[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure which is the right forum for this so move it if necessary. How have people dealt with inviting all the kids in the class vs only some kids to their major events? I can't imagine inviting 90 kids right off the top to a party and my D.C. Isn't friends with them all, of course, but also don't want people to feel left out. Advice welcome. And if anyone has discovered a good forum for discussing bar/bat mitzvah issues, I'd love to be directed to it. Thanks![/quote]

I think that rule stops applying when kids start changing classes.  So, unless you're in a tiny school where the whole 7th grade (or whichever grade your kid is in) moves from subject to subject together, I don't think it's an obligation to invite the whole grade.  If you've got 90 kids in your grade then hopefully that isn't happening.

I have heard that it's the norm to invite your whole Hebrew school class, but I don't know much about Hebrew school.

My kid got invitations to Bar Mitzvahs where he didn't know the kid at all.  For one, there was a picture on the invitation and he said "Huh, I didn't know his name was Noah."  For another, he went and came home and reported "I figured it out which Sam it was.  It was the one who sits on the other side of the room from me math".  He went, he had fun, but he certainly wouldn't have felt excluded if Noah or Sam had left him off the list. [/quote]
