My daughter is having her 3rd birthday party this weekend at Chuck E. Cheese. I made the reservations about a month ago for the number of kids I was inviting. (At Chuck E. Cheese, you pay $9.99 per child, adults don't count). Anyway, I sent out the invitations a week and a half ago and I have not gotten an RSVP from the parents of 4 kids. I have to confirm the number of children 24 hours before the party or pay for the number I reserved spaces for.
Here are my questions: Should I call these people (or more likely have my DH call, they are HIS people) and ask if they are coming? or Should I just confirm the number of kids that have RSVP'd and if the others show up, tell them that they have to pay for their own pizza, tokens, etc.? I think it is really rude not to RSVP, as I RSVP as soon as I receive the invitation. I'd really rather not waste $40 on kids whose parents don't have the decency to decline or assume that we assume they are coming and just show up.
Any advice?
