It is my son's 3rd birthday party on Saturday and 2 people have not RSVP'd at all. Problem is that I do not know them. His nursery gave me a list of children he plays with and they distributed the invites so I don't even know what the parents look like. And I can hardly ask a 3 year old if he is coming or not...
Would you cater for the "just in case"? I just think it is so rude when we don't even know each other to not reply. And I would not dream about turning up if I had not RSVP'd. But then again, if they do turn up and there is no party bag or no seat for them then it is the kids that will be punished which is not fair. Unfortunately I have gone over-board on party bags and the catering is per head so it will cost a lot extra to have a "just in case" for what could potentially be 6 extra people (at a party of 25) or even more if they have siblings as well.
What would you do? Any advice welcome.
Lesson learnt is to never invite people I do not know personally again :-)
