Call it what it is: cheap people with no manners. I bet those siblings did not bring a gift but they and their parents ate like hogs.

That's why parties are drop off. Does that not apply to you for some reason?

The families should not ask.

This can be really rude but I also think some groups have a bring the whole family culture.

Was this at a venue?

Did they not include siblings in their RSVP #s?

You're not required to read or respond. Especially when you have nothing to offer

I guess for this group the invite next time should say - not can but do drop off.

Maybe the family was fine with it. We always invited everyone. I think its weird not to.

If the hosting family was Indian, they would probably be inclusive, call entire families, provide a hot meal with options as well as pizza and cake, have goody bags for all the kids, provide beer and wine for the adults, pack leftovers for the guests to take home and also have a clown or magician to entertain the guests.

Don't know better, don't plan ahead, assume that if they would be fine with siblings others will be, etc.

We attended a party today where everyone brought siblings. This was an elementary party. Entire families came. Siblings were crying. The party was close by to our school. Invitation said parents could drop off.

Do families just not know any better?
