[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am apparently the outlier here but I would rather you come and stay at the venue with your toddler than for you not to come at all. The party is for my child--he is going to want as many of his friends to be there as possible. Who cares if a toddler is with their parents in another area of the venue? OP is aware that she needs to keep the toddler entertained and she plans to. I would even *gasp* give your toddler a piece of cake.

Why are trying so hard to make life more difficult for one another? Give the poor mom a break--she's just trying to celebrate your kid and is asking for nothing in return.[/quote]

The invitation specifically said no siblings. That is the difference.[/quote]

Reading comprehension - no it did not say no siblings. It didn't say anything about siblings (specifically that they were welcome). But at a public place a party host cannot dictate who else is present in the vicinity. [/quote]

Unless the invitation says, "siblings welcome," DON'T BRING SIBLINGS.[/quote]

Unless you've rented out the entire playplace for your party you have absolutely no control as to who is present. Good grief.[/quote]

When you rent a party room you do have control over who should be present. Don't bring your uninvited toddler in for pizza, cake, and a goody bag unless the host specifically tells you it's ok. Too many people just impose, but the host in an awkward spot, and then the toddler cries when there aren't enough goody bags or seats at the table[/quote]
