To wonder why some people don't RSVP to DC parties?

[MrsMushroom]

I can't fathom it really. Out of 28 DC in DDs class, 22 have responded with thank you we'd love to come...one has let me know they will be away that weekend and 5 have not responded at all!

I see one of the Mothers sometimes....what's the deal?? Obviously we can't go to ALL the parties ALL the time and I'm happy with 22 that are attending...but I don't know how many bleddy party bags to make now! I'll have to make the extra 5 incase these children turn up won't I?

I could assume 2 for example lost invitations....but surely no more than that? It's such bad form!

It Wasn't Me

Don't Be Cruel

I'll Tell Me Ma

If You Don't Stop

Gangnam up on me

OK, I admit I didn't read the whole thread before posting earlier. (Still haven't, but have read this page now).

MrsMushroom - wow you're rude! I can't believe the way you've addressed some of the posters, and ironically, on a thread about etiquette.

I had an album by the Wombles. I loved it. (In my defence I was about 6)

I wondered if I was making that^ up but google reveals The wonder of Wombling

DS had his birthday party recently. Out of the 25 children in his nursery class, 5 replied and 4 actually showed up. Yes, I was cross with the rude parents who didn't bother to reply. The invitations were handed by the nursery nurses to the parents as they collectes their children, there's no excuse.

Have only read the first couple of posts.

I have been guilty of not responding to party invitations. In my defence, in my DD's class, it has always been specified 'regrets only', so as a class, the expectation is that unless you say otherwise, you will be coming.

However, when it came to younger DS' class, they were all RSVP. Quite a few of us didn't bother replying, as we thought the 'regrets only' thing still stood.

Thought I would read the rest of the thread. I have tears rolling down my cheeks! Jaqueline, you are vaiy naughty!

Right so now we need a party play list we have atmosphere

Worra has added wombles and by sheer accident I think gangnam

Any further requests.

I want that superman song

Well, if we're only allowed rubbish music, what about Aga Doo?

Also, we must definitely invite coffeeismywine, even if she won't have time to RSVP, because she seems lovely! unlike the OP.

Can we have the Cha Cha Slide? And I want a party bag full of plastic shit or I won't go home.

RSVP by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.S.V.P._(Five_Star_song) Five Star]]?

Oh bugger, I messed up the links.

RSVP by Five Star

Or RSVP by Jason Donovan?

Yes coffee can come so long as she leaves some of those kids at home, I'm not sure my precious could cope with all that brood.

DS1 is 23. I am nominating him to be our designated driver is that ok?

I can supply, musicwise, the Smurfs christmas party slightly out of season

Shitfaced maryz

If DS1 is driving, can I be so shitfaced I boak out the side of the car and down the door and again when we pull into the drive and again on the front lawn and copiously in the toilet? because revenge is sweet

Only if you fall in it getting out the car.

Oh yes Maryz - the morning he or his mate had only made it as far as the kitchen sink is etched in my memory

Don't laugh but I miss those days and I'm looking forward to them again with the youngers. Getting up in the morning and not being quite sure how many zombie hungover people are going to appear from bedrooms and having them eat you out of house and home. And I do know I'm strange.

coffee is wanting zombie hungover people at her house - is this party turning into a sleepover at her house???
