My daughter had a pool party this summer. I purposely kept the invite list fairly small knowing that most parents would absolutely want to attend even if their children were competent swimmers. Two parent approached me and said they needed the siblings to attend as well. I think one of them offered to pay for the sibling but I just told them everybody is welcome.

I think it's just very miserly to not include siblings.

I probably make a lot less money than compared to a lot of the people who post on this forum but I wouldn't dream of expecting my guests to pay to attend a party

I am hosting an all class party at a party venue. I don’t care about the $35 extra per sibling, I literally do not have the space. I can either accommodate siblings or a classmate.

We have a seven figure income and a large house. I originally wanted to have the party at our house but DH does not want 20 kids and their families in our home. A few hundred dollars for siblings makes no difference to us. I still think it is rude to bring uninvited guests to a party. I have 3 kids and do not bring siblings unless they are specifically invited.[/quote]
