why is it that people are so clueless and rude when rsvp'ing to a party (or lack thereof)? does it take thaaaat long to respond that you might as well not bother??

get your crap together for the love of all that is holy!!! does this steam anyone else as much as it does me?!?!

YES or NO people and mooooooove on...gosh i'm annoyed.
 
No one ever RSVPs here, and it makes me crazy. So you end up getting stuff for a bazillion kids just in case, and then none of them show up. :thumbdown:
 
I really never sent invites because I only ever invited family and really close friends so Id just call them and tell them to mark the date and ask if they were coming then. Sorry you arent having much luck with the RSVP'ing. I would never show up to a party unless I told the person I was defenitely coming because Id feel like I was imposing and they may not have planned for the extra people
 
I've often thought of putting "RSVP Required or you will be shunned" lol... but I don't. *sigh*

I'm a "freak" that always RSVPs too, btw.
 
Oh, I know! For Nicholas's birthday party, I got like 3 RSVPs and they were all people I knew were coming for sure (grandparents and great-grandparents). :blink: I even gave them my email for ease.
 
Super annoying....I used to call when I did not hear from someone but I gave up on that a while ago.....I really chaps my hyde though, it is not that hard people. Just plain rude too!!!!
 
Oh goodness! I thought it was just the people that we always invite that never do it! Crazy to see that this is a problem to you guys too! I can't stand when people don't RSVP. It's not that hard to do. I actually started putting on invites: REGRETS ONLY CALL # That got more attention than my RSVP.
 
Yeah, drives me crazy, too. I usually send a mass email to everyone who didn't respond reminding them the party is coming up and asking if they plan to come.

For DS's birthday this year, I had to put a note on the invite asking people not to bring siblings because we'd be over the limit for # of kids if siblings came. I hated doing it, but there was no choice. Turns out I had so many nonesponders and last minute cancellations that we had a ton of extra room. If people had the courtesy to let me know ahead of time, I could have told the parents to go ahead and bring siblings after all! So frustrating.
 
I always RSVP and it's a pet peeve of mine when people don't. You get an invite, check your calendar and make a phone call, all of a few minutes is all it takes!
 
Totally one of my pet peeves! And, what about the ones that don't RSVP and then show up?! What is with that?
 
When the girls are invited to a party I always have THEM call and say they'll be there or not. Hopefully I'm teaching them a valuable lesson. lol
 
I am just curious. Why are people so friggin non-commital. You don't even have to stay, just drop off your kid and run. I don't need more friends. I just want my kid to have fun. I gave up on the party thing a long time ago. So much stress. I don't even invite family. My poor kids. They get 1 awesome present, like Bryan got an electric guitar for his birthday. Amanda got a new bed to put in the basement, where she made a room in the family room. Then, when grandparents can't commit to a day and time, I just don't have a party. The kids get to pick what we do for dinner on thier birthday. Anything goes. Lasagne, great! Hometown Buffet, sure! Chillis, no problem. What's that, pancakes and maccaroni & cheese, ew, but okay. Then they get a friend over that weekend. Amazingly aunts and uncles, grammies and grampies show up all week long with gifts, and I don't have to entertain them. But I do feel bad they don't have a party.
 
:) I am not sure how that RSVP escapes people - my youngest had a party this weekend and I had one mom call me an hour before asking me if her dd told us she was coming and could she still come. Of course, she hadn't (actually told my kid that her mother was "thinking" about it) and we had to dash off to the store to make another goodie bag! Ugh....people. I will admit at least the other moms got it - I did an Evite invitation and I guess the pressure of seeing that you saw the note but didn't respond got to many. :)
 
When it comes to kids parties I generally use the 20/30 rule - RSVP or not only 20 to 30 will show ~ I also try and call and ask if they would like to attend - especially if I have to pay a per child fee
 
It use to all the time, I mean to the point of boiling......until I had four kids and my life went to the pot!!! :D

Just a few months ago I lost an invite and never called either way :( I didn't even remember about the party till DD came home bawling the Monday after it!! I felt terrible and later sent a note to school with DD to give to the little girl to give to her mom (I didn't know them and couldn't even look up their name to call them) apologizing!!

Now when that happens to me I remember my goof and give them the benefit of the doubt...for a few moments any ways!!! :p :D :D
 
so glad i am not the only one in that pet peeve catagory. the thing that steamed me is that it was done by evite (the electronic invitation thing online). it was for an adult jewelry get to gether and evite tells me when everyone has viewed the invitation so it wasn't like they didn't get it, etc. they opened the invite, read it, closed it and then didn't bother to say yes or no. anywho...it ended up being a lot of fun. all i could think was, 'if my ssd girls lived around here, they would've rsvp'd and shown up and this would've been a blast!'

love you guys!!

Yeah that would be annoying!! I don't get why people don't RSVP either. Only takes a second. I would so come to your jewelry get together if I lived closer!!
