[quote=Anonymous]I had this happen to me with one of my children's parties this year.  It is the first year we "officially" threw a party and invited preschool friends and such.  I specifically addressed the invites by name to the child in the class.  One mom RSVPd for both her kids.  I was super annoyed b/c it was a flat rate up to a certain point and every kid after that cost money.  I was okay with going over one or two people but wasn't anticipating siblings when I estimated.

Before we had the party, I actually ran into the mom at ANOTHER party for a preschool kid and, surprise!  She had both her children with her even though only one was invited.  She casually mentioned to me that she hoped it was okay that she was bringing both kids to our upcoming party but for them, the weekend was "family time" so they ALL like to attend these kid parties together for that reason.  I think that logic is bizarro and was irritated by it but didn't want to be totally rude so just casually mentioned that I was paying per kid.  I figured "lesson learned...I'll specify no siblings next time."

Of course, once the day of the party rolled around, she ended up backing out last minute anyway.  But another parent had brought HER child's older siblings.  However, that other parent arrived early and paid for her kids to come in because that's the courteous thing to do.

It's a social faux pas to EVER bring someone to a party who wasn't invited. [/quote]
