[quote=Anonymous]Unless you hang out with the birthday child regularly, I don’t see why a child or parent should expect an invitation. If you don’t hang out outside of school, don’t do play dates, you should not expect an invitation where not everyone was invited. Just because you share the same sex does not qualify one to be invited.

Watch when parties become even smaller and birthdays only invite a handful of close friends and you get cut. As you get older, kids make more friends and can’t invite even all their friends. Covid made these situations worse.

I had a small party for my 3 children. My oldest child invited 3 friends. Previous birthday parties had 10-20 kids so there are a lot of kids we had previously invited that we did not invited. Middle child had 5 boys from his class. We only invited kids from his class. He has friends from other classes and other activities that we did not invite due to covid. I also only invited 3 girls to my daughter’s birthday. I normally would have invited many more kids and I still would not have invited the whole class or all of the same sex. I would have invited more real friends though that my kid is friends with.[/quote]
