Regarding the birthday boy with no guests: One of the boy's relatives told me she thought there was a big soccer game going on in town the day of the party, so it's possible some of the kids went to that instead of the birthday bash. (although I can't imagine all of them did.) Perhaps the invitation didn't request RSVPs. Although my experience with my own kids' parties is that children & their parents often don't let you know if they're coming or not. Now, every time I throw a party for one of my own kids, I get so paranoid that nobody will come!
