[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, my instinct was to just let it go.  but I wanted to double check it.  twin was in quotes b/c I haven't had coffee yet!  we live in a small town house so 1 extra person does make a difference.  we won't have enough seats for everyone etc and I thought it might be weird to have a kid at the party who doesn't know the other kids....but I am reminded now that at 6/7 you pretty much just play with whoever anyway.  so hopefully it will all work out.  
this is our first twin friend so we don't have experience with it--are twins just treated as a package deal until an older age?  if you invite one, you invite both etc?[/quote]

Yes, you should let it go and welcome the other child. How can one of the twins not know the other kids? Don't they all go to the same school? Every single time we've gotten an invite except once it's turned out to be for both twins. This is out of a total of maybe 20 parties so I wouldn't be surprised if the mother has had the same experience and wasn't thinking too deeply about your party and just made a wrong assumption. I've made the OPPOSITE assumption more than a few times, that an invite was for one of the twins, and then after I would RSVP for one kid a parent would write back and ask what happened to the other kid. All the parents I know go out of their way to make sure both twins are included. I don't mind splitting them up and have accepted a number of parties only on behalf of the twin closest to the birthday girl or boy but I know other parents of twins still think of them as a pair at this age.[/quote]
