07/21/2015 12:45. Subject: I am forcing my kid to attend a birthday party. quote. Anonymous. There was a kid in my son's kindergarten class who was disruptive. I RSVPd to the birthday party without telling my child. I rarely tell my kids about parties until the week of. Now DS is saying he does not want to go to this kid's party.
I want to be clear that all siblings ARE invited as are the parents. Subject: Invitation wording to include siblings and parents? We invite your family to join ours for Jimmy's 5th birthday. Subject: Invitation wording to include siblings and parents? I put "parents and siblings welcome" on the invite. Subject: Invitation wording to include ...
17:51 here. First, if you need extra hands you enlist one or a few friends, and maybe they have to bring sibs, but they are there to help you. Second, I personally would not do no sibs for the inset 4 crowd b/c I would not want to be responsible for those kids without their parents.
Maybe you could send the specific invites to the child they are each closest with. Make the whole guest list and then assign each invited child one of your children's names. For the two that are in the same class - label half the invites as one bday party and half the invites as the other's bday party. 3rd DC invite people to that bday party.
Unless that parent for some reason doesn't open it even after re-sending (I use paperless post, which doesn't get sent to spam like evite often does), then I either catch them in person to ask or send it to the other parent. But honestly, the switch to paperless post made a huge difference in people seeing and responding to the invitations.
I would just explain fully. Something like this: The venue has limited space so unfortunately no siblings can be accommodated. If it makes things easier for you, please feel free to drop off since the party will be well supervised. Nothing wrong IMO to just being honest.
I didn't see anywhere in OP's post stating the whole class was invited. For all we know it may be a birthday party where the majority of the attendants will be from the culture of the birthday girl. OP may be the only or one of only a few non-of-their-culture invited. OP, if that is the case you could have just called the host to ask the meaning.
I went to a birthday party like this recently -- the invitation said "in lieu of gifts please bring food for the local food bank." So I agonized about whether to get a real gift or not. But in the end, I took the mom at her word and brought food. Only to find very little food from others, and MANY gifts. I felt like an ass.
03/19/2009 15:49. Subject: "gift optional" bday party? Anonymous. Anonymous wrote: "Gifts are (truly) optional, and won't be opened during the party." This doesn't sound very gracious to me. The first sentence might work better by itself, without the part about how they won't be opened at the party.
I think it is wonderful that everyone you know with small children are happily married couples with Mon-Friday 9-5 jobs and no one ever gets divorced, is widowed, or just plain old gets knocked up and doesn't continue a relationship with the father, and all of these families have no other interests or obligations other than accommodating pre ...
