[quote=Anonymous]I would pick close friends and attend those or leave early/ arrive late and just tell the parents on the RSVP.  Also, can you carpool with another family?

We had some 30-45 minute away birthday parties so a friend who lived closed and I either one dropped off and the other picked up or I would do one party and she did another.  It was very helpful especially if you have multiple kids.  I would ask some parents you may know or live close to you and see if you an carpool for these parties.  Makes it a lot easier.  But make sure you do your part.  One family always took me up on my taking the kids to the parties but didn’t reciprocate.  Not once. I even asked “hey might you do the driving and party this weekend as I have a conflict.” They said no.  So I don’t drive their kid anymore and say we have another activity after or carpool with another family.

Parties will start to not be so often as kids don’t invite the entire class as they get older.  Your kid might also hear about it at school so how will that make them feel?[/quote]
