[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has been invited to several parties this year and it appears that the rule of inviting the entire class is no longer in play.  There are several first grade classes at our school and it appears that the norm is now to just invite the kids you are friends with.  Did I miss something?

Because the kids have friends and cousins and family outside of the class. My kids K class is 25 people. And people dont RSVP anymore so if we include friends from soccer, our neighborhood, preK friends we still have playdates with, etc it would be 40 kids. Now, not all 40 would attend but since people dont RSVP you have to keep it open and pay for all of those potential kids. Try finding a location that even allows 40 kids. And people expect pizza and juice and cupcakes and food for adults- to be available but lord knows only 30% of the moms that come to the parties will actually eat a slice of pizza and cake in front of others.

Furthermore, we will send something in to celebrate his birthday in class like donuts.
