No RSVP = No Goodie Bag

Anonymous
... if I don't know you're coming to my kid's party. Agree or disagree?

Sorry, I think it punishes the kids. And then you'll be the bad guy to them, not their non-responding parents.

Disagree. You're willing to punish the chils, make them feel like shit because something the parent didn't do?

That's just mean.

That's horrible. Just make a few extra. What's the big deal?

I hate goodie bags but this technique also punishes the mom bc she's the one who will have to hear about not getting a goodie bag all the way home.

I invited 15 kids to my daughter's party. 7 said yes, 5 said no, the other 3 said nothing. Everyone showed up and with extra kids. I didn't have enough goodies for everyone and I didn't feel bad about it either.

I think that it is mean spirited. Why not just eliminate goodie bags, or just have a few spares on hand. People who don't RSVP don't do it intentionally.

I don't do goodie bags.

If you really want to be Mrs. Tough Teets then no goody bag=no food....but that's just rude.

so the 3 who didn't reply showed up? Or the 5 "no's" showed up as well?

Just make the stupid goody bags and if they don't show up give them to your kid or your kids best friend/bf's siblings. And why do we have to do these stupid goody bags anyway. My goodness, can't we just have regular kid parties where cake and ice cream was enough? I know you all remember. Like when the really cool kids patents set up the "make your own" sundea bar...why can't we just do that. What do you put in a goody bag anyway?

Disagree - What are you going to tell the kid if he asks if he gets a goody bag? "Sorry, but your mom didn't tell me you were coming."

I'm 29, and growing up, all the parties I went to had goody bags.

Hilarious. If you said YES RSVP = No Goodie Bag, I'd be your best friend!!

Someone Who Always RSVPs and Hates Goodie Bags

I agree with PPs. Just ditch them entirely.
