When your child recieves an invite to a birthday party, do you RSVP? Will you call right away to let them know your child will or will not be attending, or do you wait a few days, or not call at all?

I've just sent out the invitations for my twins birthday party that's coming up in 2 weeks. I hope everyone has the courtesy to call and let me know if their child will be attending or not.

I try to call with a couple of days after receiving the invitation, but not everyone will be that courteous. I like to talk to the parents and see what activities they will have at the party and if they need any help during the party. If I don't know the family very well I am not always comfortable leaving my children with out my supervision. I also want to get ideas for what type of a present would best suit their child.

I never know what to say when someone asks me what sort of present to get my kids. I just like for them to be surprised and get whatever. Parents don't always know exactly what the kids what, and sometimes if they get something unexpected, they'll love it more than you would have guessed.

For me it would depend on what was written on the invite. If nothing is stated about RSVP then I probably would just show up. However if there is an RSVP I would call because they are likely making things and would like to know how much to plan for. Because I work at the school, I usually talk to the child there and tell them that I my child can go. If we can't make it that day then I would tell the child we would love to come but can't. I probably would not phone to let them know we couldn't come. If I handed out invites I wouldn't want someone to call and say they aren't coming but I would like them to call if the are coming. I see at the school lots of children saying they are going to parties but come the birthday they can't get there. So a call or word from a parent is always best.
Happy early Birthday to your twins:)

That happened to the twins last year. They'd come home and tell me all the kids who claimed to be coming, then some of them didn't show. I never got a single RSVP until the day of the party, and only 1 of those calls was from a child who couldn't make it. It irritated me a little, but the party was at my house, so it wasn't a huge deal.

Yes I always let the parents know that my child will be attending a party it is good manners to do so. People that do not let a parent know their child will be attending is a bit naughty.

It usually depends on how much notice I'm given. If I have notice enough, I may wait a few days. I do RSVP, always. If I'm not given much notice I'll call right away. It is the polite thig to do, RSVP, I mean.


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4932)   ranked 93 out of 6,704 in had children  1 year ago

It is the polite thing to do, but I always end up forgetting. The past few parties my kids were invited to, I ended up calling on the day of the party and asking them if it was too late to RSVP. Silly me, how awful. But now I know the feeling of waiting for those calls, so I'll probably do a better job in the future.


myLot reputation of 84/100. camomom (3539)   ranked 5,677 out of 6,704 in had children  1 year ago

I think it's understandable when you have 5 kids that it may slip your mind. You are a busy person.


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4932)   ranked 93 out of 6,704 in had children  1 year ago

It's not only that, but I also realize that others are busy as well. I'm not sure what time people are home, sitting down for dinner, getting the kids ready for bed. I hate to feel like I'm interrupting something, because I know what life is like with children in the house, and I get so irritated when my phone rings while I'm busy with something, or while the kids are in bed.

Understandable.

We have always RSVPed even if it is not requested on the invite. It just seems like a matter of courtesy
