[quote=Anonymous]I went through something similar for a party we recently hosted and I completely understand how tough it is to cut people from the guestlist. That being said a party with over 50 people is very different than a party with 20 people because you, as a host, have to really limit how much time you can spend with each guest. Also when you mix groups you have to make sure you have people that like to talk to new people and aren't just going to stay with their clique.

I would decide on an ideal number and then come up with a list of people that you truly want to invite. Then see if you are excluding a small amount from any one group. With neighbors in can be tricky but I settled on inviting less than half of my normal neighborhood crew.  I could fill the whole party with just neighbors but I wanted to have room to include school and work families. I also felt obligated to include some families that I haven't hosted in the past that I really needed to reciprocate over families that I'm friendlier with but have hosted multiple times without reciprocation. Since you have two parties you can also choose to make one more neighborhood focused and the other more school friend focused. [/quote]
