I would email the mom if you would like to attend.

This floors me.

Then please explain why.

NP. Because it's extremely rude.

I use evite regularly to schedule our rec soccer games, for which I'm the captain and it's been glitchy as heck recently.
Kicking me out several times over the last several weeks. Giving error messages for my created evites.

Try via the app which seems more stable, or reach out to the parents for details.

wow, seriously?

PP here. I was really stressed out about this last year and it miraculously turned out ok. I ended up having exactly 24 kids. I wanted to change the settings to NOT send out a reminder and I couldn't even after I reached out to evite support. I didn't want people who did not RSVP to be reminded to RSVP. I know it wasn't ideal but it was the best I could come up with.

NP. I think it's great!

This floors me.

Got to agree. It's rude. I can see how the RSVP auto reminder is annoying especially if you are full but just seems obnoxious to delete them from the invite.

Do you think it is rude to RSVP a day before the party? A week after the RSVP date?
Or bringing siblings or coming without RSVPing. Lots of people don't RSVP at all.

I seriously doubt you were uninvited! If you forgot to RSVP by the deadline, she probably removed you from the list so you wouldn't get any annoying follow up emails or reminders. If it was a home party and you can now come, I would just contact the parents and ask if you can still RSVP. I know I've done this before and definitely was not uninviting people would prefer they contact me if there is a misunderstanding like this.

This seems really weird.

Weird that I had it open? Or weird that he deleted someone? 7 year olds are pretty weird! He said the boy told him he couldn't come so there wasn't any point keeping him on the invite. I told him to leave any evite editing to mom! But I was surprised how easy it was to delete someone--it was one click, I think.

You cannot justify rudeness by saying other people are rude.
Or bringing siblings or coming without RSVPing. Lots of people don't RSVP at all.

Not PP but my 7 year old would never dream of using my laptop and would have no clue how to work adult websites like evite.

Just email the parent or call. I once misunderstood something on evite for my kids' party, and it was telling the responders that the party was full and that they couldn't go to the party without my knowledge! Thank God someone happened to early see it early on and didn't take it personally and let me know. So I fixed the problem .

Thanks everyone. The mom reached out to me before I'd decided whether to reply to her (if it was intentional, I didn't want to cause any embarrassment, so I was hedging). It was accidental or some sort of evite error. We are all good now.

Doesn't sound rude to me at all. You're invited to our party, the cutoff for replies is this date. After this date, the party is closed. Not replying means = I don't wish to be included. Why even have an RSVP date if it's "rude" to follow it and take people at their word?

My laptop doubles as our family computer, so he uses it for school research and the PBS kids website. I think the evite page was open and logged in because I was checking the RSVPs with him, then walked away to fix something on the stove. I'm pretty sure he could maneuver the website without me (although he wouldn't know my login password) -- they set those websites up so that any literate person can use it pretty easily with a point and click.
