[quote=Anonymous]We did a lot of small outing birthdays at that age: baseball game, Ripleys Believe It or Not in Baltimore, Hershey Park. Plus, if you do something out of the ordinary and exciting (more affordable with a small group) kids are more likely to come.

I’d contact the parents the same way you’d send them an invitation 4-6 weeks in advance and say something like “Hi, I’m Timmy’s mom from soccer. He would really like to invite Max to join us and another friend to celebrate his birthday. He doesn’t usually have parties so he’s really excited. Because it’s such a small group I wanted to coordinate on dates.  I was looking at either the afternoon of Oct 7th or 15th for a national games. Would either of those work for Max? We’d be so excited to have him.”

Especially if the kids aren’t close friends the parents will read between the lines and understand the situation and hopefully prioritize making it work. If you just send a random invite or ask about dates if the other kids don’t necessarily think of your kid as a friend they may just decline if they are busy.
