[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was invited to a birthday party at a new-ish friend's house. All girls, not a sleepover, fairly small group (guest list was public.) My DD really wanted to go but we were visiting family that weekend that we very rarely see, so we politely declined and stated the reason. Now, our family canceled because they are all sick. I reached out to the mom to explain and see if there was any chance my DD could still come. After a day of silence she wrote back no,[b] that she had already planned everything[/b]. I politely told her no worries and that I understood. But I totally don't understand! In the reverse situation we'd have been thrilled to have an invited guest be able to come at the last minute.

If this makes sense to you, could you help me understand? If its about party favors or something, my DD couldn't care less. I don't know the mom very well so can't ask her. My DD will get over it, but I'm still just stunned. There wasn't a deadline to RSVP and the evite is still active. What would she have done if I had just changed the RSVP to yes? I'm not going to obviously. [/quote]

A smaller group allows for a more personalized party. Embroidered bath robes. Bringing in a nail tech to do manicures. Personalized water bottles. It would be annoying to have to scramble to pull those things together at the last minute. [/quote]
