Just wonder, how soon would you RSVP to a kid's birthday party invite? Few days before a party? Or just don't bother and either show up or not at all?

why would you not RSVP? the parents who are organising the party would probably really appreciate knowing how many people were going to turn up so they can manage the catering. i think it's just courteous to RSVP whether it's a kid's party or a grown up's party! :)

I think 2littlemonstors is not deciding to go or not to go but more on the 'not to go' side. Otherwise she wld hv said yes right away. We all have these feelings from time to time, be it an adult party or party for yr children. If there is a deadline on the RSVP, I would stick to it. If not, I would say at least 2 days prior the party. Most of time, parties turn out to be one of your best, especially for those you are not intended to attend at the start. Cheers.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea - IT IS ME who is waiting for the RSVP's. Invites were sent out almost 3 weeks ago and so far I've received 3 RSVP's to say they can't make it in the past few days. If it was me RSVPing then I would inform the party organiser within a few days of receiving an invite. Just want to know if others prefer to RSVP nearer the time of the party or no response - meaning they would be coming anyway.

Well 2littlemonsters, my reply still stands.... some are thinking what I have described. If you didnt put a deadline on RSVP, I dont think you will get very advanced notices. I would say, as a local, may be just 2 or 3 days before the party. Unless I know you well in person, then of course I wl ring shortly after I get yr invitation. But can you call all the parents to find out the attendance so that you can plan ahead? It wont be nice just waiting and dont know how many are coming and how many are not.

Thanks for the reassurance, Mighty. I just hope you're right about the late RSVP's.
Unfortunately, I didn't put a deadline as I wasn't expecting this to happen. A large majority of the invitees are locals so I don't know if it is common practice over here to RSVP very late. Yes, it is quite stressful thinking whether the party is likely to go ahead or not . Anyway, I will probably send out follow up notes next week with a deadline.
