The NYT has written extensively about this, as well as potential strategies for dealing with it–follow-up calls/notes/emails, utilizing FB pages with yes/no/maybe. Personally, I think it’s rude, and more to the point, thoughtless. People no longer consider it obligatory to RSVP. Ken

A good rule of thumb with regards to birthday parties is to let your child invite one friend for each birthday year. Your little three year old wouldI invite three friends.

Fun for him and much less stress for the entire family!
