RSVP
My DD is turning 4 on Saturday. We're throwing her a party on Sunday. (Just an "at-home" party, but a party regardless.) I've learned my lesson, from DS's previous parties, not to assume some kids won't come. With his, I'd send out 20 invitations, (thinking it would be great if I could get 10-12 kids to come) and every last kid would show. Mayhem. So last year, I only invited a handful of kids to DD's party. It was wonderful. This year, following suit, I only invited the little girls in her preschool class, plus two she was friendly with from last year. That makes 7 invitations that I sent out this year. Today is the RSVP date. I have only heard from 2 kids. Where are the other 5? Are they waiting to see if a better offer comes in? Maybe a party at Bounce U would be more appealing?? I just don't get it. Yes or no. It's really simple.

Maybe in the US we need to go with a less fancy, less formal version of RSVP which only politely requests a response. How about...Tell Me You're Coming Or You Don't Get A Gift Bag: XXX-XXXX!
