We are throwing a birthday party for our son this Sat.  We sent the invitations out 2 weeks ago.  There are still 4 people we haven't heard back from.  My husband wants me to call them.  I don't think for a 6 yr old aprty I should have to hunt down the people who didn't RSVP to see if they are coming.  What is the right thing to do?

 

If you really want them to come, you should call them. If you don't care whether or not they attend, or don't mind being surprised if they show up, then don't call.
