This is crazy..What am I going to feed the 4 kids?!
hmmm, either 3 fish and 1 poultry or 4 fish!
yikes - I hope you love them.
why do people do this? i hope you call them and tell them that they cannot bring 10 people! (unless you invited them, of course - but it doesnt look like it). i HATE it when people do this…why are they so rude???
Miss Bell Pepper that is my nightmare? Please tell us who these people are (I’m hoping they’re family and that all 10 were invited, or that you just said - I
Wow - I think you just need to call them. It’s like a cryptic code or something. Hmmm..maybe they want a call anyway! 
Are they indicating that their children don’t eat fish or poultry OR veggie meals? Maybe you’re supposed to find a rack of lamb for them.
Is this 6 adults and 4 kids in one family? In a family like that do they really make accommodations for the little kids? don’t they all just eat the same thing?
I’m really hoping that you were expecting these people to bring ten guests…. I’m confused - four kids and six adults on one invite?
Anyway, I’d check with your caterer and see if they do kids meals if you’re concerned that the fish/poultry/veggie options that you have aren’t kid friendly.
If on the other hand, you weren’t expecting them to bring all those people, I’d have the mother of whosever guest list that’s on (or you if it’s your friend) call and gently remind them that the invite was really only for ___ and ___, or whatever.
Good luck!
when my sister got married a very distant relative rsvped with 7 people. luckily she had my mother play the tough guy and she worked it out. but if you only intended to invite the people named on the invitation, then you should call and say thank you for responding, but unfortunately you won’t be able to accommodate all of them. you only intended to invite the guests you addressed on the envelope. they wouldn’t have a right to complain about it.
oh no they didn’t.
Find out from your catering vendor if they offer a kids option. Usually its cheaper than the standard meal and more “kid” friendly.
The pic of your RSVP did make me laugh
Ditto–if they’re not invited, be sure to call them and let them know. I have no idea why people assume they can add guests!
If they were invited, and you don’t have a kid’s menu, it is not up to you to create one now. If the kids can’t eat chicken, tough luck! Explain this to the parents, so they can bring something their children will eat.
I agree with LZB. Check out your venue. My venue offers a kids meal that’s a 1/3 of the price of the adult meal. Luckily the chef is willing to make chicken fingers.
Seeing an RSVP with 10 people would definitely scare me!
:O
4 kid meals (venue probably does some sort of kid meal of pasta r something), 5 adult fish meal, and 1 poultry meal. I sure hope you intended to invite all 10 of them.
If not, some people have serious nerve. Unfortunately, if you’re not expecting them, you really have to call and just say that you apologize for the confusion, but unfortunately you can only accomodate x number of people.
I know if one of my family members did that (and I allowed it, which well, no), word would get out and others would call and expect the same accomodation!
Wow that is hilarious… well perhaps for you the hilarity will hit later. Did you invite the 10 people? If not, I’d have someone call them and explain that there is limited seating and only X amount of space was reserved for them. I couldn’t do it myself because I’m very bad at hiding how I feel when I think someone is stupid. If you did invite all 10 and you didn’t have kids menu setup, you can talk to your caterer or just call up and ask.
Oh please let us know if you actually invited all of those people. That makes me very nervous!!
It’s quite clear: five want fish, one wants poultry, and four are cannibals. Or maybe they want goat. Now I am confused.
LOL, the comments are really funny…generally a kids menu is an option at the venue with hot dogs, hamburgers, and everything unhealthy….if it’s not an option at your venue, I say, feed them what their parents are eating…or if you don’t really want them there, just count them in for dessert! =) I am so sorry you came upon this…
