[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t hide the list. Make it’s very awkward for those of us to dance around the subject of “is this other person I know invited or not”. I hate it and prefer to just know if can or can’t mention the party [/quote]

Yep, this.  When parents hide the list, I always assume they are being exclusionary and don’t want people to know.  It also makes it more likely that I will decline if I would need a carpool because I don’t want to upset someone if it turns out their kid wasn’t invited. [/quote]

Agreed.  We are only inviting around half the class, or maybe slightly less, to our 1st grader's party, plus a few friends from other classes.  I already know of at least one parent who is trying to arrange a carpool for her DC because she will be out of town, and she said something along the lines of, "working to see if Larla's mom can bring!"  Those two kids aren't in the same class, she probably would not have assumed that Larla was invited.

I do also ask my DS not to talk about the party at school so that others don't feel left out, which he seems to understand.[/quote]
