Missed party

[DarkDarkNight]

I’ve just checked a party invite and discovered it was today

I feel like an absolute shit, I only RSVP’d on Monday and don’t know how it slipped my mind. I’m thinking I will still send a card and money in to School for the little girl on Monday.

I don’t even know why I’m posting, I just feel horrible. Should I text the Mum tomorrow?

You’re not a shit! Text an apology. If you had a gift and card ready then i would hand them over! If not then an apology is fine.

I did this once. To make up I took the Birthday out for the day with my children to a local adventure farm. Could you do similar?

I will text tomorrow, I honestly feel so awful. He has 4 parties this month so I was just giving a card and money. I will still send it.

I worried about my Son’s party that nobody would turn up, so I’m really annoyed at myself.

Don’t be daft! These things happen. Apologise and that’s that.

I don’t know the little Girl enough Itsreallymehonest. The School mixed the classes this year so there’s a few I don’t know.

It was a whole class party, and they’re not very close but I still feel terrible for saying we were going then not showing.

I know Wolfiefan I wouldn’t have felt particularly annoyed if I had no-shows at my Son’s party (we just had lots who didn’t RSVP one way or the other). It’s just anxiety on my part blowing it out of proportion.

I would feel bad too, but it was an accident and there's. not much you can do about it now! An apology via text is ok. I'd also send in the card and present.
If you happen to see the parent at the school gates, go over apologise and then carry on chatting as normal. No need to think it over any more. You've done what you can 😊

We had someone who did this recently, they rsvpd way after the deadline and then didn’t show anyway. We didn’t no them (reception age) so weren’t especially bothered. However on the Monday they brought a card and present and gave a reason and we thought that was really nice of them to do so. Hadn’t expected them to say anything so it was appreciated anyway. I’m sure they won’t mind, it’s not a huge deal!
