I would put the names of those who have accepted on stickers and when they arrive get them to point to the name with the sticker. If there is no sticker let them know that they are welcome to come in but no party bag or food.

I think adding a message on to invites such as 'No RSVP No admittance' is now required for such things.

I think the name badge idea is excellent and tough luck to all those who's parents didn't RSVP but bought their children anyway. The parents can explain why they didn't get food and a party bag as this was their cock up not yours OP.

Any chance you could use punctuation please OP? That was very hard to read.
