[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have twin girls in JK (or preschool 4 or whatever you want to call the year before K).  We're at a private school that starts with preschool 3 and goes through middle school.  We were at a different school, similar grades, last year, but ended up switching because we moved, so we are new to this school as of a few weeks ago.  There are two JK classes and they do recess and PE with each other every day as well as some other specials on occasion, so the kids all know each other (as much as they can since school just started).  One of my girls has gotten one birthday party invitation for a kid in her class and the other has gotten two invitations for kids in her class.  If you were the mom who had sent this invitation out, would you be annoyed if I asked if the uninvited twin was able to come?  I would of course say that I completely understand if siblings can't come for whatever reason, and I really would - we had a party where the capacity was capped so I had to be careful with the sibling issue and I totally get it.  But even if I said that would I come across as demanding and thoughtless?  None of the invitations had any names written on them (i.e. one didn't say Jane and the others didn't say Janet), but [b]I just assumed that the parents didn't know either girl was a twin.[/b]  I didn't have this issue last year because I feel like we didn't have any early birthdays and by the time we did everyone knew each other and the invitations were extended to both girls.[/quote]

If the parent doesn't know your child exists then the child should NOT come to the party.

Come on, OP. Drop off Larla and then go and have fun with Larlette![/quote]

So what if OP is not comfortable dropping off her 4 year old, and her spouse/partner is not available that weekend?

Would the birthday parent prefer that the invited child not attend or would they prefer that the other twin come along with?

I'd never drop off a 4 year old at a party. When my child was that age, there were weekends where only one of us parents is available to watch both kids(other parent working or out of town), and I have asked whether the other sibling can come with if the party seems big enough, and we paid for other sibling. It has never been a problem. I would never offer for a small group(less than 10 kids) because it is a more intimate party. We would just RSVP no.
