Preschool birthday party
I have to first say THANK YOU to you ladies. You advised me on my DD's bday party a few months ago and it is much appreciated.
My son will be turning 5 and is in preschool. I want to have an old fashioned at home bday party with just around 5-6 boys he is friends with low key - pinata, musical chairs, pizza. Here is where I have questions:
1. Is it rude to not invite all the boys on his class? Seems like that's what everyone does but there are two boys that are REALLY naughty and though I feel mean to exclude them, we sadly don't want them there.
2. Three of the boys have older siblings that arey DD's age (6) and will they just automatically come? Do I include them? My DD will be there but I kind of want to keep it to just "his" friends. I was thinking of possibly doing it on a preschool day when DD and the older siblings were at school to make it easier ( that way it would be only his friends). DH thinks sis should be there... What would you do?
3. Will the parents stay?
ladies, I appreciate the help! Thank you!!

Re: Preschool birthday party
I got addresses and mailed invitations since we were not inviting everyone.
2. The sibling thing seems to vary but in our group it seems like they don't come unless specifically invited. Because some had siblings close in age and went to same daycare, a lot of parents would invite siblings. I invited 1 one year because dd specifically asked for her to be invited. But didnt specifically invite another but if they had brought her or asked I would have been ok with it.
3. I can't imagine pre-k parents leaving!
Hi:
I would mail the invitations if not inviting everyone. Also,at every party we've hosted there have been several uninvited and unexpected siblings, older and younger.They stand there and expect a favor as well and I have yet to have a parent remove the other sibling when I'm giving out the favors -so awkward. So, I always have a few extra favors now, or at least a cookie or something for the potential siblings I would never expect to have the sibling of the invited boy to be included unless it is a family that we do other things with. That being said, one Sat. C had a birthday party and I was working. DH had to take B with him. The 4th b-day party was at a bowling alley and his plan was to bowl with B away from the party. The mom host invited them to have cake and pizza with the group. We thought that was really nice and certainly did not expect a favor and DH redirected B when the favors were being given out and explained that it was C's friend's party and not his friend's so no favor.
Yes, parents will stay.

Just got back from B's 4th birthday party at the Little Gym. 16 kids and all the parents stayed. Only a few parents ate cake. Amazingly, not a single uninvited sibling! That was a first, just to make me a liar in my response above.
