I mean it's a sunk cost. Yes she could have saved $24 if the kid had rsvp'd no. But if he had showed up, she would have still had to pay for him. And this way she had one less kid to take care of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2032094 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 09:27:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2032094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The article says the no-show parents accepted the invitation. So they RSVP'd yes? But, when plans changed couldn't use that same RSVP method to let the bday parents know?</p> <p>It's ridiculous to send an invoice though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2032082 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 09:15:42 +0000 MrsSCB 2032082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: that's what I thought! A wedding costs a hell of a lot more per person than this party (or at least mine did). But we had one no-show and I NEVER would have thought to do this. Because I'm not a nut job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031997 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 08:04:01 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2031997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I'm sure it has happened haha</p> <p>This whole thing is ridiculous. She would have paid the money if the child had been there...it's not like she charged her guests for coming. An invoice is absurd. But sending her husband to the house was a bad call....as was engaging with her on facebook. I would have thrown it in the trash and moved on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031989 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:57:17 +0000 Espion 2031989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, does this mean I can invoice the people who rsvp'd to my wedding and no-showed? :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031983 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:53:03 +0000 blackbird 2031983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: The flu makes an excellent birthday gift </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031982 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:51:17 +0000 Smurfette 2031982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: that is what I was thinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031978 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:18:48 +0000 avivoca 2031978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it would have been awesome if the parents had let the host know their son would not make it. But to invoice for the cost of that child? That is ridiculous. I'd be upset, but I wouldn't ever ask for the money. That's the responsibility of the host, not the parents of the guests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031972 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:12:46 +0000 Ra 2031972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if the kid was sick? Would he be expected to show up with the flu? These things happen when you throw any party/event. I think it's ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031966 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:04:08 +0000 blackbird 2031966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the lady said she had no way to contact the mom throwing the party, but at the very least, she could have called the venue and let THEM know so it filtered to that mom by proxy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031886 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 01:35:19 +0000 AprilFool 2031886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of side with the mum who threw the party even though I would never send an invoice, just bitch and moan to DH. It's so rude to just not show up to something that someone else paid good money for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031564 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 19:06:42 +0000 Torchwood 2031564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything @LuLu Mom said. It makes me laugh, but... seriously? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031529 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 18:43:28 +0000 pinkcupcake 2031529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL. Good grief. People be crazy.</p> <p>BUT - it was rude to not let them know they wouldn't be attending. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031455 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 17:45:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 2031455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I saw this, it made me laugh a little. The fact the mom sent an invoice is just ridiculous and threatening to sue over $15 is just outrageous. However, I do think the other parents could have come up with SOME way to contact them letting them now they were no longer able to attend, send a letter to school with the kid for goodness sakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031447 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 17:32:52 +0000 stargal 2031447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7wow both parties are being so immature about the.issue. poor kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-i-was-invited#post-2031426 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 17:11:58 +0000 autumnlove 2031426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-year-old fined for missing birthday party...</p> <p><a href="http://usat.ly/1J2UD70" rel="nofollow">http://usat.ly/1J2UD70</a></p> <p>A snowboarding party sounds awesome! </p>
