DS 2 has had 3 - 2 family friends and 1 daycare classmate. We didn’t host a party for anyone other than family, fwiw.

2nd grader - at least 12
K'er - at least 8 (some overlap getting invited to older brother's friends' parties)

The birthdays are ramping up after a quiet few months it feels like. We had two this past weekend, four this coming weekend, and at least 3-4 more through June so far.

My 5 month old has already been to 4 birthday parties. He seems to have mixed feelings about them but he has alot of FOMO so good thing we've been able to attend.

How many kids did you invite to your parties?

DD is 2; has been invited 1 party this year (4yo child of my friend).

She is in 1/2 day toddler program at a preschool; there have been no parties for kids in her class. I cant tell if this is busy parents, covid hangover, or kids this age are still doing parallel play.

DS is in 4th and has gotten I think 4 for this year. However he has a big group of friends and most haven't had parties. He had a 10th, but we have already told him no 11th because we are doing a trip instead.

DD1- 4
DS2- 1 (and it hasn't happened yet)

Some of it is that the school won't give out class lists anymore, nor facilitate giving kids birthday invites. We're a summer birthday and want to invite the entire class, but we won't be able to Instead we will just invite all the girls that we know, which feels exclusionary.
