It helps to hear that they are outside of the norm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-many-outstanding-rsvps-what-would-you-do#post-1972125 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:16:04 +0000 MamaCate 1972125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I asked everyone to rsvp by text to make it easier. The problem is some of the kids are part time and don't come fridays. Notes are not a bad idea...</p> <p>It helps to hear people are unlikely to come, I think.</p> <p>It will still be a pretty big party because we are inviting non daycare friends too. I think we have 9 kids and 2 babies and about 25 people total at this point. I am fine with the size, I just wish people would let me know either way, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-many-outstanding-rsvps-what-would-you-do#post-1972103 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:01:21 +0000 Mamaof2 1972103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no rsvp usually means they wont show up - drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-many-outstanding-rsvps-what-would-you-do#post-1972098 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 08:58:27 +0000 mrs. bird 1972098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>people suck. could you get to daycare a little early today and put notes in the cubbies asking people who haven't RSVPed to please do so tonight because you need to get a count for food, people are more likely to respond if they can email or text, so maybe include your cell &amp; email. i'm sorry people are blowing you off, i'm sure it will be a really special day even if it's a small party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-many-outstanding-rsvps-what-would-you-do#post-1972091 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 08:52:29 +0000 blackbird 1972091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually if people don't RSVP, they don't show up. I hate that. It's so rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-many-outstanding-rsvps-what-would-you-do#post-1972085 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 08:49:02 +0000 dolphin 1972085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always track down the slackers that haven't RSVP'd, but typically if they haven't RSVP'd, they probably won't show up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-many-outstanding-rsvps-what-would-you-do#post-1972079 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 08:43:40 +0000 MamaCate 1972079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's third birthday party is this weekend! Yay! This is our first big party with invitations to friends at daycare, etc. so we are excited...but, we have so many people who have not RSVPed.</p> <p>The deadline was last Sunday and I gave out invites a month ago. </p> <p>I invited the 18 kids in her class and of those, I have gotten 5 yes responses and nothing from the other 13 people. I am not sure if it is safe to assume they are not coming or hedge my bets. I am hoping to order some extra food and make some extra treat bags and crossing my fingers?</p> <p>What would you do in this situation? Most of these parents I see at school but don't have numbers for so there is no way to track them down even if I wanted to.</p> <p>In your experience, do people who don't bother to RSVP show up or not? </p>
