[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is why I like to see it and make it public.  First and foremost, my kids have busy sports schedules and we usually like to carpool.  I've also occasionally done joint gifts with someone.  So good to know who is going.  Second, my kid had pretty severe social anxiety when he was younger.  We never declined in invite based on who was or was not going, [b]but it was helpful to tell him which "friendly faces" would be there and which kids he was a bit intimidated by would be there[/b].

For those saying they don't like the idea of a kid accepting or declining based on who is coming, I will say if a kid only wants to come to my kid's party  if the cool kids are coming or his closest friends or whatever, I would really and truly prefer that child declined.  I don't need to trick anyone into coming to my kids' parties.

Lastly, both my kids have had parties to which they were not invited mentioned to them by friends.  Now it might have happened anyway, but it may have been prevented if the guest list was visible and the kid knew my kid was not invited.

If your kid truly had anxiety, then it would acceptable to ask the host if any of Larlo's classmates would be in attendance by prefacing it with "I don't mean to be rude, he has a little anxiety around attending parties not knowing anyone, is there any of the boys' mutual friends that I can tell him will be there so he can expect a friendly face?". I would not be the least offended by this.[/quote]
