[quote=Anonymous]Daughter's birthday is around the corner and she has decided that she wants lunch with friends and to see Beauty and the Beast. This seems fine with me and my husband and we agree that she is only to invite her closest friends that she actually plays with at school and also socially with the families as well. 18 kids it is.

Here is my concern:

How do you word the invite to let people know to drop off their kids and not have them also stay with siblings? The lunch is at a restaurant that is near the theater and the movie tickets are IMAX that I need to purchase in advance because they are assigned. The restaurant can only accommodate the kids plus 6 adults. I will be there with my husband, niece and a few cousins to supervise.

I know its a popular movie and many parents and siblings want to see it too. We have a few parents that ALWAYS linger with many extra kids and even extra relatives (Nana) have come in tow before. Huge problem when there is just enough gift bags and cupcakes and six extras show up!

Help! Not trying to come across as being cheap or rude but we don't want this gargantuan event with people we didn't invite. This also cause problems for me when other people bring their kids and then my family sees pictures online and their smaller kids weren't invited.

Party planning is stressful![/quote]
