Whatever happened to the RSVP?

I need to rant. Why does society think it is OK to not RSVP to an invitation?

I realized like 6 years ago society has forgotten how to RSVP. I stopped having birthday parties for my kids cause I was sick of it. But I thought this year I would let me son invite 5 school friends to a special party that is costing me a pretty penny since it is his last year at this school.

Guess how many RSVP’ed. THREE!

Two weeks ago I had my son ask the two kids I didn’t have an RSVP for to ask their parents and have them email me. Crickets.

One of the moms I know so was able to message her. She replied it was Father’s Day and she was working and her husband hadn’t replied to her yet if he had plans or not. Oops, my bad didn’t check the calendar when I booked the event.

However, it is now Saturday night (the party is tomorrow) and still no RSVP for these two kids. Pisses me off.

If someone invites you to an event you should at least have manners and RSVP to let them know if you can attend or not. Events cost money and most are a minimum attendance.

This also happened for our wedding. Our venue only held 45 people. We had to piss off a lot of people due to limited space. Only 20 bothered to show up.

My kid will enjoy his party with the two who did RSVP and can attend. But I am paying for five.

Back to no birthday party’s after this year and instead of having special family days that the kids pick.

Thanks for letting me rant.

RSVP
Spread the love!

⁣Since April my Nana has been battling cancer. She peacefully passed away yesterday afternoon. I am so grateful for the time my children had to know her. You will be missed Nana. We are comforted knowing you are no longer in pain.
I know I am not alone when it comes to worrying ab I know I am not alone when it comes to worrying about what to do this Halloween with the kids. Some are choosing to still go trick or treating. Some are looking for alternatives.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am one of those looking for alternatives. Due to many reasons our family has taken this pandemic very seriously. We are sticking to our bubble are are children are remote learning. Going trick or treating in the eyes of my husband and myself defeats everything we have done to stay safe.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I came upon quite a few great ideas for the kids to celebrate Halloween this year while remaining safe and not bursting our bubble.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
