Party invoice: Boy sent bill for birthday no-show

The invoice is stupid, but it's damned rude to not let them know you're not coming after RSVP-ing. Especially with something with specified number: someone else could have attended in their place.
 
Birthday parties are serious business,
It's not a few jam sandwiches and running around the garden any more.

Wimmins have to compete with each other or they will get hysterical.
 
Well I hope she does take it to small claims court then she will be out of pocket the "Invoice Amount" as well as the Small Claims Court Fee as I would have thought the presiding judge/magistrate/whatever would laugh it out.

Completely agree. Just text them to let them know. As much as invoicing the kid is just ridiculous they could have let them know they weren't turning up...If my daughter couldn't go at short notice id offer to pay for her place as well.

Manners...goes a long way.
 
He says he had no contact details for her though. Whether this is true or not is something only he'll know obviously. The only thing we do know is that she sent him a bloody invoice for £15.95 for a no show at a kids birthday party. While she has a right to be annoyed that she's out of pocket because of it, a simple word with the parent on their next meeting more than suffices, and I'm sure any reasonable person would have given her back the money. I'd refuse to pay too if somebody went about it like this.
 
Kids don't show up at other kids birthday parties for a number of reasons. It happens, move on. How ridiculous sending an invoice to the parents for a no-show.
 
You cant be invoiced for a service you have not invited to provide or indicated you wish to attend.

I could invite all of MUFC for an all expenses paid buffet lunch and then when nobody showed up send them invoices for 10k each otherwise.

Stupid woman.
 
Why is she 'out of pocket'?
That suggests either she has had to pay something extra becuase he didn't go, or the guest was supposed to pay when attending.
If neither, then nothing more than annoying. The cost would have been paid and been the same whether or not he attended.
I'm assuming she paid upfront and it's unlikely the place would have refunded the cost to her on the day.

On the DM website (someone linked to it in another thread) it said the venue offered to give her credit at the bar for the amount.
