Answer 5

Answer 6

well When a friend invites my Son I always ask the parents what money they will need to bring,That way you don't assume you are paying for it all.

Answer 7

It's usually best to decide this BEFORE the guest is invited.  That way, you're not forced into having to pay if you didn't want to, or weren't expecting to pay.  If your child asked you if they could invite their friend, you should've discussed it with their parents, and come to an agreement as to who would cover any and all costs regarding the guest.  If you told your child to invite their friend, then you should probably assume the responsibility of covering their tickets, food, and drinks.  Souvenirs can be covered by the child's parents.  If you don't have the money to cover everything, get with the child's parents and discuss what you can afford to cover, and split the costs.  This way, it's fair for everyone, and the child gets to have a great day with friends.

Answer 8

definatly NOT. it is and invation, therefor if you dont want to pay then dont invite that person

Answer 9

whenever i invite a friend, they pay for their own ticket. it would be really expensive for me to pay for my own ticket and a friends ticket.  if it was for a birthday party or somthing the the person doing the inviting would be expected to pay for their friends as well. but in most situations, i think the friend should pay for their own ticket.

Answer 10

No, its their invitation, and in turn, yours. You pay.

Answer 11

Friendship is (should be) give and take. This is a chance for the adult (s) to show a good example. The person (regardless of age) who invites is implying  "his/her treat". However, not everyone can afford to pay for both themselves and their guest. A friend would anticipate this and want to do their part. So the one invited (child or adult) ought to be prepared with funds to pay their part.

Give your older child who has been invited some money and instruct the child to give it to the adult to help cover expenses or you (the parent) offer the other parent some money if the child is younger. If the people who invited say "no, my treat", then graciously say thank you. Hopefully in that case, you will have a chance to reciprocate in the future.

Answer 12

no , you invited them

plus it might be awkward to suggest that the child pay
