[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, my instinct was to just let it go.  but I wanted to double check it.  twin was in quotes b/c I haven't had coffee yet!  we live in a small town house so 1 extra person does make a difference.  we won't have enough seats for everyone etc and I thought it might be weird to have a kid at the party who doesn't know the other kids....but I am reminded now that at 6/7 you pretty much just play with whoever anyway.  so hopefully it will all work out.  
this is our first twin friend so we don't have experience with it--are twins just treated as a package deal until an older age?  if you invite one, you invite both etc?[/quote]

OP twin mom here: As the twins get older, they go their separate ways, and you are not required to ask both of them. But at a young age, they are used to doing things together. You obviously do not know them well since you did not know that DS friend had a twin. The flip side is that twin birthday parties are usually fun and a big event, so your DS has an opportunity to meet others in his grade. When we first moved here, many years ago, and did not know many people -- getting to know people -- some moms were pretty mean in telling me that "that OTHER twin is NOT invited!" (we don't have chairs...!) First impressions are lasting ones, and sometimes very accurate as well.[/quote]
