A mother hosted an 8th birthday party for her child and required RSVPs to provide food tailored to children's dietary needs. Despite asking attendees to respond by a set deadline, two children arrived without prior RSVP, resulting in no food for them. The mother justified her decision, citing dietary restrictions and a tailored lunch box system that aimed to minimize waste. She sought advice on a parenting forum about whether her strict adherence to RSVP rules was reasonable, receiving various supportive responses from fellow parents.
"I also put on the invites that once I got an RSVP I would provide food options for their party food box - this was put on both invites: NO RSVP = NO food provided."
"It wasn't a buffet, it was tailored boxes due to allergies. I am not putting my niece at risk. It also cost me less than a buffet doing the boxes for everyone, and much less waste."
