[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I suspect you may be overthinking this. Assuming these are Evites--and my 4yo and 6yo have never, ever received a paper invitation to a party!--you got an email that said "Larlo is turning 4!" (and Larlo is in Twin A's class) and another that said "Larla's Birthday Party!" (and Larla is in Twin B's class).

I would not assume that only Twin A or B is invited, or that both twins are invited. I would assume, in JK, that the parents copied the class email list and pasted it into the Evite and hit send, and that was the extent of the thought process. They may not know that your girls are twins, or they may assume that you know that only the one in the class is invited, or they may assume you know that both are invited. Just ask. Also, our school has a mix of people who just invite the child's class and people who invite the whole cohort. Check the invite list to see.

(Obviously if these were indeed paper invites in the backpack, then just the invitee is invited. [b]But I assume then you wouldn't be at all unsure about which girl the invitation was intended for.[/b])[/quote]

OP isn't unsure. From the OP:

"[b]One of my girls has gotten one birthday party invitation for a kid in her class[/b] and [b]the other has gotten two invitations for kids in her class[/b]. If you were the mom who had sent this invitation out, would you be annoyed [b]if I asked if the uninvited twin was able to come[/b]?"

She knows which of her kids were invited, and which one was "uninvited" for each of the 3 parties. She just wants both of her kids to be able to go to all parties anyway, even though they aren't even in the same class, she doesn't know that they are friends, and, later, acknowledged that "[b]it's possible that the birthday child has no idea the uninvited twin exists[/b]" (!). Because, you know, entitlement.

What OP is unsure about is how annoyed someone would be when a random parent comes up to them and "asks" to bring along extra kids. And the answer is very. But she doesn't like that answer. Because, you know. Entitlement.[/quote]
