[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sent out my first evite to a mix of classmates, neighbors and family friends. I made sure children's names were listed. Family friends RSVPd with entire family - 2 adults 2 kids. Now multiple classmates are RSVPing with 2-3 kids.

I am going to go over my headcount of 20. I can probably pay $30 per sibling for a few but I prefer not. This ia drop off optional. These parents are bringing older kids and younger kids.

What can I do? Just take it as a learning lesson?

In the past, I did paper invitations and parents would ask about siblings.[/quote]

J[b]ust try to be understanding.  For single parents, or those whose spouse can't watch the other kid, it's very nice when parents allow siblings.  Parents should be reasonable and expect that some will ask about siblings. If you can acommodate, it's wonderful[/b].  [/quote]

I totally agree. DH often travels for work and I often have to find a babysitter to watch the sibling that is not invited. If I can't find a babysitter, I usually tell the child that's invited to the party that she can't go which is usually very disappointing. [/quote]

Not the host's problem.

Why can't YOU watch and entertain your other kids for 90 minutes to two hours? Why is this so hard for DC parents?

Or if it is a place like Flight, check your birthday guest in to the party, then get in line and get tickets for your younger kid and play with him in a separate area away from the party. Whybis it the host's responsibility to pay for what is essentially free sitting for your other kids?[/quote]
