Would it be rude to send a flyer to daughters class after birthday invite already sent?

I sent out invitations to my 4 yr old daughter's birthday 2 weeks ago and it is this sat. the 15th, and so far only one parent has said yes and one no. So would it be rude to send a flyer out just asking for a call so i can get a head count. because it is a bowling party and already have put deposit down? any one's help is appreciated.

I would send the flyer. People forget, misplace the invitation, wait until the last minute to RSVP. It's not rude, especially since it is something like bowling where a head count is necessary. I have received and sent out similar flyers, I never felt it was rude to receive them, and I never had any negative feedback from sending them myself. Send it.





Good Luck and enjoy the party!
Reply:i don't think its rude! i would do the same thing! be persistant, your spending the $$, so you have the right.
Reply:Please don't do that even if all the class has been invited. The invitations should have included an RSVP.
Reply:I don't think it would be bad at all it would probably be appreciated! I never commit to anything 2 weeks in advance! But maybe if you put a 'best time to call' on the flyer the parents will not be so backward about calling you to RSVP
Reply:first of all, you trusted the post office way too much.... you might try just talking to the other parents when you pick your kid up. on the other hand, they might resent that you gave them so little notice, plus what 4 yr olds bowl?
Reply:I think you'd better pick up the phone and make the calls yourself. If they're not responding to an invi, odds are that the flyer won't get you the good final count you need, either.
Reply:I assume at the age of 4 that this is pre-school or daycare? I would not send a flier, it's tacky.





I actually have a child in daycare, full day and we have received two b-day invitations, one was bowling, I was annoyed when I got it to be honest with you. This age I think is too yong to be inviting the entire class unless you know the parents.





If you had an RSVP then you have to hope either people show up and if not you have a lot of cake and lane time. Don't send a flier, you might ask ssome parents when you see them but tha't it. Next time stick to the kids you and your family know...not everyone until at least 1st Grade.
Reply:Was everyone in the class invited? if so, it's probably fine to send out a flyer. if not, no don't do it.


I have called parents in the past and asked them if junior will be coming. I don't think it's rude at all----most people understand.
Reply:well did you send invitations online or physical invitations? i mean if its physical then i wouldnt expect replies back but i mean i dont know what you could do in this situation? i mean should you call them? i mean if you know the parents well enough you should call. but if these invitations were online then you should send reminders. For example i have a baby shower to go to this sat. they sent us evites and i never replied to it even though i am going and they sent everyone a reminder evite to make sure they have answered with a yes, no, or maybe... so that reminded me and i finally answered.
Reply:Yes it would be embarasing next year when you send out invites put on there R.S.V.P.


and when you get the response back then you'll know
Reply:no would be fine people may have forgotten and would appreciate it, just be polite about it and dont sound angry that no1 has got back to you.
Reply:As a little memo, yes. It would not be rude at all. Tell you daughter to go to school and hand out the flyers and tell them to ask if they can come to her party. It would be completly acceptable.
Reply:This happens all the time - you send out invites and people dont reply and then just turn up, or say yes and not turn up or they claim not have received them! sometimes they can go astray especially at that age, so go ahead and send a gentle reminder, I have done it before! if you collect your daughter from school, approach parents direct and embarrass them by saying "by the way are you coming to the party?"
Reply:Talk to all of the parents in ure kids class to get anideaif they 're coming , and if that doesnt work ,CALL THEM!
