It's next weekend and I really need a count. I'm going to send out a email to most of the family's to see if they're coming. Can anyone help me with how to word this email? He's turning 4, so it's going to be sent to the mom's. I made all the invitations out to The X Family.
Serious answers only please. Thanks!

I should say we put on the invitations "no gifts please." Also, I gave them my cell phone number and email address.
And to address someone elses question, I always let people know either way if we'll be attending their child's party.

"Hi there...just checking to see whether or not you were planning on attending """ party. I'm trying to finalizing up last minute plans. Thanks!"

Most people don't believe in RSVPing to parties involving a 4 year old. However a phone call would be most effective.
"Hello, this is..... I was checking my list and don't recall seeing if you had said that you were coming to the party...."
Let the conversation go from there.

How are you with the RSVPing? Sometimes other parents will act accordingly. There was a girl in my daughters class that didn't go to any parties, so when she had hers, NO ONE showed up. Next year she was at every party.
Wait until the RSVP date passes, then call everyone and politely ask.

It sounds like you have already done your part. Rather than send an email, (you don't know when they will see it), can you telephone them instead?
Just explain the situation and ask them point blank, "Are you coming?"

Call them, and ask them if they've lost their rsvp cards, then ask if they are coming... tell them you need to know asap...

If they haven't responded yet, I don't think e-mail will get them to answer.
Call them, one by one, and ask if they are coming.
I'm sorry they were so rude about this!
