Party and people not turning up

[bumpy_j]

Sounds clear to me bumpy

Maria's party is on Sunday but half the kids in daycare are off sick, I hope her friends get better in time!

Aw no! Fingers crossed! Sunday is still a while away

Some of the mums have started to create a watsapp group for the mums whose kids have been invited to their party...seems to work. Most, if not all, the mums of the same school year (from DD school) are in a watsapp group that was created at start of year. However, I find that the mums then create a party inviitation group to inform that group of the party an I think it serves it's purpose well!

My daughters party was on Saturday. 15 from thw class had replied to say they were coming. Of them, 13 came and two little girls were ill. One boy turned up whose parents hadn't replied. (we had made more than enough sweet cones, as we knew siblings were coming and others from outwith school)

he invited some class mates and people in the estate. I think one will defo come as his mums said yes. But only one rsvp. Parents are strange here they dont let their kids out to play

No rsvps here either but I think everyone I invited is coming

I think it's fine notice for something like a soft play centre or a party at home, but you'd probably struggle to find an entertainer or venue that wasn't booked.

Well the neighbour boy has just gone and invited himself to tomorrow's party and said he'll bring his little sisters - OH said ok before I could say no so now I have to go find more party bags!

 

[bumpy_j]

So we've had twelve yesses, one maybe and one no from his class, which means over half haven't replied still (with the deadline tomorrow) but at least it's a good number! I've ordered enough party bags for 18 children (three more are coming from outside of school) and hopefully we won't have anyone random turning up on the day...

Have to go to the shop anyway, need to get some fromage frais to stiffen up the cake filling as the melted chocolate turned the whipped cream into liquid

Thankfully 3 kids turned up from the neighbourhood, none the school ones but he was happy enough.

Everyone came (apart from the neighbour kids that invited themselves! I think their mum must have told them they can't come as they weren't properly invited) but god, it was horrid, Maria was so badly behaved, screaming and crying literally half the time. The kids were lovely though.

Awwww hahah bless Maria probably kinda crazy seeing all those people coming for you! Awesome you had a good turn out though.

 

[bumpy_j]

Woooohoo it went really well! No surprise guests, almost everyone showed up who said they would and had a turnout of 15 Joel absolutely loved it.

 

[Natsku]

Ah that's great!
