[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure it's only in the U.S. that people find it appropriate to exclude families... [/quote]

You are wrong. [/quote]

NP. Where else is this commonplace?[/quote]

I live in Southern Europe and siblings are also always invited to birthday parties, as are parents. Of course birthday parties are usually just held at the local park or someone's apartment.  Another thing that shocks me when I go home to the US is kids parties where the invite says what time the party begins and ends.  Here, it's considered rude to tell people it's time to leave a party and I agree.[/quote]

Yes, but here people have venue parties where you have to be out at a certain time so the next party can come through. Also, people drop off their kids and need to know when to come back [/quote]

When we were home last time, my daughter was invited to a party held in someone's backyard which specified on the invite that it was from 2-4.  So it was only 2 hours long.  Some party.  Also, there was barely any food.  I had my kids outside the US so this just comes across as uptight and rude.

My kids' birthday parties usually start at around 5 and go on until 10 or 11.  While the kids destroy the apartment (or park for the one born in summer) we hang out with our friends and the kids' parents, drink beer and eat lots of food.  We usually organize a few "exotic" for the locals American party games like pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs and maybe a pinada.  No one has much money here so no one has venue parties here. Maybe rich people do we don't hang out with those types.  Some of the older girls have started doing sleep overs and these are limited for obvious reasons.[/quote]
