[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this (deleted invitees after rsvp date) because I was a) peeved at the non-responders and b) had so many people coming already, but I regretted it. Following the deletions there were a couple misunderstandings. A kid asked his parents to find the invitation and respond, and they tried to, but link didn't work, so they contacted me. Another parent said she looked for the invitation the night before party and couldn't get to it. I felt badly, and had to admit what I had done, and re-invite them. I mean, if things worked perfectly, people would rsvp on time after reminders and all, but if they missed it/forgot, and their child wants to go, I'd rather the child be included rather than focus on who's right/wrong/rude out of the parents involved.

NP. I’ve never deleted a guest, but I did receive a text from a parent who hadn’t RSVP’d letting me know that their child whom I had invited would be attending with a sibling I didn’t know existed — 45 minutes before the party.

This was the same party where a different parent whom I didn’t know RSVP’d that their invited child plus 3 siblings and both parents would be attending. I paid the venue for this family’s 4 children to participate. Then they showed up with the kindergarten classmate, a toddler and twin infants in a stroller. Only the child we invited actually participated, so I paid for 3 kids for no reason at all. I don’t think the parents understood what the RSVP was for. For the life of me, I couldn’t understand why the whole family came. Why wouldn’t one parent stay home with the 3 little ones and the other parent take the oldest to the party?

That was the first, last, and only whole class party I threw.[/quote]
