[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is very important to you is not very important to everyone else. Take a step back. You chose a "not cheap" venue, this guest did not ask to be invited.[/quote]

Huh?[/quote]

What don't you get? OP is acting like this family did something terribly wrong. Of course OP wanted their kid to have a good party, but sometimes things come up. This party didn't hold the same importance to the guest as it does to OP. She needs to move on. These things happen.[/quote]

It's incredibly poor manners to just not show up. It's not really about "importance." And most people realize that if you're booking a venue, it costs a set amount. [b]Your kid's place could have gone to another kid. Good grief.[/b] It's basic etiquette -- and to your point, you're telegraphing to the family that their event/kids party is of little importance, which is kinda mean!![/quote]

I would not assume there was another kid waiting in the wings to take my kid’s spot at laser tag or whatever. 
Who does this?   [/quote]

I have 3 kids and have had a B list in the sense of a younger sibling that is friends with one of my younger kids. If I’m friends with the mom I’ll say oldest kid would like to invite your oldest to his party. If we have extra space I’ll let you know so you can drop off younger kid too since my younger kid would like a buddy. Usually people are happy to have a sibling tacked on if there is space.[/quote]
