Sunday my son is turning two and we are throwing him a party with all his little cousins. I had favors for the toddlers and elementary aged kids of goldfish, ringpops, straw cups and whistles.  Most of the guests will be under 10.  Do you think it would be rude of me not to give favors to the guests siblings that are in middle school?  I think once you hit middle school you shouldnt cry about getting a baby goody bag.  Would you be hurt if your middle schooler didnt get a favor?

    Oh and We never ever had party favors growing up and nobody has ever missed them when we didn't get around to them.

    Yes it's rude to exclude middle school aged siblings. 

    Don't do favors at all. As a mother who hates all the crap kids get at parties (especially food/candy related favors), I'm telling you that it will just end up in the garbage.

    Really?  I don't think its rude.  When Jakob comes along to a toddler's bday party, he doesn't expect a goody bag.  And he's not even in middle school yet, only 4th grade. 

    But agreed that goody bags in general are just a waste.

    *I* think it's rude. I have no idea what some middle school kid thinks. You don't offer gifts to only some of your guests.  And goody bags are still wastes.

    If the older kids are actual invited guests I think you should include them too in some way. If they're just tagging along because their siblings will be there then I don't think it's necessary.

    I don't know how this works though, I didn't have any younger siblings so I didn't really go to parties for toddlers when I was in middle school. I can't remember ever getting gift bags though, and I don't think it mattered to me.
