[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that no, it is not okay.  But these questions always remind me of when my kids were in preschool.  Most invitations were silent regarding siblings so naturally, I brought my one invited child.  I would get to the party and it would be swarming with siblings and sometimes TWO parents per family and the entire party I'd have people asking me, "Where is [uninvited sibling]?" and I'd just say, "Home with [DH]."  But so wanted to say, "I left him home because the invitation DID NOT SAY SIBLINGS WELCOME!!!"[/quote]

I have a 3 and a 1 year old and everyone wants to know where my DH and 1 year old are. It's for sure a problem. [/quote]

So "everyone" doesn't matter.  You will need to find out what your group's rhythm is.  My youngest son had a tight group at pre-school and the first time I went to a party without my oldest son, the host was like, "uh...where is Larlo?".  OUR GROUP established that siblings were always welcomed, just RSVP accordingly.  I agree that depending on the group, you never know, but it is ALWAYS safe to err on the side of NOT bringing you other child(ren).  My youngest was almost never invited to parties with his sibling, but my oldest was almost always invited.  So it just depends.[/quote]
