Theres 42 of them!
Not cheap. Told Mrs RSVP and no reply means not coming. I'm praying for a good few nos!
Remember when son was younger. Surely if you go to a party you but the kid a present? We always spend £10-£15 whenever daughter goes. I remember the number of people who strolled in with a 99p sticker still on the card. I did threaten to check presents at door with no present=no admission policy :-)
And dont get me started on those who say they're going then dont turn up - even though they know its cost you money.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

You don't realise how much people lack common courtesy until you try and organise a kids party
If they reply day before it'll be "sorry - too late" or if they just turn up then they will be able to pay to get their child in (without food) - its a play centre.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
