[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For our party, I used evite.  I had a deadline.  A week before, I sent a reminder via e-vite.  2 days before I had to give the venue a final headcount (they charged extra per person), I individually emailed or FB PMed those who had not responded (there were either 3 or 4 out of 11 households) and informed them that the venue had a deadline when I had to give a head count and I could not guarantee they could come if they didn't let me know.  I was planning on calling the parents of those who didn't respond on the last day if they didn't respond to the email/PM but they all RSVPed by the date.

At that point, if someone ignored an evite (and all the parents apologized, said they had seen it but got busy or had to check with family, etc), ignored a email/PM and ignored a phone call, then I really don't feel the obligation to include the child.  The parent will have to apologize to the child for screwing up and make it up to their child somehow.

I get it...I'm busy too, but at a certain point parents who were special snowflakes growing up have to finally take a little personal responsibility and be an adult.[/quote]

This OP didn't contact them beyond evite.[/quote]
