[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people who think it is "bitchy" to not exclude anyone and not be "rigid". My DD had a Sweet 16. It started out as a low key 40-50 ppl at most (boys invited as well). It was at a hotel ball room. My DD had been saving $ to help pay for it and has saved $400.Well anyway... the list started out at like 45 ppl.  And one more person was added here, and a +1 was added there. And then before we knew it there were 350 teenagers in the Marriot ballroom. We had an RSVP so that we could know about the food (we catered ourselves :P) but good lord. It was an experience. I know this is a bit of a different situation but, just realize that sometimes adding one more person creates a slippery slope and before you know it you may have the entire class (or in our case, a large amount of MG county youth) at an even that you only planned for 12 (or 50).

That is insane. It's not your daughter's fault that you have no backbone and let the guest list increase by about sevenfold. 
45 people "plus just a few people" does not equal 350 people. Be the adult and say NO.[/quote]

Are you Saudi royalty? 50 people in a hotel ballroom is "low key?" - then you 350 people slide in? WTF. INSANE[/quote]
