[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear there was a thread like this a few weeks ago from the other side and OP was completely attacked. Now this OP is being attacked. Can't win![/quote]

Yes there was! And I'm with OP on this one. 
Our upcoming party at a bounce house place has a max but I'm well under it so I don't mind if those two non-RSVP families show up. But I have hit the limit before so I see where OP is coming from. [/quote]

Exactly what I was thinking. Can't win on DCUM.

OP here - I know. Someone on dcum is always willing to give a counter point. Anyways, I went to great lengths to organize a nice party at a nice place with a nice activity. There is a limit. I can't help that. I invited only as many as I could accommodate. I also had no addreses, as we just started public school and the directory arrived home last week. As it is, it was next to impossible to even get emails...

I want all the kids to have a nice time and for all of them to take home the same nice goody bag. And I don't want to upset/annoy/piss off the party location with unexpected guests.  So it's just a little frustrating when other families don't respect the same values - I do find it weird that they checked the evite and got the Reminders and only decided to come a day in advance - it does seem like prior plans fell through.

I also don't see why I should leave any spaces open - why not invite sibs or DD's sib's friends instead of just waiting and hoping kids come?

I never had anything like this happen at our preschool - I wonder if people are more polite when they're paying to be part of a community?

I agree that evite should allow you to have a last date by which RSVPs are accepted.[/quote]
