. So, similar to reservations at a restaurant, stylist, or doctor's office, I'd like to be able to send out an automated email that asks for confirmation of an attendee. It would be wonderful if the system auto-updates with the confirmed status. Otherwise, I can update it as the emails come in.

Generally feel like I get cancellations the closer we get to our events. If I had an option for confirmations, it's another email sent for you guys and tracking for us.

Thanks.
