It’s annoying! When you send a party invite and specifically ask if you can RSVP by a certain date and yet you still don’t hear a thing from the person – how rude is that? Don’t people realize how difficult it is to plan things when you don’t know if half your guest will even show up. Am I supposed to just assume they won’t show if they didn’t rsvp?
I sent out 14 invites to Kristen’s friends for her birthday and 4 turned up today (they had rsvp’d I might add). That means 10 mom’s didn’t even bother to tell me their child would not attend! Actually, 2 moms said they would be there and never showed up!
Regardless of rude people – Kristen still had a wonderful day today. Grandma and Papa came over yesterday afternoon to give her her present (they thought they would forego the noisey kids party – can’t say I blame them)
Meet Ben! Kristen’s new puppy from Grandma and Papa. He knows her name and grows too! She loves him.
Boo's not so sure! (urmm, Boo's the one on the right ;-)
As seems the usual these days we didn't get many pictures! But here's just a couple from the party.
We bought Kristen a Nintendo Game that she had asked for and also a Video Camera. She’s been using my old digital camera lately which takes a few minutes of video. She likes to take movies of herself and Boo, and laugh at them as she plays them back. We thought she’d like her very own Video Camera – it’s called Vidster.
The party was at Inflatable Wonderland from 3pm – 5pm. We just served cake and Icecream to the kids after they’d run around for an hour, then we let them run around for another hour to burn off all the sugar energy. Kristen opened presents then we had to pack up and leave the ‘party area’. The two hours went by quickly, but I was glad to get home. I'm sad that not many other kids bothered to come, but glad that Kristen still enjoyed her day.

Hello Denise,
Glad Kristen had a lovely birthday. What wonderful photos of the birthday girl too! She is a little Princess! Sorry that people were rude and didn't RSVP! Sadly people don't seem to be so polite these days. Any way, God bless and take care.
Hugs Verena-Maria xxx
We've been talking about the whole RSVP thing at school lately. One parent had invited 15 kids to a magician party and 13 hadn't RSVP'd. She ended up sending a reminder saying the party would be cancelled if there weren't enough attending. Sure enough suddenly everyone called to say whether they'd be there or not. I don't get why it's such a difficult thing to do - it's basic manners!
Anyway, looks like Kristen still had a wonderful time. It seems crazy that the girls are 7 already - I remember her 1st birthday party so well!!!!!
Happy HAPPY Belated Birthday to our Sweet Pal, Kristen!! ((BLOWING PARTY HORNS))
Hard to believe how fast she's grown. I still have that picture of the three of us on my fridge from our visit to you in MD! (plus her "big girl" picture you sent). I'll have to show Doug the pics from her party!
I'm glad you survived it!! What's next for you now?? Do you do any Christmas baking?? I don't think I'll get to much of mine this year so my family will just have to do with what little I can eek out when I get home!
I'll try & keep in touch while away. I'm home tomorrow (doing errands) and then I'll be 2 hours behind you (time wise).
Have a great day! Love ya xo
Hi Denise! Love the princess photo. I know what you mean about the whole RSVP thing. For Jessica's shower we put "Regrets Only" and then I second-guessed that decison. I know people don't like to have to call with excuses but they have to realize that you need to plan for the number of guests. Glad Kristen still had a fun day! (((Hugz)))
PS. Thanks for that link- I downloaded that program and will check it out. Looks easy. :)
sorry about the rude people. As I said in my email, it seems to be very common amongst mums to either not bother, or accept and not bother to turn up. It is SO RUDE.
I'm glad Kristen had a good day anyway :) Her first birthday piccie is just adorable :)
xx
Denise.. can't believe how big she is! I remember when she was just a wee little thing. She's so beautiful.. just like her Mom :)
