How many kids actually come/came to your kiddie party vs # you invited?

We're all paid for a kiddie party for 15 kids. I invited 16 and made 16 favors already.

It's 2.5 weeks before the party and I only have 3 RSVPs. Chat Icon I sent the invites out about a week ago. I did not put an RSVP date.

Should I invite more kids?
How many kids did you invite vs how many kids showed up?

DD#1's birthday is in January. I think people typically do not have a lot going on and on all of her 10 birthdays, we had almost everyone that we invited come, including her kiddie parties. With that said, I have had to call people year after year because they do not RSVP. You may need to make some calls.Chat Icon

We've invited about 15 to DS' parties and they all have come.
This year was 17 and all but one was able to make it.
Im sure you'll hear from people up to and including the day before the party! Some may just show up!

The day of!??!?!?

What is wrong with people? Don't they know the host needs a headcount before? Argh!

I always RSVP right away.

I invited 26 and 22 showed up. The majority responded on the RSVP date or later.

I invited 18 kids and we had 13 (was supposed to be 15 but a child and their twin came down with the stomach flu the night before the party).

I actually had an RSVP date for DD#1's party - but only 2 people RSVP'd. I was embarrassed to ask but I just said to all the moms did anyone get the invite? It turns out almost all of them had them on their fridge they just forgot to mention it.

I invited 30 to a party package for 15 kids not thinking everyone would come.

I did not put an rsvp date on the invite and sent them out 2 weeks before party. Calls came in like crazy the 2 nights before the party and all 30 kids showed up...so I also had to pay the extra 12 per kid after the 15 Chat Icon
