[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I did set a firm RSVP deadline that also went out by evite twice. The parent in question checked the evite quite a while ago, so it's not as if the email went into junk.

I sent a nice email to both parebts apologizing and explaining that I filled extra spots with neighbor children and that I would love to do a playdate sometime - yesterday afternoon. No reply. Now, I'm scrambling for goody bags. I ordered really nice items and custom made a goody bag in the birthday theme. The left over ones will be noticeably different.[/quote]

Do you really expect a response?  I can't imagine that they will want their child to do a playdate with yours.  I'd also be interested to see how other parents react to you after word gets around about this.  Really can't imagine uninviting a child because a parent forgot to RSVP and only in DCUM land would people be ok with it.[/quote]

It's so weird how many posters are nearly apoplectic at the idea of OP not accommodating people who didn't RSVP in time, but who don't seem to think that the non-responding parents are in any way responsible for answering the Evite. Where's the ire for the parents who can't get their shit together enough to click "Yes" in an email?[/quote]
