RSVP Question... for my Sister
Hi! Quick Question: If someone doesn't RSVP for an event, in this case a child's birthday party at a private bouncey house/tumble place, do you assume they're not coming?
It is 2 days before my nephew's party and only 10 of the 26 classmates invited have RSVP'd. My sister needs to give the tumble house a guest count for pizza, place settings etc.
I told her only to pay for the ones who had RSVP'd. She also doesn't have a way of directly contacting these people to "nudge" them because the day care doesn't give out contact lists - only helps send the invites.
WWYD?
Re: RSVP Question... for my Sister
Also... she has run in to two of the families invited recently and they have done the "we're not sure... we'll have to let you know later".
Can you imagine?
Grumble.
Yeah, I'd say they're not coming and just count on the 10. Generally if I'm coming, I'm excited and say yes quickly.

I agree with this. DH's cousin threw a candle party last month and sent out invites. Well, I live out of town, so never got one, but aparently there was a big blow up because no one RSVP'd but she assumed they were coming anyway. She made enough food and everything for however many people she invited, and then got mad (b*tching everyone out over the phone and on facebook) because they didn't let her know they weren't coming. Well, why did you assume they were coming? Maybe when no one RSVP'd (and she had all of their phone numbers to double check) you should've rescheduled.
ETA: Sorry for being b*tchy. It was just really annoying to hear her complaining about it.
Especially in a situation like this - where she doesn't really know the other parents - it's pretty safe to assume that no response means that they are not coming. I'd only plan on 10.
We've been invited to two birthday parties through our daycare. At both of them, we were one of the only ones there from the daycare. I imagine it's harder for busy families to justify making the time to attend when they don't have a personal relationship with the child or his/her family. I wouldn't be offended, but I wouldn't count on anyone else showing up.
