[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for your feedback. It is new to me that there are people who would deliberately not view the Evite invitations because they know the host can see it. I am nervous because I don't know half the parents and I was hesitant to organize this to begin with. I considered inviting his preschool friends but they have all gone to different elementary schools and we have not kept in touch. It was nice to organize his preschool parties because I knew the other parents so well and can count on them for coming. I guess it is a different ball game when it's kindergarten. FWIW, it is an outdoor bday party. I really regretted doing this. [/quote]

It will all work out, don’t worry!

FWIW in the past when we have had light attendance (2 of my DC have birthdays near major holidays), I’ve rustled up other friends and their kids (even if not same age), neighbor or colleague’s kids (again, even if not same age), friends of my other DC, etc. It never seemed particularly weird- “hey we are having a party for Larlo on Saturday! I know it’s short notice but we’d love for you to come!”

I have also found that several people always end up rsvp’ing like 2 days before (or not rsvp’ing at all and just showing up).

One year we only had maybe 5 kids attend (invited 15ish...all the boys in his class plus a few others we knew) and it was actually great. My kid did not care. [/quote]
