[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it IS okay. My kids have birthday parties with 20+ kids in attendance, and then have their closest few friends sleep over. I do warn the sleepover kids not to talk about it at the party. [/quote]

Just because you too decide to be rude doesn't make it not rude. it's not very nice.[/quote]

It's not rude at all. Growing up in the 70s this was standard. Big party, closest friends spent the night. Everybody got it. If people today were not teaching their kids that the entire universe revolved around them they wouldn't be so sensitive/emotionally immature. But then, look at the parents, just as.[/quote]
I went to a couple of these sorts of parties in the 70s, but they were nothing like what the OP is describing.  You'd have the big party at the roller rink (or wherever) and everyone there would have food and cake.  Later, your close friends would come over for a sleepover.  There was no hoarding of cake or other special things for the A team.[/quote]

Yeah, I grew up here in the 80s. This was normal for me and my other classmates, especially for middle grades 5th-8th. It wasn't about hoarding gifts, it was about hanging out with your classmates. A big group at laser tag or bowling and then a smaller (and less annoying to the parents) group for the sleepover. 
Sure, it "hurt" that you were not on the "A" list, but only because it meant you weren't super "popular". And the "hurt" was momentary, I mean why would you want be on the "A" list if the person wasn't a really good friend of yours? And why would you want to sleepover at their house?

What is rude is saving the cake, ect for the sleepover. And, actually, it's more weird than rude. Popcorn, slice and bake cookies, s'mores, ect are for the sleepover.[/quote]
