Last week I sent invitations to my son's birthday party in his school backpack. He tells me that he gave them to the 7 kids he's inviting and they brought them home. Now a week later not one parent has sent back a response even though it clearly asks for one on the invite. If you got an invitation to a party would you take the time to let the host know if you will be there? Yes

How quickly would you respond given that the party is in two weeks? Right away. Why keep someone waiting?

Not having any RSVPs has caused me several concerns. Please check off the ones that would concern you for your child's party (assume you have one). I don't know if anyone received the invites

I have to give a final head count to the venue in a couple days and will have to pay in full. I don't want to overpay for kids who aren't coming
