Flaky people

It's my sons 12th birthday party today

First at new school so thought we would do a nice party. Booked paintball for 8 kids. Got rsvp's all fine

This morning 3 have pulled out. At £26 a head that is £75 wasted. Bet they won't give him a present on Monday either

People just absolutely suck. Never doing a per head party again. Fed up of people thinking it is ok to cancel on the day.

GAAH

Agree with you OP it's a pain when you've invested money you won't get back and it's too late to fill a place. Same thing happened to me, a few never turned up for DDs party and I posted on here about it to which I was told that I never know what's going on in the kids home and it's not their fault.
Fair enough, but doesn't stop it being fucking annoying

Could you take anyone else instead

Very rude of them

With 4 hours notice it is too late to fill the spaces

Did they give reasons why?

It's so annoying though, as you've paid for their place and party bags i presume.

Hope your DS has a fun time, still 5 attending so that's good x

I didnt realise even 12 yr olds are flakes. I thought just my friends! Awful of them.
