I’m honestly wondering if some of you people have friends in real life that you actually talk to… Maybe COVID really did a number on your social skills. I wouldn’t mention a kid’s party specifically in order to put some sort of state secret. I would mention the kid if my friend’s kid is also friends with them for many of the reasons noted here. If you don’t want people talking about your super special secret party, then let them know who else is invited! It’s really that simple. [/quote]

No one said anything about people who hide their list being a “super secretive party” 
There’s many reasons why people choose to hide their list. I have never asked another person if their kid is 
Going to an event unless I know 100 they are invited . If I don’t see a guest list or get a text invite and don’t know who’s coming 
I just take my kid to the party. It’s really not THAT big of a deal to not see the guest list. 
How do you handle it when people do verbal invites or paper invites or individual text invites? 
Why is that anyone’s business ? I can understand the people who choose to hide it and who choose not too.

Not many reasons have been offered actually.  I agree that hiding the guest list is an active choice by the host and it feels strange and overly calculated to me.  My kids like knowing who else will be there, not because that’s how they decide whether to attend but because it helps them anticipate what to expect.  I have recently noticed I’m less inclined to respond yes to kid-party evites that hide the guest list.  It grates on me and like several others have said, makes it a lot harder to arrange carpools.  Just because paper invites prevented showing the guest list doesn’t mean they are the standard to aspire to.[/quote]
