Is it ok to remove people off Evite after RSVP date?

Anonymous
I’m having a party this weekend and a few people never opened the Evite. It is an all class party and several people RSVPd with siblings so I am already full. Instead of telling people I can’t accommodate siblings, I just left it and wanted to wait until the end.

Is it ok to remove them before Evite sends a reminder right before the party?

These are kids my child has never mentioned. I have never met the parents and we have no relationship.

I don't think so. Also, they might just show.

I would remove from reminders etc. But be prepared that they could show up

That is poor planning in your part. No you do not rescind an invite.

I would only do this if you put a date that you wanted them to respond by. If that date is passed, then ok to remove. Otherwise just roll the dice that if they haven't opened it by now they likely won't and they don't plan on coming. Not worth the embarrassment if they find out and say something.

I have done it - and I have never had anyone show up or reach out who I removed from the evite.
The date to RSVP has passed. If they were coming, they would have responded.

For the future, what I did was make a minor update to the invite so that it was sent out again the day before the RSVP date. This way I felt that in case someone was planning to attend and it slipped their mind, there was a trigger to pull it to the top of their mail box and respond.

I had an RSVP date that has passed. I don’t think they are coming. I just don’t want Evite to remind them that they didn’t RSVP and they RSVP the day before the party.

My plan was to tell families who RSVPd with siblings that they can come but there is no room for them in the party room because the room is capped. It is a bit annoying I have to pay for all the siblings but it is not a big deal. I couldn’t find the words to tell families the siblings weren’t invited.

The subject says "after RSVP date"

It is fine to remove them from the guest list.

You say "due to limited capacity in the party room, we cannot accomodate siblings." And no, you don't uninvite people you already invited.

Who RSVPs with siblings?? Beyond rude and presumptuous.

Next time you limit responses to 1 and/or say "Jumping Joeys has a limit on our capacity unfortunately so sorry no siblings allowed".

I'd rather include siblings and families that want to come rather than ppl who can't be bothered to open an Evite and respond by the date

A good host would have reached out to those families via email to make sure the got the evite. Sometimes evites go to spam. How will those kids feel on Monday when they are the only ones who didn't know about the party?

This will be my only all class party in elementary school. My child is in public elementary. We have only been invited to 2 parties so far this school year. One girl invited most of the girls in class but not all and the other girl invited most of the girls and a few boys. I’m the only one inviting the whole class.
