I invited people for game night.

I invited about a dozen local friends to a monthly game night at my house. Two responded yes, two responded "definitely maybe if we don't have other plans." Two can't make it because of school commitments. One would like to come sometimes. Silence from the rest so far. I guess I should send them a ping and ask for an RSVP by next Wednesday so we can plan appropriately, but that feels so pushy.

So I've made my move; now it's up to other people to respond.

Asking for an RSVP is totally appropriate; I usually ask for dietary restrictions as well, if I'm going to be providing food.

good luck! it's so hard when people don't commit to anything anymore.

I've also discovered that when there's a reason to celebrate, the response rate is higher -- i.e. a birthday, New Year's Eve, Halloween, etc. Even Pi day is a great reason for a party (3-14) or leap year.
