[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are these people who bring siblings? I have two kids, have hosted about 20 parties, and have seen this ONCE (and it was a foreign family). Never see it at the (constant) parties my kids attend, either. What area do you all live in where this is common?[/quote]
Same here. Who insists on bringing siblings because they can’t find a babysitter. My party is not your free time from your family. [/quote]

I haven’t really seen this either.  I do sometimes host (and attend) parties that ARE for the entire family, though.

I wonder if you sent out the invitations in such a way that it looks like siblings or both parents are invited, OP.  Maybe you put the parents names on the envelope if you sent paper invitations or did the thing on evite where guests have the option to specify how many people are coming.

I suspect it differs by school. At my daughter’s school, if you put the child’s name on the invitation, siblings don’t show up, but if you let people RSVP for whatever number and you just send the invitation to the mom’s email address without specifying, they assume the whole family is invited. And maybe they are? I’m never sure what the host intends by that.[/quote]

I think this is pretty standard everywhere.
