[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm hosting a party next weekend and for the first time I wrote  "no siblings" (in a nice way) because I was tired of having people ask if siblings could attend every other year. I felt like the a**hole saying no, but they were the a**hole for putting me in that position. If I said yes to one, I had to say yes to all and we had invited 20 something kids already. So far no one has asked, but we'll see if anyone just shows up.

I do always put the invited child or children's name on the invitation so people know who it's addressed to. I found that people didn't always pay attention to that, though, so that's how I ended up with the "no siblings" note on the invite.

There are a million threads touching on this and people are split, so you won't find a consensus here. [/quote]

I completely agree with you on the sibling thing.  If my girls were different ages or never had interactions with the birthday child then I would NEVER ask if they could come.  In this case, the uninvited twin (or maybe not, since there were no names on anything, just postcard-like invitations slipped into backbacks) actually knows the birthday child because they're in the same grade and the activities would be appropriate for their age since they're the same age as the invited sibling.  I think people asking if a seven-year old can come to a three-year old's party are odd, but maybe I'm splitting hairs in my own favor, I don't know.[/quote]

So she knows her. Who cares. Do you think she invited every single person she ever said hello to? Just because (even if) she played with your kid once, doesn't mean she has to invite her to her party. Holy moly.[/quote]
