[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think my biggest point of stress is attendance. How many people will RSVP and even then how many of them will actually show up? How much food should I get? Will my child be sad if only 2 people show up? Is this even worth it? We’ve moved around a lot, so maybe other people here have a strong social network and don’t have this anxiety?[/quote] I have that anxiety, and we once attended a preschool birthday party where my kid was the only one who showed up, although others had RSVP'd yes and there was tons and tons of food. The birthday kid and my kid had fun and were little enough that it didn't really matter to them so no harm done. My kids are older now so we usually check with a couple close friends on date/time beforehand for my tween, and my teen coordinates with her friends on her own. So it gets better with less angst but I still don't like doing them. [/quote]
