WWYD?
We are having a friend party for Noah on Friday. We had less than half of the kids RSVP. We luckily have enough coming to have the party (you have to have 8). Yesterday was the deadline, and I have to call the party place today with our count. Tomorrow I'm going to go out and buy favors - would you buy a few extra in case someone shows up without calling/calls later in the week? I'm just torn about what to do. I will feel like a jerk if I don't have enough for every kid. But, the part of me that is ALREADY a jerk wants to be like "Your mom didn't RSVP. Too bad, too sad".
Re: WWYD?
That's tough. I would hope that no one would bring their kid if they didn't RSVP, but you never know. I hate that people don't understand the definition of RSVP, drives me crazy!!
Anyway--will it cost you more at the place to throw in an extra one or two? will they let them in last minute if you end up having more?
edit-hit post too soon, if it costs extra to take the extra kids into account, I wouldn't do it.

Emmy - when I called to set it up, she told me to only give her the number I have at that moment. If someone shows up (or calls late), we can add them in that night no problem. (She said inevitably someone who didn't' call shows up). So I'm only giving the place the count of what I have now. It's the favor I was worrying about. Should I buy 2 or 3 extra?
Also, I will just say that we go to every effing party that gets thrown, and it p*sses me off that we have so few who are going to attend. Noah will still have fun, and HE doesn't care, but I do.
Ditto!
I've never purchased extra favors. Until now though we've really only invited ppl who are close friends or family, so if I don't get an RSVP I follow up. I'm sure it's more awkward when it's school friends though.
Id be tempted to do this too but I'm assuming the non RSVPers are people you don't really know and can easily contact.
and ditto whoever said to buy and return favors depending on what they are.
I have a tendency to forget to RSVP to daycare parties but its always the people we dont really know and when we are not going. I know we arent going and so i dont keep track of invite and lose the contact info to rsvp. Can't imagine showing up without RSVPing but I guess there could always be a mixup. Like if you gave email and they typed it in wrong.
Last year we had 1 kid whose parent didn't RSVP until really soon before the party. I ended up just buying favor stuff for her just in case and she did end up RSVPing yes like a couple days before. But it was just 1 kid so I wasn't too concerned if she didn't come and have 1 extra set of favor stuff.
Yeah, if you don't have to pay extra for the actual place, then I'd go ahead & grab a few extra favors just in case. It stinks that you have to do that, but I'm with you, I'd rather be prepared just in case.
BOO to the non RSVP'ers!!!

This.
And I have to say that one of the parties we did not go to this year, therefore did NOT RSVP, the Mom approached me at another party and asked if we had gotten the invite, that she hadn't heard from us, etc. Actually, she seemed a bit put off that I didn't tell her that Gavin was not going.
Meanwhile, I never told them we weren't bc every other party that I did email to say he wasn't attending but thanks for the invitation, we never got acknowledged so I figured, "why bother?"!
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Figure the non-RSVP'ers are not coming. Buy 1 or 2 extra favors just in case and leave it at that!
