[quote=Anonymous]Actually I do kind of think it’s cheap (not to at least have an equivalent for siblings, if you don’t have time to get the same thing) and have no patience in this case for the “she’s on a budget” argument. And I’m someone who made a case in a recent thread in favor of my single mom friend who didn’t provide tickets to the carousel at a public park as part of the party itself (it was the “favor”). So I’m not like these posters who are all, “It’s one banana, Michael! How much could it cost, $10?” I get budgeting. And even being pretty broke. But to me, inviting siblings is a gray area or a cultural thing (in many cases) and something you have to plan for happening... not “bad behavior” you need to “discourage.” So if you’re on a strict budget, you reduce your spending per person, you don’t plan things out to the last penny in hopes that your 4 year old’s birthday party won’t be crashed by— heaven forfend!— a sibling, even an uninvited one. Obviously within reason— if someone comes with an entourage of 20, fine, turn them away. [/quote]
