Now for my DS party last year and this it's been a stressful fest on the days leading up to it.. Last year kids parents didn't get invites and teacher handed them out. So was chasing mums down to see who was coming... this year had it at home and invited a few friends from school. And one was like do I need to reply??? Erm yes please... either i had to chase down mums and the rest told me could not make it as unbeknownst to me was another party going on in the yr below same day and time..
And another school friend lives 4 doors down, and was met with ill think about it and let you know when my child asked the father.. kids are good friends at school .

Now this family 4 doors down dont like me for what ever reason they have made up in their head, simply don't want to mix with the likes of me.. dunno what that means but ok..
Could be due to being a single lone mum or due to my NF1.. anyway kid never came.

Is it. Normal to chase folk even when you put RSVP on invite? Is it normal not to even reply and just turn up? Say i had no replies and said right we will go out thinking nobody was coming ?! Then have upset kids that im not there.

Next year im off out as this i can't be doing with.

Yep, normal!
I hated parties, same old every year.
Chasing people down for RSVPs, people saying yes but not showing up, people showing up and brining extras 🙄. Now we just take a friend out for the day and it actually works out cheaper.

Yeah there’s always a few you need to chase up.

Try every single person! Never again.
