[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate it when siblings aren't mentioned. I've been to quite a few birthday parties with DD and then they ask where my son is! I would have brought him but didn't know who was allowed. I think invites should  always mention siblings.[/quote]

I don’t mention siblings on my invites because I typically have booked a venue with a headcount cap. As I receive regrets from some families, I call or text the families I know have kids the same age as my younger child and ask if they want to bring their other kids. I don’t prohibit siblings because I know sow families have logistical issues where one parent might need to bring more than one kid and I don’t need them to explain themselves to me. I find that most people don’t rsvp with siblings and the ones that do are the few families we know who seem to do everything together as a group of 4-6 people. Those “big group always together” are also the ones who tend to explicitly include my younger child so it all works out. [/quote]
