Look, kids are already talking. If kids already know about a party, and whether or not they were invited, and several days later an invite arrives, it is known. If you're pulling B list shenanigans then just be honest about it instead of pretending people can't figure it out.

Kids talk about it after the party. It’s usually parents talking about it before. I guess it depends on age. My point is reduce the awkwardness when I send out the B list. Besides that, it no one’s business who I invite.

I show the guest list when it’s not a whole class party - specifically so that other moms don’t assume it’s whole class and ask to car pool with people who aren’t invited and inadvertently cause me drama.

You don't have kids apparently. Or they are 3 years old and you have no idea what you're talking about. You're not reducing anything, you're just being weird hiding a list and having "B" lists to begin with.
