I am having my daughter's 5th birthday party at an indoor splash park. She is inviting her friends from Kindergarten. Some of them I have never met yet. I want to include an rsvp on the invite, but I am not sure how to word it. I want to make sure they tell me yes or no and if they do say yes there child will attend that they really do attend. I want to be tactfull on how I word it because the admission price is a lot of money per child. I don't mind paying for it if people who say they are coming really do show up....Any ideas!!

Because this is an indoor water park, admission is required. Please RSVP no later than (date here) so that I may purchase the right amount of tickets. RSVP @ (phone number) or (email address)
Now, I would put this in a little note INSIDE the invitation because the parents are going to have to read them anyway. The kids could care less what RSVP means or stands for. It's the parents who are going to have the final say anyhow. Also.... if she is in Kidergarten, you should be able to get a phone number list for the students' parents from her teacher. About two weeks before the party, if nobody has RSVP'd or you are unsure whether that specific child has given their letter to Mom or Dad, just call them for a friendly reminder....
"Little Suzy is still having her birthday party on the (date) at (place). I didn't get an RSVP and was just making sure whether or not Timmy was going to attend...."
Hope this helps!

Make sure the RSVP is clear on the invite, along with the contact info. As someone else said, if it's friendly, they'll be more enticed to...
Anyone who doesn't RSVP by the date listed, call them and play it as you want to make sure the child got the invite... It's sad that you have to do that, but in today's day and age, it happens.

RSVP is all you need. Polite people will call, in some areas people just do not RSVP. Send invitations, wait a week & then call saying something like "I am checking to be sure "susie or whoever" can't come as I am ordering tickets & do not want anyone left out as my daughter wanting them to come".
I have called people I knew said they were coming & then did not send back RSVP only to find out they mailed it & it showed up weeks after event. Good luck & have fun!

GOOD LUCK. People never rsvp any more. I would say your only chance of a reasonably accurate count is to go ahead and put the rspv on the invite, BUT plan to call EVERY PERSON YOU INVITED the day you need to know, unless they already rsvp's for sure to you.

Tell the party place a few children under what you expect. You can always add a few, but you have to pay for thoes you say will come. That will help you with it. Then ad to the invitations, thoes who do not respond by (your date) will be considered a NO. Not much else you can do. Hope it all goes well!

If the card looks friendly, the rspv will too. Just put something like:
Make sure to let us know if you're coming!
Please let us know if you'll be attending!
Let us know if you'll be coming..hope to see you there!

Please R.S.V.P. by _____________ as to whether or not your child will DEFINITELY attend as we must purchase tickets for each individual child. Thank you.
