[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things happen and it’s just a birthday party. Start doing them at home and be flexible on guest list and times, you’ll be a happier person for it.[/quote]

Not sure if you've ever thrown a birthday party at a specific venue, but many have number limits, and they're not inexpensive. Beyond the cost, simply ghosting on a party is bad manners. I hope you do realize that?[/quote]

DP and I have throw parties at venues with limits more times than I like to remember and the times I do remember - that’s when all the invited kids showed up 😅 Seriously you have to go into it with a sunk cost mentality. Things happen. and this is a kids birthday party so for some families and parents it’s not going to trump whatever is going on their own life. [/quote]

I rented the whole venue when possible because I didn’t want to lose kids in a crowd.  One was a roller skating place with laser tag, karaoke, and food. Or it could be a separate room for party only.  We would invite the whole class and others for awhile but I don’t remember a ton of rudeness with regard to no rsvp or not showing.

My youngest child is over ten years younger than my two oldest and she’s the opposite. She’s happy with one friend or a handful of friends.  [/quote]
