[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this age, kids are still learning to build relationships and friendships. I would invite the whole class, a lot aren't going to show up. You can have this party at a playground. If you don't want to serve pizza then have it at 10 am or 3 pm kinda time, so you can get away with just some snacks and cake. You can still keep your 'fancy' party for close family and friends. [/quote]

+1. This early in the year you don't even know who her school friends will be at a brand new school. Not inviting everyone is just asking for an issue. I sort of hate the single gender party, but I do think you can get away with that if you need to to keep #s down... especially if your kid is the type that only plays with one gender. I think you can pick out 2-3 kids to invite, especially if you have a hook like knowing their parents/doing some outside of school activity with them, but more than that is crappy at this age (and, honestly, this early in the year the 2-3 you pick out are likely to be total misses for who she will later wish she had at the party).[/quote]
