So I’ve got myself in a bit of a pickle. My son’s turning 4 and, for the first time, he wanted to invite his friends. He’s in daycare and the only means for me to communicate with the other parents is by putting a note in the child’s cubbie/mail slot. I decided to invite all of the children. There are 20. I crossed my fingers that maybe half would come at most. Well, here I am 4 days out and only 5 parents have responded (4 of them were “no”). I failed to put an RSVP date in the invite. Anyway, I don’t know if I’m having one classmate and parents attend or 15. At first I thought it was no big deal and we’ll just roll with it but then I realized it makes planning nearly impossible. No idea how much I need in the way of snacks, favors, games, cupcakes… What would you do? I thought about putting a copy of the invite in the cubbies with a note apologizing for not including an RSVP date and asking that they let me know as soon as possible. Do you think people will find that irritating? It’s just a birthday party so I’ve got no intentions of working anyone’s nerves just want to make sure I have enough of everything.
On a side note, is it normal that people don’t respond to invites?
