When do you respond to kid party RSVP?
Show your support
I would response as soon as I know I have no plans on that date. I don't understand why you would leave someone hanging about a kids birthday party.
I respond as soon as I've checked if we're free. Typically the same day or within a couple of days. I worry I'll forget otherwisr
I would respond as soon as I see the invitation because I know I’ll forget! But when my son has his party some people didn’t respond for weeks and it really stressed me out. So guess everyone’s different
Some are right away some are later on. I send a reminder the week before
Did you give a timeframe on when to RSVP by? Usually I’ll put a date and say RSVP by “this date”
Usually if there’s RSVP there’s a date they want you to respond by
So.. more details: I gave the invites in her class on Monday to about 25 kids. I got about 5-6 responses so far (2 yes 4 no's). I don't have the contact numbers for most mums so I won't be able to remind. I did put a timeframe in, but was wondering if people would wait until then Vs responding immediately/ as soon as they know. I am a respond immediately kind of person and my anxiety is through the roof organising a kids party for the first time ever, my LO is turning 3!
my little one got invited to a bday party, the day i got the invitation i checked the calendar, text the mum and said we can make it, didn’t see the need to prolong RSVPing and felt the sooner she knows the better and then it’s done x
As soon as I know if we can/can’t go Don’t be one of those parents leaving a parent paying for your kid not knowing if you’ll turn up or not
9% doesn't even answer if they can't go. That's so rude. 👀 I would answer immediately or into 1 week max after having received the invite
I do it immediately, put it in the shared calendar and take a photo of the invite. If I don't, i forget/lose the invite. I have 3 kids, we get a lots 😅 We have two this Saturday, for two different children at two different locations, starting at different times, so it will be divide and conquer!
People usually let you know when they are for sure they will make it. But I usually send out a reminder to people who haven't responded a week before the party to make sure I have a head count for food.
Immediately. Last invite we got, I knew we were planning to be away that weekend but I also knew we hadn’t booked it yet. So I told the host both those things. I then updated her to confirm that unfortunately we’d be away.
Oh guys why are you not the parents in my daughter's class?!? That'd be so much nicer and smoother! Have to stress now for another month🥲
In my experience people normally let you know within the first week although a few might be later. I assume these are classmates?
