DD got a party invite, it's for this weekend and I've been trying to reply. The number on the invite is very unclear and after several attempts I still haven't successfully managed to contact the parents of this child.

The girl isn't in DD's class and I have no idea who her parents are I'm going to try and get DD to point her out if she's there when DD arrives or gets out of school but failing that, WIBU to just turn up with DD?

You could send a note to the other parent via your DD or the class teacher. I would not just turn up.

Could you not leave an RSVP with the school receptionist ask her to pass it on to the girl

hurp durp, yes, a note would be the most sensible thing to do Blush. I didn't even think of that.

I have 2 invitees for DD1s party on Saturday who haven't RSVP'd yet (are you one of them???!!) and have debated asking the parents if they are coming (actually, I only see one parent, the other child is dropped off after I've gone, usually).

I am totally expecting them to just turn up if they feel like it, and would be pleased to see them.

Can I ask you - should I ask the parent I do see, who hasn't yet RSVpd?

Now that would be a weird coincidence. Does your DD have the same name as one of your missing invitees?

I would ask the parent you do see, sometimes people just forget to reply.

Ah, no, she doesn't (I was worried though as I do have terrible handwriting!)

You're right, I will ask tomorrow, thank you.

And good luck!

Send a note in with your dd to give to the other child? Which is presumably how the invitation was received in the first place.

I just text our acceptance! Is that rude? I never thought I needed to hear back!
