My son and daughter are celebrating their 10th birthday, and are in the same class...?

Question

We are having 1 birthday party at an indoor amusement park to celebrate it. Each of the kids were told they could invite 6 friends. Since they are both in the same class should I write both of their names on the invitation, or just address my daughters friends on her invites, and my sons on his...the only reason I am asking is because they both hang around with the same kids on a daily basis, but I'm afraid that if I address the invitations seperatly one of my children may have more kids show up then the other....I don't want hurt feelings...

Everyones thoughts and opinions will help me decide easier. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Use one invitation for all of them. Saves cash, and makes the kids happy.

Answer 2

I would put both names only on invitations of kids who appeared on both list.  You really don't want a kid to recieve two invitations and give one to somebody else.  I think any kid who shows up on both list already knows about the party and nobody's feeling will be hurt.

Answer 3

You are celebrating for giving and receiving the joy and happiness to your son and daughter as well to their friends. Invite to all and rejoice the joy. Happy birthday to both of them! May God bless them and fulfill their all wishes in life!

Answer 4

i would say only put one name on the invitation. Or if you put both ask for a joint gift. You don't want to put parents in a funny situation if they can't afford to buy for 2

Answer 5

wow.

i wish my problems were that complex.

haha.

uhmmmm....

whoever comes to the party comes, big deal. Talk to your kids about it.

Answer 6

We had a similar situation, and I had my Babes send out separate invites. Have the kids RSVP by a certain day and if someone can't make it, your child(ren) can ask another friend. I know that's tacky, but...

Answer 7

As its a joint party I think you should definitely do joint invites.That way each guest will bring a present for each child,probably smaller than if t was just for one,but nevertheless agift each.No matter how many turn up they will both feel special.

Answer 8

I would do seperate invites for each. Make them feel more special. Its important to feel like an individual. :) Good luck

Answer 9

I would put each childs name on the invitation.  That way it make it seem more for that child and that child's friend instead of both of them. I know the party is for both but it gives them each their on little separate part in the party.

Answer 10

As it is a joint party I would go with joint invitations.
