No need to cast aspersions on the hosts for OP's mistake.

No it’s not. Order any gift on Amazon or Target and its there in two days. Rsvp Yes or No and keep it moving. Most people dont RAVP til week before anyway.


Or just don't give a gift.

Non-issue.

Teach your kids to organize their files so they tell you about birthday invites.
