[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that mixing family friends - where you are used to the whole family being invited - and school friends is what made this confusing.  When I host my kids parties I always send a separate invitation to school friends and family friends.  The school invitations go to "Sam" while the family friend invitation goes to the entire family.  I wouldn't invite just one child from a family we socialize with regularly.  [/quote]

NP. I don't think it's confusing at all.  When I get an evite from one of my kids' school friends, I know as a matter of course that the only invitee is my child, not his/her sibs.  If others on the evite have rsvp'd for more than one child and I don't recognize the name, I assume it's a family friend. But it doesn't make me think "hey! I'll send my other child too, since this person did!"  I mean, it's just common sense, you know?

OP,  I would email the people who rsvp'd for sibs and be very direct.  The mom of one of my DS' friends has, for the last 3 years, tried to shoehorn her much younger daughter into my DS' birthday parties and I always have to have this conversation with her.  It's insane.  She thinks it's ok to drop her toddler daughter off at a 1st grade boy's pump it up party and have me babysit. Um, nope!  Sorry to hijack... This is obviously a sore subject for me.
