It's my son's 4th birthday party next Sunday. The gym venue which we've booked has a max of 30, so we invited the 26 children in his class, plus his cousin, older brother of his best friend, and the children of our best friends.

Today is the day that I've put on the RSVP as need to reply by, and I've still got people who haven't replied!

Would IBU to send a last minute invite to some of his other friends? Or is it too rude?

To put it into context I had one of these last week from a friend of a friend who gave the excuse that she's been a bit disorganised this year. We accepted the invite graciously.

They will be children who my son went to toddler group with, but doesn't really see any more. (but would be great to catch up with) One of the mums has already apologized to me that she couldn't invite my son to her daughters party because they'd invited children from school. I don't think the other mum will mind either..

I've sent out ;ate party inviotations before now, for adult parties as well. W all know that there's a numbers limit to most social events and that;s ok. Just don't say they're the back up guests. If anyone says that to me I just smile and say 'of course not, we'd love to have you/your dc'.
