In some of these stories they did rsvp and still one one showed up.
Then they should get a deposit :)
Happened to my youngest son.
He’s got Asbergers.
Invited a bunch of people; bought a bunch of food, held it at a pool so the kids could swim. My son confirmed that classmates told him they were coming.
For the first 15 minutes, no one arrived. Then, one boy showed up. Justin lit up like a Christmas tree; they ate like kings, the boy grabbed a bunch of goodies, and said it was the best party he ever went to.
When it was this boy’s birthday, he invited a bunch of people, including my son. My son was the only one to show up. His mom was devastated but he was thrilled that my son was there.
Kids can be cruel.
After that, no more parties. We got bigger gifts instead and went out for dinner.
