I planned a birthday party for June 2, for my daughter who will be 5. We handed out invitations to all her school friends (17 of them) last Friday and we have not gotten one response! This is my first time planning a party with friends and not just family, is this normal? I think I’m just a little nervous from all the stories about kids not showing up to other kids parties. I would be devastated and I know my little ladies heart would be shattered!

Oh no!!!! I’m so sorry. We have been to three of her school friends birthday parties and there were only 2-3 school friends there including my daughter
In my experience most wait to RSVP closer to the party date. Hopefully that’s the case, and a few do come!
Girlllll we live in the same town!! I would just give it a few days and see what happens.
Really?!? Does your 4 year old go to preschool??
@sseaman0323 no mam he didn't need it as he was tested for it
It can be a headache. I did the same last year and only a few showed. Especially if its a party at home it is tough to have parents agree.
Summer is also a time where people may be away and dd has her birthday during that time so we gave out invites way in advance. Just before the last school day.
Just have fun either way. Dd still had a few friends and we had a blast.
I’m honestly fine with just a couple. We’re doing chuckee cheese, so if all 17 showed up the bill would be WAY higher of just a few did lol
@sseaman0323, as long as the most important people are there💗🤷🏻♀️
Can you contact the invitees and ask if they plan to attend?
@sseaman0323, really? I feel it’s weird to expect kids to give their parents invitations 😂 I would not expect my 5 yo child to tell me ab a bday invitation and then remind me I needed to RSVP
@phoebesmommy, huh? I’m not expecting any 5 year old to remind their parents. The invitations were put in their cubbies labeled with their name, which most parents grab from when picking their child up. I’ve received 3 invitations, and remember all on my own... not sure I understand your comment.
@sseaman0323, ohh that makes more sense. You said you handed out invitations to all her school friends so I imagined she passed them out.
my daughter celebrated her 5th birthday in April. invited her whole class... no one showed up and 2 RSVPd.
