[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people are really uptight. I have three children, 12, almost 7 and 4. There have definitely been times one has been invited and I couldn't leave one or both at home. I took them, paid their way, all good. It's a PUBLIC venue.

My son's 7th birthday is next weekend at a trampoline park. I didn't add anything about siblings on the invite but a few parents asked and I just added them to the rsvp. The venue allows it and we could accommodate financially so no biggie. We always make sure to have extra goody bags and extra food at our get togethers so it's never something where I'm counting down to the exact slice of pizza or cake 🙄[/quote]

My problem is that im too inclusive. I want to invite our neighbors, our family friends, our preschool friends, friends from soccer, friends from swim team, etc. so we have too many people. I always try to pick venues with a lot of people and every party we have, we have a hard time cutting the guest list.

I’m throwing 2 parties. One party I invited too many people thinking some would decline. Almost every person is coming. I have not sent out an invitation for the next party. I’m thinking of doing only close friends. I think some kids will feel bad since we have invited them every year and they are in my son’s class. I have a space problem.[/quote]
