My son is turning 10 and having a birthday party. We can have up to 25 kids at the place where his party is. All of my friends have kids but I only want to invite the ones HE is friends with, and leave the other spots available for his school friends. Is it rude to not invite my other friends kids? Would you explain this to your other friends beforehand? How would you react if your kids were excluded?

It's his party and he should invite his friends regardless of who your friends are. It's should be about him and who he wants there to celebrate with him. Your friends should understand this and you shouldn't have to explain but if you think their feeling would be hurt you could explain to avoid hurt feelings. I personally wouldn't even expect an invite if my child wasn't friends with yours but I would send a card to wish him a happy birthday because you were my friend.

Here's an idea. Ask your son who he wants to invite and have him do his own invites. He'll feel a sense of independence, and accomplishment. Then when he asks Mom to mail them out, the friends and parents will see it's really his party because he filled out the invites himself. Any "friends" who would then be offended, is not your issue. Just by asking this question, you show yourself to be a good, caring person. Real friends should already know this. I hope everything goes well, and his birthday will be one of the best he's ever had. Good Luck!

Your ideas seem totally appropriate. I would not want to take my kids to a birthday party of a kid of a friend of mine unless my kid was friends to the kid. It's not about your friends, it's about your son's friends. Probably the best way to explain it would be that your son could choose 25 friends and these were the ones he chose. Honesty is the best policy.

One daughter became invited and the different wasn't? So what? they are going to be invited to events one after the other something of their lives! curiously the girl having the party feels closer to a minimum of one in all your daughters. possibly she became constrained to the style of visitors she became allowed to ask. Calling the mummy could be very rude and shabby. the two the single invited daughter is going or she would not. the single that wasn't invited will in basic terms might desire to settle for it as a getting to know journey (no longer all of them would be friendly). There are twins in my kin too, and that they've numerous diverse acquaintances and attend diverse events.

Ask your son who he wants to invite, please don't invited kids for him! Just let him decide so he actually is with kids he likes and can have a good time with. If your kids aren't friends with this kid who is having a party then why should you care that your kid isn't invited?

Well if your son dosen't know them it will be kind of awkward mostly for them because they will not know anybody.
