[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds to me also like there is a general "rule" (whether required or cultural) that everyone in the class (not grade) is invited.  That's why the invites were put into backpacks.

It sounds like all three invitations were specifically for just one twin.  I would just roll with it.  Each twin is going to get invitations to birthday parties for all the kids in their class -- and it will be equal.  Sure, they may end up with some closer friends who know both and invite both, but that seems fair.

I would never ask if a sibling could come along unless I didn't have childcare that day.  In one case, I did ask if I could bring my toddler along to a party at a home and explained that my DH was going to be out-of-town and I didn't have a babysitter.  I also knew that the previous year, other siblings had come to the same kid's party.  If it's at a home, you could consider asking if it's really, really important to you.  If it's at a venue, no.[/quote]

I would assume it’s a childcare thing.  Do most people ready have flexible childcare available all weekend every weekend?  A lot of people work outside M-F 9-5 jobs.  It seems reasonable to assume that the OP needs to work some weekends and/or her husband does too.  And if they just moved, the OP probably doesn’t have a big network of babysitters.  It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me at all to ask to bring a twin who is known by the birthday child.  [/quote]
