[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended a party with my 8 year old this year where a mother brought a younger (autistic and nonverbal) sibling along. When the invited child tried to give his younger sibling a treat bag the host mom got really upset and said there were only enough for invited guests, so he quickly returned it. It was awful and made me realize it’s better to choose cheaper party options that are more forgiving to uninvited siblings than expensive elements that are extremely limited.[/quote]

I don't think it's a cost thing, it's a planning thing. The rude ones are the family who imposed. 8yr old could share or just give the favor to sibling. Or mom could step in "those are for the party guests". In all this, the rude one wasn't the host. The party crashing family was rude.  Plus, the mom did not set the child up for success. Finally, I thought everyone in here who does this swears up and down they hide in the larger public area and don't intrude on the small party space and try to eat the food? So how did this happen?[/quote]
