Hello my child is having a joint 8th party in the middle of August (party people we have chosen are extremely popular hence why we've booked so far in advance) deposit was paid a few weeks ago, stupidly, after we'd already booked I started worrying that no one will turn up as they will either be away or will forget so i looked up some threads online mostly confirming my worries and now I can't even sleep because I'm so worried! Other parent is adamant that everything will be fine and doesn't want to change it as its smack bang in the middle of both children's birthdays so the perfect date. If I send invites out 2 weeks before they break up for school (which will make it 5 weeks before the party) to give people chance to reply before school ends and to ask for a rsvp before school is over and however many yes replies we get to send a reminder message to those parents a few days before the party do you think this would sound kind of rude or would you be ok with that if it was you? I understand people go on holiday but assuming not everyone will be away at the same time, it's more the fact that people might forget that's on my mind the most. Please give me some successful stories of parties in the 6 weeks holidays 🙏 I can't believe I didn't think of it before I paid towards it, it wouldn't be a problem if only half say showed up but I keep having visions of no one coming at all and my poor girls face, she would be so gutted
