[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why would this party be fun for your friend's kid if the kid doesn't know anyone and the guest of honor has already said she doesn't want that kid there?[/b]

I used to throw big parties and invite my friends and their kids but stopped when it didn't make sense for the other kids to be there. This did not impact my adult friendships with these women at all, they also stopped inviting my kid! No biggie. [/quote]

I think you need to have an open conversation with your friend and state exactly this. Just let her know that you would love to her child there but just an FYI that they will not know any of the other children there so you don't want it to be awkward. Maybe even suggest a separate celebration where the four of you go out and get ice cream or something?

We stopped inviting friends' kids a long time ago as well as them not inviting us and everyone understood. My kids don't even get invited to/invite their cousins, who are local and close in age, anymore. Its no fun to be the only kid there who doesn't know anyone. [/quote]
