[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in a similar situation right now. DS wants a big birthday party, but doesn't want to invite all the boys. Some of the boys in his class have had parties this year and DS hasn't been invited to any. I asked him how he feels, and he says he doesn't care because he'll get them back by not inviting those boys to his party. I can see why schools have these unwritten rules. The kids talk about the parties before and after in front of the other children who aren't invited. I'm leaning towards inviting all the boys in his class.

The second problem is the remaining classes in his grade. DS has friends from recess and prior year classes. He wants to invite some kids from the other classes. Since it would only be a few boys from each class, then I'm thinking it's ok to only invite a few from each of the other classes. We cannot afford to invite all the boys from all the classes.

I have done two parties to avoid this issue -- 1) special activity with closest friend(s) and 2) a large low key party in a public park where we have invited the whole class.  Cake, a few games and maybe a pinata.  But really, after reading through this post OP should be able to invite whoever she wants to the party.  We all have had parties where we have had to stress over guest lists and who to invite.  [/quote]
