[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

As a person deleted from an invite with no warning, I found it rude. My child wanted to go, but I was trying to coordinate with another family member to see if it was possible to make it work, then forgot. When my child reminded me, I was not able to access the invitation and it was obvious we’d been deleted. Evite has a reminder feature for good reason—right after sending it is usually when I get a handful of RSVPs.  Some people hair can’t handle their kid’s party not being number one on my family’s list of priorities. [/quote]

No, some people need to plan carefully in terms of numbers (venue needs to know) and are well within their rights to delete those who give no thought to inconveniencing the host by not responding by the rsvp date.[/quote]

Even if you don't have the issue of venue, like if you're having it at a public park, you have food/supply issues. It gives me anxiety when I have rsvps for 30 guests and at the last minute get several more. I have always invited families (siblings welcome) for non-dropoff parties, so each rsvp might be 5 more people. By the night before, I want to have it settled how many  pizzas, how many favors,  etc.[/quote]

OP here. I have extra favors and food. My problem is I am at my exact max capacity so if anymore kids RSVP, I have to inform some families I cannot siblings that classmates RSVPd with. I wonder if these parents who RSVPd have thrown a party before. They can clearly see I invited the entire class on the Evite.[/quote]
