[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I don’t understand what is wrong with the idea?
Kids are allowed to bring treats for their birthdays. I believe they are handed out at the end of the day but I don’t really care when- they are allowed. How are goodie bags different?
I want to do this because we have been invited and went to several parties so I feel bad we won’t invite these people back.
My kid doesn’t want a party because, well, he just isn’t a very people person. I asked him if he wanted a bigger party at a venue, a small home party (1-3 friends) or a getaway at a hotel with a pool and jacuzzi. He chose the latter and this is honestly what I will enjoy the most so why not.

I don't have any expectations that a child invited to my sons birthday will invite him to their party. Kids friendships are flexible and someone who is a best bud today might not be someone they talk to in 6 months.  I suspect my sons birthday party list will look very different this year then it did last year. If people have expectations that all birthday party invites are fully reciprocal, that is on them.

I leave goody bags for the party but that is my choice. Our school options are limited this year by his teacher and I am cool with that.

I would think about what has happened in your child's class room. Has he brought home a birthday goody bag from school for other kids birthdays? If not, I would forgo the goody bag. The idea isn't strange, it really ins't that different then a treat, but I wouldn't do it if it is out of the norm.
