[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having a party for my 8yo son. Plan to invite 10 boys. We are having a gem mining party with stations. Everyone on our guest list has siblings. Several have attended our parties in the past and I have been lax with siblings. Some of the kids have 3 siblings. I want to be clear no siblings are welcome and parents are welcome to drop off. Party will be at our house but I don't want complete chaos with the activity. I don't really mind if parents bring siblings at pick up and siblings have cake and food. I don't want to write that anywhere though.

Does this sound ok?

Sorry, no siblings please. Parents are welcome to drop off.[/quote]

Getting back to OPs question -- i think you should allude to the additional cost, people wont assume for a house party that there is a limit unless you say it.

Please drop off at 1:00.  Kids will be doing a gem mining activity lead by XX company. Unfortunately we cant accomodate siblings. Pick up at 3:00. [/quote]

OP here. I don't care about cost. It is about the mess and would like to keep organized chaos to a minimum. If it was a venue party, I would be more lenient about siblings because we could just pay $20-30 per extra kid. I care more about keeping headcount small because it is at our house.

This thread has already carried on too long because of the idiot woman who wants her younger to attend a party she isn't invited. She has a level of entitlement that is beyond anything I have seen in a while on these boards.

Anyway, OP, just put "No siblings, please" and move on. It's what you mean, it's what you want and that message is clear: NO siblings, please.
