DD has her birthday next week and we are having a party over the weekend. Because her birthday is so early in the year we handed out invitations just before the schools broke up.
We’ve invited her whole class of 30 kids and have had 5 people RSVP. I’ve heard through the grapevine that a few other kids are coming but not direct from the parents.
I’m starting to panic that no one is coming! I work full time and don’t know many of the other class parents as I’m never around for pick up but I am friends with a couple of them on Facebook. If I send a casual ‘can little Jimmy come to the party?’ type message will I come across as pushy? I think it’s fine as long as it’s casual and doesn’t come across as me being annoyed about having to chase them (which I kind of am but I know things get forgotten in the Christmas chaos). DH thinks I’m panicking over nothing, most of the kids we invited will be there and people will think I’m being crazy if I start chasing them.
