How many typically show up? I know this depends on how well you know the parents and the school itself. I'm curious what it's like at your school, though. At our old school, we typically had 5-6 show up.

We've invited the entire class 3x so far and it's been good turn outs, about 90% RSVP'd Yes.
-
We invited 8 for LO 1's 4th and 7 attended. We invited 2 for LO 2's 3rd and 1 attended.
-
We invited 8 for DS third birthday and 2 came. They are the only two that even rsvp'd.
-
We invited the in home daycare to LO's 3rd birthday. It turned out to be 16 kids, about 6 more than I expected. Every single one RSVPed yes and showed. I had never even heard of some of those kids. I planned to have a B list for my friends' kids but we were maxed out as it was. Nice to meet all the daycare parents though.

@mediagirl: everyone we invited with the exception of two showed up. One was because the parent is a single mom and the older sibling was sick. It was DD's BFF so she was pretty bummed. But I also did not invite the whole class (20 kids) and just invited the 9 she is closest to and talks about the most. They've also been in the same daycare since she was 7 weeks old.
We also had kids in our family and friend's kids and were maxed out on the # of kids allowed at the party room. -
For DD's 4th I invited 4 and 4 said yes
For DD's 5th I invited 12 and 11 said yes -
We always invite the entire class (maybe like 20 total, including PT kids) and have never had more than 5 actually come. Being a summer baby in New England, I'm not surprised - good weekends are precious time!!
-
I didn't have a birthday party for LO last year, but we have gotten invited to 2 daycare birthday parties and didn't go to either. One the invite was stuck int he bottom on LO's mailbox so I didn't even see it until it was over
-
If I remember correctly for LO's 3rd we invited 10 and they all came.
-
We invited his entire class (23) and only 4 showed up.
-
@mediagirl: 10 out of 12 came! I was surprised!
-
We invited DS's whole class, 30 kids, knowing most would not come. I believe he ended up have 8 kids from school.
-
We have E's party this weekend. I invited 19, heard from 8 and 5 are coming. At least RSVP people!
-
@kiddosc: wow! Thankfully, all but 2 RSVP'd for ours. One that didn't RSVP did end up coming to the party!
-
@regberadaisy: I'm kind of nervous about a bunch of extra kids showing up. Last year we invited 8 and 4 showed up. He's in between classrooms this year, so we ended up inviting a ton of kids.
-
@kiddosc: yikes - good luck! I would've been nervous too. We have a capacity max because of fire code at the party room.
-
We invited his class of 8 kids, and 5 showed up. I also decided last minute to invite them and only gave one week notice. We just went to a birthday party last night, and the whole class came except for 1 classmate. Invitations were sent out on Monday.
