DS's bday party is in a few weeks. Our guest list includes dh I's friends that have kids the same age as ds. They've all come to his parties before and we often have play dates.

Ds just started preschool and has really hit it off with one boy there. He talks about him allllll the time and dh who does pick up drop off said that the boys mom said her son talks about ds all the time too! This is his 1st friend he's made on his own and I think itd be great to invite him to the party.

Would you invite just the one boy? Our guest list is already maxed out, but I can pay extra to add one more kid. If you were the other parent would you go to a party where you didn't know anyone?

    I would have no problem just inviting one boy from his class.  It's not like you're inviting everyone except one kid.  We've had parties where we only invited a handful of kids from the class (just good friends).  I have no issues with not inviting the whole class.  Not everyone needs to be invited to everything. 

    I've been to parties where I only know the birthday kid.  They're not the most fun for the adults, but you do it for your kid, and really it's only a few hours of the day.  I have no problem with it.

    Yes, I definitely would add the one boy.  If I were that parent, I would also definitely take DS to the party of a kid that he loved to play with.  It's more about him than whether I feel comfortable around a bunch of people I don't know.  I'm just a chaperone.  :-D

    yes - totally invite him, but you should make a real effort to talk to the other mom (and/or Dad) when if they come so they don't feel excluded.

    Oh I definitely will!! I've been the outsider at enough parties where EVERYONE ignored me so I know how much that sucks!

    Thanks for the replies ladies. I feel a lot better about inviting them now!
