[quote=Anonymous]I think its fine to specify no siblings but you have to realize that many people may not come. At this age, not every kid is fine with a drop off. If the family has other kids they may not want to split up on one of their only weekend days for the party or if one is busy with something up, a preschool party is not worth arranging childcare.

For some cultures. it is expected that the entire family attend. Our Middle Eastern and Indian friends always expected our entire family including the older siblings to come even though the older siblings had zero interest in doing this. Our Chinese and Korean friends were less comfortable with drop offs or sleep overs unless they knew you really well. Our wonder bread white friends barely slowed their minivan as the let the kids out of the car and drove off. I'm not joking here -2 would basically just come to a rolling stop and then keep going which shocked our other friends.

Point is -don't be offended just be clear about what you expect and are offering. [/quote]
