Explain, Please ...

Why is it, when I give people two freaking weeks to RSVP, they still fail to do it?

I'm coming down to the absolute wire with the kiddo's b-day party and still haven't heard from several people. At this rate, I'm going to have to send emails asking if they plan on coming. Which I hate doing. One, it makes me feel like I'm begging people to come to my kiddo's party. Two, I don't have email addresses for everyone we gave invitations to. Bleh. And double bleh.

I still have a day left. I guess, if I don't hear from anyone else today, I'll send out emails tomorrow. Well, to the people I can email, anyhow.
