To clarify from my post earlier about the party

I just replied to the earlier post too but the invite made me feel like there are rules of what is girl and what is boy, my concern is that he is only 4 and would likely want to do the "girl" stuff.  I have no issue with him doing glam stuff, I paint his nails if he wants it and let him run around in dress-up skirts, etc, my only issue is that the way it is worded made me feel like it is not all activities for girls or boys but rather divided based on their sex.

I do appreciate the replies because I might have read into it and will have to read it again later to see if I still feel that way.

    I think they were simply offering an alternative and you are reading WAY in to it.

    I also think they would never turn your son away from having his nails painted, for example, if that is what he wanted to do.

    Well, even if they are thinking of keeping it all seperate, I think they'll be in for a bit of a surprise.  This is a group of 4 and 5 year olds!  I doubt the parents are going to be able to keep a strict "line in  the sand" between the activities.

    I think it's odd to even mention it in an invitation.  I think the mom is high if she thinks the kids are going to do what she's planned for them, as well.  ;-)
