[quote=Anonymous]My son’s 9th birthday party is on Sunday at an indoor play place.  Invitations went out 2 weeks ago.  Teacher put them in kids’ “go home” folders for us.  They said to RSVP by phone by October 9.  Just (at 2am on Saturday) got an email from a parent saying my son gave her daughter an invitation on the playground and they lost it—please confirm the date and time and give gift suggestions.  (No “She will be there” or “Sorry I’m just letting you know now”). I checked—I can no longer change number of kids coming to party on venue’s online platform, but I’m guessing I could probably call and do it tomorrow —even though it’s going to be a crazy busy day.  I’d made my son a goodie bag, so I do have one I could just give to this child.  I kind of don’t want to do this, though.  I know I am being petty but I don’t want to let such rudeness slide.  Here’s for some really insane pettiness: I don’t like that the mom said my son gave the invitation on the playground.  I feel like that comment was included to be mean: of course the invitation got lost.  And it’s such an odd, untrue detail to include in a 3 sentence email.  Also, I don’t know how she got my email address.  We don’t have a class directory and I only gave my phone number.  Weird.  And finally, I googled the mom real quick and she seems to be some kind of influencer wanna be.  Anyway, WWYD—call the venue and try to add one more and respond positively to this mom’s email or politely decline? I am not super worried for the child not being able to attend the party—my son seems to go to a birthday party every other weekend lately—there is no lack of opportunity to attend birthday parties.  And I’m not worried about my son’s really wanting this child to come—he’s never mentioned her.  I suppose I know the right thing to do and will do it but am curious—WWYD?[/quote]
