writes:Backstory, good place to start I suppose:Just moved across town.Not many friends, but the friends I have are solid (ish)Anyways, invited a mess of people over for a party, I usually dont throw parties and the roommate was going out of town, and figured I'd jump on it. I really don't have many friends at all, so I invited all I had (really, all 4 of them) and being acquainted with their friends, invited them as well (via Myspace).Anyways, I was counting on at least a handful of attendees, but with finals and people going home, I got two. But what perplexes me, one friend didn't even reply, and her friend (who was very friendly with me) didn't reply either!I'm normally the type to work a smile pressed against the bottom of one's boot, and I suppose I'm looking to change.What do I say, politely, neither to encourage or discourage the answer given (I'm sure people have their reasons) but to just make aware the rudeness of their actions? None of these people are rude, by any means. And I'm 100% sure all emails were sent and received.

 dont cut yourself up about it, its no indication of who is or who is not your friends, you need to do as the previous person said and contact people with a call next time.

I'd suggest calling those who did not reply and say something along the lines of 'hey just checking to see if you recieved the invitation to my party since i havent heard back from you yet. would you like to come?'. By saying that, they will know they have done the wrong thing by not RSVP-ing.
Sadly, alot of people seem to be slack when it comes to RSVP-ing for parties. Especially when they are sent out via emails, text messages, online etc...
