Evite is for one kid, she RSVPs for 2, WTF?

That's why I use Paperless Post. It doesn't stop people from asking to bring siblings, but at least they have to ask and can't just choose a number from the dropdown.

You need to change the max amount of people to rsvp for to 1 kid. Evite has that function. I usually do for families I don't know that well. For some families I change max amount of kids to include all siblings.

I think it is rude, too, OP... sorry

I had this happen to me a few months ago. I texted or emailed a few people who rsvp'd with siblings. It was not a big deal. I said due to space restraints blah blah blah.

It does but when you do that it affects everyone, not just kids. PPs are right, it's a bad system. I might change my method next time around. Thanks guys, I really just needed to vent.

I am confused by this. If you're saying only people listed on the invite can come, then you're only inviting the kids you list. Are you saying you want the parents to get babysitters and come be your extra hands? If so, then you should probably list the parents as invited.

sue. Thanks for your RSVP. Unfortunately we may not have space to include junior as there is a max. I will have to get back to you when we know. Sorry for the confusion.

yawn. I'm so bored with these type of posts....

Pick up the phone and tell her the uninvited kid isn't invited.

Did your invitation specifically say sorry, no siblings allowed? I usually specify when I do mine. It was rude on her part, but IMHO, if you don't want siblings, specify that up front.

+1 That way, she knows you're fine with including junior if there's room.

My kids are a package deal, but people who know us know this. I do usually ask if siblings are welcome, but for some people it is assumed. Unless you specified siblings were not invited, I don't think it's rude.

It is rude to add a child when the invite specifies your other child only by name, and prefers to have a group of children the same age as the birthday child. It's bizarre to present your children as a package deal, by the way, unless you are a single parent who cannot afford a babysitter.

This woman RSVPs for both her kids. She did the same thing last year. So annoying! There is a max capacity at this place, if I reach it with the number of invited guests, how do I politely tell her not to bring her other kid?

You let her know by phone, so there is no doubt that she understands that ONLYbONE KID IS INVITED. I am so Damon sick of people bringing extra uninvited kids.

You are beyond rude and entitled. Personally, I wouldn't invite your kids ever if you bring them as a package deal.

How am I "beyond rude"? Package deal means only invite us if you can accommodate siblings. If you can't, then we politely decline. I don't find that rude at all, but maybe you had a bad day and needed to vent.
