[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A two-year-old does not need a party with upwards of 40 people in attendance. That's just insane.

That said, people who don't RSVP are total schmucks. [/quote]

NP. I agree that having a party for a 2 year old is ridiculous. It's clearly for the mother. A few balloons and a cake and present with siblings and grandparents is fine and more than enough for a 2 year old. Expecting people with lives to attend is incredibly self absorbed. OP said they attended and supported her last year, and a 2 year old is too young to really understand or remember a party.

I agree that it's very rude to not RSVP, but OP is clearly a special snowflake with special entitlement issues, so I can imagine that people just feel strange about saying no and are waiting to see if they can get a better excuse. They can probably figure out that she'll hold it against them forever and are trying to prevent that if they can.

OP should realize that she was expecting far too much, cancel the party (in a NICE way, not by throwing a tantrum) and do one in a couple of years when it actually makes sense.[/quote]

This is the stupidest post I've read on DCUM in a while (and that's saying a lot.)  Parties are fun and a good way to connect with loved ones.  Nearly everyone I know had a 1st birthday party for their child, and many have had 2nd birthday parties despite their kids being too young to articulate "Mom, I want a party."   I had plenty of parties for my children when they were young and people were happy to attend, and it was a good excuse for me to entertain and see loved ones as I was not in the fancy dinner party stage of life when I had young kids.  One day OP's kid will be able to look back and see the pictures and know that people who loved her were there. [/quote]

I agree with people who like parties! I enjoy seeing kids of friends and relatives as well as getting together. If it's for your 2 year old or if it's just because, I am always happy when people decide to have a party and think to invite me. If I am busy that day or don't want to go, I simply decline. Beating up on OP because she wants to have a party is silly. [/quote]
