Just make boring chit-chat. Which kid is yours? Mine is the one in the green sweater. What are you doing for the holidays? Oh, happy hanukah! That sounds awesome - I've never been there but have heard excellent things. Are you seeing the Wonka movie? I want to go see it.

Stuff like that. [/quote]

I respectfully disagree. She is welcoming your entire family for dinner. The right thing to do is to bring the bday present and a small thank-you-hostess gift. Especially if you want to make a good impression.[/quote]

NP. No one wants to deal with a hostess gift (or several) while dealing with entire families at a birthday party. Bring a nice gift. Be a good guest. Send a text after the party thanking her inviting your family and let her know you had a great time. If some of the food was particularly good, say so. That sort of thing. [/quote]

I have always had huge parties for my kids birthdays, inviting the parents and the siblings  too.  If you are feeling particularly grateful, buy a nice gift, include a gift receipt and make sure that you have written your child’s name and your name clearly on a card that is secured well. Name tags get lost very frequently during parties.

Even better if your card itself has the particulars.

Dear Ron
Thank you for inviting me  to your birthday party. I hope you like your Rover 5000 quidditch broomstick. Many happy returns of the day!
