We're having Matthew's birthday party at a kiddie sports center tomorrow. It's a lunch party, with pizza, hot dogs and cake that the place provides. I sent out invitations like 3 weeks ago. A few people didn't respond. Now I'm guilty of that at times, too, I admit. I misplace an invitation, or forget about it. But then I don't call at the last minute and say I'm coming.
I've had 2 moms call me today to say their sons are coming. Last minute. The RSVP date was a week ago. The sports center wanted a head count last Monday, and I gave it to them. I bought gift bags with party favors, and ordered the food. Luckily, I knew this would happen and got a few extra gift bags, but what if I hadn't? I'd be scrambling right now, and I'm going to play BUNCO for a girls' night out tonight and don't have time to prepare for this party anymore.
It's kinda rude to do that to people, don't you think?? But what am I supposed to say: No, you can't come? I just can't bring myself to do that.

RUDE! People can be so disrespectful. We've had our share of this with my in-laws.
BTW, the party sounds like great fun!
That does stink.
I do a halloween party every year for Andrews class. No one responds and then almost at the last second I get calls that people are coming. Not only that, but then they invite their own family and come and dont even tell me that they are coming.
I would put your foot down and say sorry, too late.
That is a source of aggravation for me.
