Hi,
I have a birthday boy who will have a party next weekend , we have invited the whole reception class as this is what have been done by other parents since September . My boy always attends every party as much as we can make it etc.
The issue I am having is that I still haven't heard from 20 people at least, there are 30 kids in the group, only 10 have let me know and the rest haven't send me a message either way.
The parents of the kids that havent responded are the ones that I usually see at the parties so it is not like they just dont do parties :(
I am finding this really sad as my son iisvery excited.
I have given the parents plenty of notice on the group chat as well as sending DS to school with paper invites.
It is actually frustating because I need to let the venue know how many kids there will be and also make final payment.
If there is no response whould I take it as "no" ?
Whould I message each parent for confirmation ?
Is that what people usually do ?
I always respond to the number given if my boy is invited and can or cant make it, I thought I would at least get people replies.
This is my first child and I don't really know if parents should usually respond .
Would you help me out ?
