[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“We don’t do any sleepovers” is Lenny if said in a friendly way, and then immediately pivot to the positive thing. “…but Larla would really love to help Darla celebrate that evening! We can just pick her up at x:00. Thank you so much for inviting her!”[/quote]

The one thing I'd say as the parent hosting the sleepover is let me pick the pick up time.  It's way easier to have that transition at a transition point.  So, I'd rather be able to say "Can I call you when I know what time the movie will end." or something, rather than having a kid pulled out in the middle, or awkwardly having to entertain you because you arrived when the kids were in the middle of a giant nerf gun fight and yours doesn't want to leave.

So, I'd say "We don't do sleepovers, but Larla would love to come for the evening.  Is there I good time I could pick up between dinner and bedtime?" [/quote]

I understand why you don't allow sleep overs but I have found picking up a kid to be disruptive to the party.

Just politely decline the party[/quote]
