Kids Birthday party inviting other sibling friends.?

Question

I am having birthday party for my daughter who is turning 5. And my son is 7 year old and he insisting on inviting his friends from his class too. Now i am not sure if its ok to invite his friends and i dont want him to feel left out.

If i can invite then what should i write on his friends invitation card that who's party is it.....Please help.

Answer 1

If I were you, I'd only let him invite a couple of his close friends.

Answer 2

i would just let him invite a few of his friends maybe 1 or 2 so that he will have someone there to hang out with and he wont feel left out. because it is your daughters birthday party and she may feel like its not important if your son invites a lot of his friends

Answer 3

He shouldn't be allowed to invite his friends to his sister's party.  It is her special day.  He has his own birthday to have his own special day.  Also, since when do we let kids "insist" they are going to do something?  I thought we as parents did the insisting.

Answer 4

allow him 1 friend to come and that is it. It is not his party, it is not his day. The party is all about his sister but not him. By allowing one friend though gives him someone to play with. Just talk to the mum rather than send an invite

Answer 5

No, don't do this. It's your daughter's birthday,l and your son is old enough to realize this!

Answer 6

It's your daughter's birthday party, not his. Are you going to let your daughter invite her friends to his birthday party? It's a birthday party....it's about the birthday child, it's okay...really....if your son feels a bit left out. Your daughter will likely experience the same thing on his birthday. A birthday party is about the birthday child....not the siblings. I would definitely say no, it's not his party.

Answer 7

It is your 5 year olds day, her party. Let your son invite his best friend only, no need to write anything on the invitation or have any complications. He should really understand and be happy at this compromise.

Answer 8

No its not ok for him to invite his friends. It is her day and on his birthday he can have his friends. He needs to know that it is not always about him

Answer 9

Let your daughter have her special day. Allow your son to invite only one friend.

Answer 10

Just invite a couple of his friends maybe 3 at the most, just put  John's younger sister, Cheryl who is turning 5,  for example. hope this helps.

Answer 11

I would say only one friend. It is your daughters big day!!

Answer 12

Tell your 7 year old that it's not his party.
