[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this may stem from the practice of inviting all the kids in the class, and people feeling like b-day parties have to be such a production.  [/quote]

I was just thnking this!  I feel so bad for the child and the parents who spent the time and money planning - I really do.  But, as I read this I am thnking this has never happened to us ( not because we are overly popular, social, fun, throw great parties, etc.) but because I have never invited  ( or let the kids invite) guests who were not " real" friends.  And by this I mean kids they play with at least once or twice a week, all the time,  in our home or theirs.  My one child is well-liked and often gets invited to things but he is an introvert and perfers not to go so with him we even pre-check and say to his 3 or 4 closest pals " billy's birthday is on a tuesday this year does that work ." Other parents do that too since again it is only close friends and who else do you want at your party then your real pals.

Now, if this is for the 5 and under set, I do get why people want to include the class, playgroup, soccer team as they are just starting to make friends and maybe don't have a group.  This was us and I get it but even then I only invited the kids we had weekly playdates with.
It is rude and I am appalled with you.  He or she will have their group soon enough.  I promise you so hang in there.[/quote]
