[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sent out my first evite to a mix of classmates, neighbors and family friends. I made sure children's names were listed. Family friends RSVPd with entire family - 2 adults 2 kids. Now multiple classmates are RSVPing with 2-3 kids.

I am going to go over my headcount of 20. I can probably pay $30 per sibling for a few but I prefer not. This ia drop off optional. These parents are bringing older kids and younger kids.

What can I do? Just take it as a learning lesson?

In the past, I did paper invitations and parents would ask about siblings.[/quote]

curious about this - if a parent offers to pay the cost of the extra sibling, is that fine?  [/quote]

I'm not OP, but I think that is insanely rude and puts the host at a disadvantage. The person offering to pay will most likely need to hand the check over to the host herself, which is weird and awkward and no way would I feel ok accepting that at my kids' party. On top of that, is the parent going to pay for the slice of pizza and cake? What about the goody bag? Does the one kid not get a goody bag or is that the host's job as well.

On top of all that, most places have strict limits on the number of people allowed, so even if you pay for your kid, that means one less spot for Larla's friend to attend.

If it's too much of a burden to drop your 7 year old off and pick them up later or find a carpool for them, then politely decline the invite. Your 4 year old should not attend.[/quote]
