[quote=Anonymous]So here are reasons we didn't "reciprocate" a party - my kid's birthday is in the fall. If we do a party that year (and that's a big if, I've only done 2 thus far) we are mostly inviting based off of last year's friends since there hasn't been much time to settle into the new class. If your kid has a later birthday, and the kids haven't been in class together before, he/she would be unlikely to be invited and we wouldn't then know that you'd be inviting my kid.

But now, my kid has easily been to 25 parties this year. Only 6 of those children were invited to her party. And of those 6, only 2 were school friends.  I don't think she's gone to any where she had previously been in class with the child, gone to their party before, and then not invited them to her party. There were definitely at least 2 parties of kids she invited who didn't invite her.

For us, with a fall birthday, we tend to do venue parties and are constrained by budget/location as to how many kids can be invited. This year, the place had a 15 kid max. My kid invited 7 kids from outside activities and 7 from all 3 sections of her grade...[/quote]
