[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think an additional issue (because the first issue is people are RUDE) is that now that most children attend childcare, and there is a strong feeling that every child in the class should be invited, that can get to 20 invites.  Then add a few family friends' kids, a cousin or two and it's a big, expensive, party.

And yet, NOT inviting all 2 or 3 or 4 year olds to a party when you KNOW a child is going to talk about it ad nauseum for a week before and a week after their party is very rude and feels horrible.  And, truly, the classmates are friends - some are better friends than others, but we all talk about "my friends at preschool" and teachers talk about "we are all friends here" so...

And therefore, my 1 child will get 20 invites, which is a lot.

Again - I should STILL RSVP to them - even if it's a NO it's better than a nothing.  (and WORSE it to show up without RSVPing yes!   I'd never do that, actually.)[/quote]

You're acting really put out about this. But the all class invites stop around 7. You'll go from 20 invites to maybe a handful and then the hurt feelings start when it's just 4 besties and your kid is the 5th and didn't make the cut and is upset. Then you'll wish for the easy breezy days of too many invites to know what to do with.[/quote]
