[quote=Anonymous]I commiserate OP. As the parent of elementary age boys, trying to manage kids who are tired (jumping) and sugared up from cake -while in a super fun environment where you have to be the “bad guy” who has to enforce that jumping is over is tough. My kid had a trampoline party and for some reason it took 15 min to pay the bill and get him his free t-shirt at the end after the kids left and my kid was melting down from the fun hangover.

My husband always thinks my party invites are “rude” but I insist that it is good manners for everyone to know exactly what they are signing up for. 
Do we request no gifts? 
Do kids need to sign a waiver / wear socks / wear clothes that can get dirty?
What am I feeding them? When? 
Do we have room for siblings? If so, what age is appropriate? 
Can I accommodate your food allergy or help arrange a car pool? 
How can you reach me or my spouse the day of the party?

If I have thought the question, so has another parent. I feel like it’s best to just put it out there FAQ style. If they don’t want to scroll down, that’s fine. It’s there for the parents or kids who need to have more info to feel prepared - or need to let me know how to make sure their kid feels like a welcome guest.[/quote]
