This is so disgusting.....Honestly make a list of those who did not respond and group them into 'never invite' on your mailing list.
I hope women out there will read this, and know, that no matter where you come from, it is COMMON courtesy to respond either way.
This might seem mean but I didn't put the venue on invitations-then the parents had to call to find out where the party/event was being held-and i got a clearer idea of final numbers!
Sorry-just noticed this has been suggested before-at least I am not the only sneaky mother!

I ended up cancelling an outdoor event today (not a child's party as the thread title indicates but a gathering for grown ups) due to lack of response and have read through this thread trying to have the slightest understanding of why people do not RSVP and still do not have a grip on it - other than Gleeky saying she does the opposite of what I would call "regrets only" of an RSVP. There doesn't seem to be a solution!
