[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years ago, we had a MyGym party and had written No siblings please on the invitation cards (no evites). I still remember one mom picking up the card from the cubby and giving it to her older child who had come along to pick up the younger one (who was in my kid's class in preschool). The older one after opening it right there said "Whaaat? No siblings" and pouted and the mom shook her head and all of them walked off. They did not come for my kid's birthday party either.

I had chosen a package for 20 kids and we reached that limit. I would have gone out of my way if it was child's close friend but not for classmates.[/quote]

She could have just as easily been shaking her head in disgust at the kid's whining, not your invite.  And there are a million other reasons she might have declined.  Even if it was because of the no siblings, she might not have been upset at you.  I was solo last weekend and watching both kids.  If the younger one, who is too young for drop off, had a no siblings party I would have to decline because I had to also be with my older kid.  That's life, but I'd still think the no sibling invite was fine.[/quote]
