Birthday party

So it’s my little girls 3rd birthday soon and we’ve sent some invites out to a couple kids that she wants to come to her birthday party for context she’s being investigated for autism and only feels comfortable around certain kids ect but the replies keep coming back as a no and I’m getting major mum guilt as she’s so excited for her birthday party as it’s the first one inviting her friends and I don’t have it in me to tell her people aren’t coming and what if no one comes? There is another little boys party the day after but my heart is just breaking for my little girl how do I approach this with her? Sorry for the bit of rant but I’m feeling majorly guilty and sad for her! 🥺

Focus on the people who can come and who you definitely know will make it. Repeat these to her when she's getting excited "yes Grandma is going to come, grandad is going to come" so when the party comes and they are there, she won't think so much of who didn't make it. Hope she has a fab day 😊

I would make the parents feel really guilty & say they are ruining your little girl's happiness & excitement at her friends coming to her party.

December is a busy time of year unfortunately. At that age I doubt they are even really aware that your daughter is different or the parents. Has anyone said yes? I have a son with autism and shockingly ssn parents are just as bad at replying and not inviting certain children. We had a party and only two kids turned up and my son was so upset. Thankfully the year after made up for it.

@Rachel bit harsh isnt it? They havent said no we dont like her, they could have prior commitments. Are you saying if your child had an invite to a friends party you would choose that over a family celebration? Just because people can go to the party the day after doesnt mean they are being nasty to posters daughter intentionally x

@Natalie unless they say why they can't make it, I would just assume they just don't want to.

@Rachel i never give reasons, if i cant make a childs party i just say sorry no we cant make it. Unless im close with the parent then theres no need to divulge my reasons. X

@Alice yeah that’s very true! She just keeps going on about her friends 🥺

@Karen no one has said yes yet some haven’t even bothered to reply to the rsvp!

@Rachel can’t say the mama bare in me hasn’t thought about this slightly 😂😂

Did you put a rsvp date on there? I get shes excited but like Alice said, focus on who is coming and whats happening at the party. When the day comes she will have so much fun she wont notice who didnt come, just those that did 🥰 x
