Is it common for people to just not RSVP to invitations? And do they tend to show up anyway if they hadn't responded? What's your experience?
Trying to plan a party where I kind of need to know how many people to expect. I don't know the parents of some of DS's school friends, so I had to pass them the invites through the teacher, but only one person out of seven replied

No one replies anymore. I just had DS1's birthday party. Out of 24 classmates, only 3 parents replied (1 yes, 2 no). Two showed up that didn't reply.

The day after my RSVP deadline I left notes in the cubbies of all the kids I hadn’t heard from. Anybody I didn’t hear from, I assumed wasn’t coming and I was right. I think people see the invite, think “I’ll reply later”, and then forget. A reminder note that the deadline has passed helped a lot.

@Mama Bird: in my experience, I almostseshd only get rsvps that are “yes” and everyone who doesn’t rsvp doesn’t come. I had a lot of anxiety about this the first few school friend invite rounds but at least for our group this has held true.
I always rsvp yes or no but that does not seem very common anymore.

@Mamatimes3: @erinbaderin: @Alba4: @MamaCate: thank you, good to know! I guess no RSVP usually means no then!
