[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many classes are there per grade at your school, OP?  In third grade - or really whenever - a perfectly fine guest-list "criteria" is "my DD's close friends".  Are you saying that the 8 girls from her class happen to be her close friends that she would choose as her top 8 invites?  Are there no other classes in her grade?  I doubt it!  It sounds like your guest-list criteria is "the class except the people we don't like."  Change the criteria altogether to her closest friends in the grade.

Our school has four classes per grade.  When my DD was in third grade, the guest list to her party was her 15 closest friends.  Since kids get jumbled up into new classes every year, she was good friends with kids in each of the four classes.  So the guess list consisted of a few girls from each of the four classes, one pre-school lasting friend who goes to a different school, and two kids at yet another schools that she went to summer camp with.

Have your DD just come up with a list of her closest friends regardless of which class they are in.  [/quote]

There are 5 classes in her grade. Her class has more boys than girls. Her original guest list had 15 people including 7 girls in her class. The other 8 include neighbors who are in different grades and former close friends from former classes from her younger grades.

She is close friends with 4 girls in her class and not as close friends with 3. I actually suggested taking out the not as close 3 friends and she wanted them.[/quote]
