[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is very important to you is not very important to everyone else. Take a step back. You chose a "not cheap" venue, this guest did not ask to be invited.[/quote]

Huh?[/quote]

What don't you get? OP is acting like this family did something terribly wrong. Of course OP wanted their kid to have a good party, but sometimes things come up. This party didn't hold the same importance to the guest as it does to OP. She needs to move on. These things happen.[/quote]

It's incredibly poor manners to just not show up. It's not really about "importance." And most people realize that if you're booking a venue, it costs a set amount. [b]Your kid's place could have gone to another kid. Good grief.[/b] It's basic etiquette -- and to your point, you're telegraphing to the family that their event/kids party is of little importance, which is kinda mean!![/quote]

I would not assume there was another kid waiting in the wings to take my kid’s spot at laser tag or whatever. 
Who does this?   [/quote]

Sheesh, I absolutely would. It's called basic courtesy.[/quote]

You would call around and see if a kid not previously invited would want to come at the last minute?[/quote]

Now that’s rude and insensitive.  [/quote]
