Would you feel bad if your kid was added late to an invitation?

[Anonymous]

My child is having a birthday party and didn’t include some people on the original guest list. If you can see all other guests have RSVPd 2-3 weeks ago, would you be bothered that your child was invited later than the other guests?

I can’t even say it is a B list. They are just people who weren’t on the original guest list.

At this point I'm just happy that people make any effort.

I don't care about being B-listed and I wouldn't mention any observations to my kid.

I know people have budgets, don't have contact info, forget, whatever.

It's okay. Anybody who is offended isn't likely to be a pal in the future.

Not at all. I'm just happy they issued the invite. I don't quite understand why some people get upset about that.

[Anonymous]

Yes. I'd decline.

[Anonymous]

Maybe, but I'm an adult. I can feel both awkward about being B-listed and happy that you included my kid. My kids would not feel bad being late additions and are excited about every party invite.

It is a B list so I wouldn't pretend otherwise - but I wouldn't really care.

I would be annoyed if you pretended it wasn't a B list and made up a bunch of lies.

lol no. We’re going but as they expected we’re not bringing a gift.

I wouldn’t be offended because they’re probably not close friends but it’s a bit tacky and desperate.

+1. Get the guest list correct before it’s sent. Once it’s sent, you’re stuck.

DD wanted to invite someone who was in her class last year. Then there is a new girl. Last girl is daughter of friend of mine who DD did not originally want to invite but I convinced her to.

How old is your dd? Don't force her to invite people.

if only two, send the info as a standard email, not an evite type.

Shitty of you to force her to invite your friends kid. Shouldn’t have taken you two WEEKS to send invite to new girl and last year girl.

Yep. And I wouldn't bother making going a priority because they clearly aren't close to my kid.

I wouldn't be offended and would definitely notice the aged RSVPs in my new evite! If it worked and I wanted to, I would. There are lots of reasons to not be in the initial cut.

We received that (adult version) for a political fundraiser. Probably we are not heavy hitters financially and they had some spots open after initial RSVPs. It did not work for us but I'm not bitter about the sender at all.
