[quote=Anonymous]Send a follow up with a message saying you would like a head count for planning purposes. I had a few non responses to a party this month and the follow-up shook a few people to respond. I think that when you send an evite more than 3 weeks ahead people see the date is far off and aren’t sure what is happening and then just totally forget to respond. It is rude but not intended to be hurtful. And if this your first child, you won’t know yet but “end of school year” is like a month long period where parents are expected to do a lot more at school. It is frankly over the top but not worth fighting. So for me, I clear my schedule of all non-school related events for June. If an evite or invitation comes in in early June, it is possible it will be overlooked. You will understand when your child hits elementary. I swear. When I as a kid, we had ice cream in the last day. Now, the last 3 weeks of school is such a mess of events and activities and no learning. Anyway, that may play a role in your situation.[/quote]
