Dear parents, why can't you just RSVP to my kid’s birthday party!

It has been a theme since my daughter’s first real birthday party, when she was three. I’ve come to realize that people who don’t RSVP don’t come, and that people who can’t come don’t RSVP. In fact, in all the years I’ve been doing this party thing, I have never, not once, had someone RSVP to tell me they’re not coming.

“Can you ask Jimmy to tell his mom to let me know?” I subtly ask my son. I mean, if I’m lucky, Jimmy is a kid I know and I can ask his mom myself. But my kids always invite friends I don’t know to come to their parties, and I’ve already said “RSVP yes or no,” so I don’t know how much effort I want to put into hunting Jimmy’s parents down.

Third, you make us wonder if we did something wrong. Did the invitation not make it to Jimmy? Did I forget to write “RSVP” on it? Should I be the one hunting down parents to find out if we can host their kid and feed them yummy food and entertain them for two to three hours? Is this somehow my fault?

1) Forgot to send it 2) Thought my kid telling your kid they will show up is enough 3) RSVP? What’s that? 4) Why should I RSVP? It’s not a wedding.

So true.. I have gotten no rsvp’s as well but while in previous years I would fret over every RSVP now I don’t.. you don’t RSVP means you won’t come.. though i do send out reminders to RSVP a day after the deadline has passed and reminders to come the day before the party.

I’m guessing your child attends public school...

Dear Parents, if you RSVP yes, then show up!! That also annoys me! I have to pay for the yes’ and when you don’t show up, I’m out $ for no reason 😡👎
