PS's birthday party is Saturday. We sent out invitations a week and a half ago and asked for a response by yesterday. Of the 9 girls invited, 5 have said yes, 2 have said no, and 2 don't know yet.
WTF? What do you mean you don't know yet? Either you're coming or you're not. This party is in TWO days. And I asked for a response by yesterday.
It's a scavenger-hunt-type race around town. We will load up the girls into our two cars and run them all over town while they accomplish the tasks required by their clues. I need to know how many kids are going to be there because if it is more than will fit in our cars, I will need to have the nanny stay home with the twins. But if only the 5 who have confirmed show up, then we can include the twins and divide into two teams of 4, which works out perfectly. Argh--I hate making the nanny hold open her Saturday because people can't make up their minds. Not to mention I'm trying to plan for enough food and party favors.

Would you feel comfortable sending them an email and letting them know that you need an answer? i've done that before - but I always knew the parents pretty well.
Good luck! We did a scavenger hunt for my 12 yo's birthday, and it was quite successful!
That's tacky. "Don't know?" Really? I think you could probably just send an email and say that, because of logistics, you really need an answer ASAP.
I definitely would have emailed the moms if I had their email addys. Instead, I asked PS to check with the kids at school on Thursday, which is when she got the "I don't know responses."
Still haven't heard definitively and the party is at 3:00 tomorrow. I've assumed they aren't coming, and let the nanny go. Worst case, my car can hold 7 kids--but that would make for some lopsided teams since DH can only hold 4.
