I can see not allowing invites to be handed out at school unless the whole class is invited, but the school can't stipulate who you can invite to the party. Plenty of people can't fit 28 guests in their home or afford a giant party venue. Those kids can't have birthday parties? [/quote]

One of ds's teachers said that the only time invitations could be handed out at school was when the entire class was invited.

[b]Nobody can tell you you "have" to invite the whole class.[/quote][/b]

You're right if OP is in public.  You are wrong if you are in a private school that actually sets rules for this in the handbook.  Our old private did.  It was the entire class or nothing.  In upper grades, it could be all girls or all boys.  By the way, please don't have it on a Sunday.  Some of us actually go to church.  We finally had to just set a rule "no more birthday parties" because the Sundays were wrecked, kids had a sugar buzz on and couldn't finish homework, couldn't go to bed.  I'm sure Jews will say the same for Saturday, but in our case it was an episcopal private.[/quote]

Nobody asked about your timing preferences pp. The world doesn't revolve around you, your schedule, your church, and the inability of your children to control themselves. [/quote]

Actually, OP did ask about timing, in case she followed the rule and wanted to find a time to keep the numbers down. [/quote]

Perfect do it on Sunday so folks like the pp can't make it. [/quote]
