[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here- just wanted to say that this was incredibly helpful thread for me. I am a mom of K identical twins. Got an evite tonight for a b-day party and one twin's name was on it. Classmate knows both boys (smaller school and only identical twins up to grade 3 so are known for that). Glad for the tips on how to handle b/c this will be the 1st time only one twin was invited. I know uninvited twin will be upset (particularly b/c all his best friends are invited) but this will give us a good opportunity to start a tradition of doing something special one-on-one with him which we never get to do (there is also an older sib in the picture).

I'm grateful that they specified a name but would have emailed mom asking for clarification if they hadn't.[/quote]

I hate to fuel the fire, but are you sure this wasn't a mistake? If both twins really are both friends with the b-day boy, I can't imagine how crappy that would be to only invite one twin.[/quote]

I am not 100% sure but when I replied I said "Larlo will be excited to celebrate" instead of "Larlo and Carlo will be excited" and I just did a 1 yes. So I assume if she meant it to for Carlo and Larlo she will let me know. I happen to know mom. She is friends w other friends and we have seen each other in social settings from time to time so we have emailed before on other topics. The birthday child is a girl and they are only inviting 8 kids to a venue spot and it is a mix of boys and girls invited but all of them are just from birthday girl's class. I think they were just trying to keep things small.

I haven't told the uninvited twin yet but did mention to invited twin about the party. When I told him he was invited his first comment was "And Carlo?" And I said "No, just you." Then he asked "Why not Carlo?" and I explained that she only invited kids from their class. He wanted to know if Carlo could still come and I told him only if Carlo was invited but that if he wasn't then we would do something special with Carlo during the party. I thought it was super sweet that he was concerned about his brother. I am not looking forward to breaking it to Carlo.[/quote]
