Just after a bit of help.
Ds is having a 5th birthday party in a new area / new school / new friends. He's at a very small school with an active preschool and they have a lot of joint session for play etc.
The party is 2 weeks today, superhero theme on a hall with bouncy castle and games etc. he's very excited.
I invited 20 children and heard back from 11 (8 yes, 3 no - 2 of which are children he's desperate to attend and is quite disappointed)
Of the other 9 waiting, 2 are easy to chase but the other 7 I've no idea who they are. They are preschool children who he plays with but I don't know them at all.
Should I just leave it and accept that probably means they won't come or chase somehow. The party bags have a superhero toy on which is from the poundshop and proving difficult to get enough so there's no way I could get enough for all children invited - I really need to know for that reason but I guess I could just get something else as a back up party bag option.
I'm also a bit worried that 9 children isn't enough for a hall party and they will be lost in the room. There's mask making, superhero training and snacks. There will be quite a bit of family there as well for various reasons he's have a friends and family party this year for the first time. There's no one else he can invite as he literally only knows and plays with these 20 children.
Last year we lived elsewhere and we had 14 which was a lovely number for a party so I'm a bit worried!
Thanks for listening xx
