Am I being too impatient?

We are having a  birthday party for DS next weekend, he will be 5 and I sent out invitations asking the parents to rsvp by Tuesday the 20th of October.  Only 2 people out of 24 have replied so far.  Am I being impatient or should I start to wonder if anyone is coming?  I will feel bad for DS if no one shows up. 

Re: Am I being too impatient?

  • were the invites given to the children? many parents might not even know about the party!

    I'd start calling...if they make a comment about "well its not the RSVP date" blame it on "kids" and that you just want to make sure they had the invite...KWIM? lol

     

    My shower is on the 24th we asked for RSVP's by the 17th - we're still waiting for 19 replies....nice, huh? The 17th is tomorrow Tongue Tied

  • I gave the invites to the teacher and she put them in their backpacks for me to make sure they all received one.  I just find it a bit rude that they all wait to the last minute to reply or not reply at all.  I also don't know what to do about the loot bags.  I don't want to make to many and be stuck with all the extras but I will feel bad if kids show up who didn't reply and don't get a bag.

    Most people wait until the last minute to reply. It's on the to-do list, but never at the top.  I wouldn't worry about it until after the 20th. 

  • I would wait until the 21st and then start calling. 
  • If I was a parent of one of the children I would think I still have lots of time to reply. I would wait until the 21st then start calling.
  • I'm a planner and can totally understand your concern at only 2 replies so far but lots of people put replying on the back burner and realize last minute. I'd wait until the 21st and start calling as well.
