What age would be the cutoff?[/quote]

I'm a twin dad.  You need to invite both up until about 1st grade, maybe 2nd grade.  By first grade, they should start to have their own group of friends and should start to understand (or their parents need to teach) that one twin being invited does not include the other twin.  I'm with triplet mom.  I would never bring my twin or RSVP for both unless both were invited.

I, personally, would extend higher, like about age 8 and grade 2, but after first grade, I would say that the second twin need not be invited.

For the mother who RSVPed for both, if there are limited slots or you are at a venue where additional children cost extra, it is okay to respond that Larla was invited, but siblings are not included.[/quote]

Curious why you think that parents “need” to invite both twins if the birthday child is only friends with one of them? It’s crazy that some parents of multiples can feel so entitled that they can demand anything from others that are simply outside the bounds of usual social convention.

You can’t demand or state that you “need” an invitation from anyone!! Sure, you can ask, just like parents have asked if the sibling can attend for any number of reasons (child care, single parent, etc). [/quote]

This. Twins need to individuate, not always be treated as just part of a larger whole.[/quote]
