No. I wouldn't assume same sex twins are a package deal. I have 1st grade fraternal twin boys and I actually like them being invited separately  to birthday parties. It was easier to do that in K, but now in 1st grade there is more of a mixing of the kids and classes so they do now often get invited together. I do wish that when parents send out birthday invites they put the name of the child being  invited. If it is left unclear, and I know that the child having the party knows and is friends with both my boys and other parents are rsvping for siblings, I typically rsvp for both or I just ask the parent.  I totally get that space is limited for some brthday venues and would never push both my twins on a party invite  and my kids understand that. [/quote]

I agree that there's absolutely no obligation to invite the other twin but you'd be surprised how quickly kids switch friends at this age. DD was close friends with one girl at this age and she had a very small birthday party and the mother, who is really wonderful, welcomed both the twins even though the second one was not really friends with her daughter. Well a few months later the second twin became even closer friends to the birthday girl and first twin is still remained a great friend. I think that if it weren't for the intimate party the second twin would have not had a chance to get to know the birthday girl as well as the birthday girl is not as outgoing as her other friends. But once the second twin got to know her they both realized they have a ton in common and that their personalities are such they have a lot of fun when they are together.[/quote]
