while it can be really tough, you are not doing anything wrong. Its your son's birthday party and he should be comfortable with the whole setup. But do ask your kid whom he wants to invite if he is old enough to have a choice.
Reply:You don't have to invite his whole classroom, because more than likely their will be other kids coming too. Invite the one's he likes or you know personally. Most of them only come for the food and games and don't care if it's his birthday. I agree if you feel guilty about not inviting the whole class make cupcakes for the class on his birthday. Might want to check with the teacher ahead of time just to be considerate to her needs and wants too. They maynot want the janitor staff to have to pickup after a party.
Reply:no, it is wise to only invite your son's closest friends. You can always bring in some cupcakes for your son's class to celebrate at school. My son has 19 in his class. We will invite 5 or 6 friends from school, and just do cupcakes for his class. Keep it simple.
Reply:As long as you don't make a big deal of handing out invites. I know other moms at my son's preschool who have limited it. I don't feel bad, it's not like I want to go! But the general limit is if the kid is turning 4, invite 4 kids. Which works for me! I certainly won't invite all the kids in his class.
Reply:it is extremely rude and scars kids beyond belief
Reply:why dont you invite all of them?
Reply:It would be unless you know them socially outside of school....We generally try to do a separate little party at school for our kids so that all their friends can be involved, then have a party at home for our friends outside of school.
Reply:There's nothing wrong with that. I just wouldn't distribute the invitations in class because that could lead to hurt feelings. Mail them to the children's homes or personally give them to the parents of the children you wish to invite.
Reply:Nope, that's perfectly fine. It would be rude to invite only ten of them.
Reply:If you were to distribute the invitations at school. Mail them to the parents or call them up individually ( I am assuming you have a class list of numbers or some other way of contact). Advise your son not to discuss his party at school. If other kids overhear, they may get upset. Hopefuly. the kids you invite will do the same. As kids get older, they invite less and less of their classmates to their parties. It is an inevitable part of life. However, he is still young and many kindergarteners invite their whole class still. It is up to you, but please be careful about others feelings.
Reply:NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
Reply:It's not rude at all. It's a part of life! If only we were all invited to the oscars... :-) But as a former teacher, I know our school had a policy about invitations/gifts-unless everyone in the class was getting one, students were not allowed to hand them out in school. As long as you mail them, there should be no problem!
Reply:not at all make the other kids in his class cry that don't come whahaaa haa
Reply:It is VERY rude if you send the invitations to school. If you want to only invite certain classmates you send the invitations to their homes not to school. These days some teachers won't allow passing out invitations in school. I know one teacher who will throw the invitations away. Extremely crass to send invitations to school. Tacky Tacky Tacky
Reply:He should only invite his friends. Don't invite the whole class, just because you think it's the RIGHT thing to do.
