[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You expect folks to RSVP more than a week in advance for a kid's party?
Really?

If there's an RSVP by date, then yes, I expect you to provide your response by then, or I will assume you are not coming. Many places require a head count in advance![/quote]

I'm with you, OP.  It is super-annoying (not to mention rude) when people do not RSVP by the deadline, or even do not RSVP at all.  I am a "planner" and I like to have things done and organized too.  Just wanted to add my condolences. . .

Hope the party goes well![/quote]

Actually, the person you responded to is not the OP, but I'm glad to see there are at least three of us (you, me and OP) in agreement on this! I'm a planner, too, and most outside places require a head count, so not having an RSVP, or having one come in after the deadline, can really mess with planning. [b][u]It's gotten SO bad that next year we're not having more than a couple of kids to DDs party[/u][/b]. I'm done dealing with the majority who thinks their lives are too busy or too important to follow basic ettiquette rules![/quote]

Me too.  I'm the PP from right above you.  (Sorry, I thought you were the OP at first, but I am glad we all 3 at least to be of the same mind on this!) :)  Anyway, we are just doing a bday party with DD's cousins this year, when she turns 5.  She'll love it, the cousins will love it, and at least I know the moms (my sisters) will RSVP! ;)  [/quote]
