[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had to miss last minute twice. Once for illness that showed up later in the day. The invite had the parents phone number. We texted and let them know. Another time it was a giant melt down about 30 minutes before hand. The phone number was not on the invite, would have had to look it up on the school directory. Meant to do it later, and never got to it. Do I wish we had been able to make it and if not been able to let them know promptly. Yeah. But I have grace for no shows. It's fine. It's also not like someone can invite another kid day of. "Larla wasn't going to invite you, but someone can't make it. Can you be here in 30 minutes. Please bring a big gift because I booked an expensive venue." Communicate promptly when you can. Show grace when people don't. Life with kids is an adventure. [/quote]

This is what I wonder. With paper invites, not everyone keeps the invite once they RSVP and put the event on the calendar. Unless they RSVPed by email (in which case they could easily pull up the contact info). Then they’re rude and inconsiderate. Some people are flakey and it stinks. I’d check in and see if the family were ok.[/quote]
