[quote=Anonymous]Once I had a whole class party and I was already at 24 without my other children, so I rented a community center and hired a performer. We worded the invite “siblings welcome, let us know so we have enough cupcakes!” And we ended up with 36 - a mix of neighbors and siblings.

Other times I’ve had a strict limit of 20 per the venue and I extended invites specifically to siblings for 2 neighborhood families who invite both of my kids to both of their kids’ parties. I also “save” 1-2 spots just in case someone asks even though I put a note on the invite that said something like “unfortunately no siblings, we’re tight on space”. So no, I didn’t allow siblings for ALL families but I was prepared in case someone reached out to say it was an issue.

I think it’s fine to include or exclude siblings if you communicate clearly. I also think it’s ok to ask if you do it politely and accept the answer might be “sorry, but no”. The only thing that’s rude is rsvp’ing for 1 and showing up with 2-3 kids. [/quote]
