[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry Op! It is soo stressful when people don't RSVP. And I can tell how much you tried to make this doable even with the weekday, very generous of you to include siblings! I think the weekday is also tough and I will also share that in the future I would do an evite. I have only had I think one paper invitation in my 3 or 6 year olds lives so far, and I think it probably makes it harder to RSVP and that is likely the issue! With the evites it is easy to send out reminders and people can remember later, go back to their email or text and find it to do the RSVP. You can send the invites by phone numbers if you don't have their emails (though I have found this wayy harder in the past because it is hard to find it later!!!! Much prefer email if you can).

[b]That all being said, you can't change that now but I think it would be totally fine to send a text to the group again (since it was a paper invite) after today to anyone you haven't heard from. "Hi! Larlo's mom here. Please let me know if you are able to join on xx for Larlo's birthday party. I know weeknights can be tough, please feel free to bring siblings and we'll have pizza, cake.." etc. It's a little desperate but who cares you don't know the parents yet anyway :)[/b]

I agree it does get tougher with older kids. With my older son we would have done this, with younger we might be picking up older kid etc and it just gets more complicated for some reason.[/quote]

Yes, I think this is what OP should do at this point.  And OP, best of luck -- you are obviously trying really hard and I hope it works out okay!  I wouldn't be surprised if a last minute nudge gets some results.  Different parents have different habits; with evites I've been in groups where people respond asap and I've also been in groups where lots of people respond on or after the deadline.[/quote]
