[quote=Anonymous]This is a tough call.

I would invite the bully and be sure and have help at the party.  I don't think I would invite the parents unless you are including other parents.  The parents may be part of the problem.

It is tough to be the only one not invited--and, if the bully hears about the party--and knows he was excluded, I think it could work against the situation rather than for it.  I'm not just trying to be kind to the bully--I think it could encourage him to treat your son worse than he already has.

If you are looking to change the situation for your son by having a big party, it may not work.

For those who suggest asking other families, that might work, but it might disappoint you.  People who have older kids have busy weekends with sports, activities, etc.  A six year old party is not the same as having a party for a young preschooler.  I remember this kind of invitation when my child was young--but I had an older child who was busy with a recital rehearsal or something and it really put us on the spot.  My husband went with my son and I don't think the  mom was at all pleased that I did not come. (I had told her ahead of time that I would not be there.)  As long as your expectations are not too great, it's fine--but you need to decide if it will work to have some with and some without ahead of time.[/quote]
