b-day party RSVP's or lack of RSVP's

DS's birthday is next week and i still haven't heard from a few people.

has anyone ever not responded to a party but show up anyway?

Just wondering if I should just figure these people as No's

I had the same situation: I emailed the people in question and they replied that they are all coming but so sorry, just forgot to RSVP.

Just ask them!

Definitely ask - I had 1/2 of the parents not RSVP and I just asked if they got DD"s invitation. They did and just forgot to say that they were coming.

I've never but yes I've had people show & bring siblings too.

I would call them if they haven't responded - especially if the invitation went via backpack. I've had a few people call about invites I've never gotten because (1) their kid didn't hand them all out & left them in their desk. (2) my kid put it in their backpack in a hidden pocket for a "safe place" & forgot it.

I'm in the same boat! Party is next Saturday and I would like to get party favor bags put together, but I need to know how many kids are coming. Out of the 25 or so invited, only 7 have RSVP'd (and 3 come from the same family!!) Chat Icon

I was trying to keep his party small and didn't over invite but now i'm not even meeting the number of guests included in the package unless these 5/6 guest respond yes.
