I am having an iceskating party for my 8 year old & am paying all the fees for the 30 invited kids
I cannot afford to pay the $6 fee if the parents and additional siblings want to skate also-how do I make this clear on the invite?

Just add: feel free to bring siblings or skate yourself. This additional fee will be $6 per person and you can pay at the front counter.

Hi,
I use to work in a marketing department and i specialize in organizing events and sending invites was part of my job.
You could try this:
NOTE:
All iceskating expenses for bearer of the invite are paid for in advance out of goodwill. Your presence is very much appreiciated. Thank you for making the party such a wonderful one.
However, the policy of xx company (name the skating company) requires the parents and additional siblings to pay an extra $6 each if they want to skate.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

All you need to put on the invitation is that all fees are taken care of for the invited classmates. Any parents or siblings who are interested in attending should bring their six dollars to pay for their admittance. Just make it clear on the invitation. As a parent I would not be offended.

Something like, for those coming that did not receive a direct invitation the fee for skate rental is $6. Or for those bringing siblings the fee is....

Hi im sure the parents will understand, but if they dont just, put on the invites. that if parents like to join in the fun also the charge is $6. each for an adult. This clears it all up,

Heck, I understand the predicament you're in...
Well I guess if you make the invite to the kid personal (like Dear Joseph... ), you can mention you'd be happy to offer him one ticket to enjoy skating with your 8yr old.
Not sure if you need to explicitly state the parents and other siblings are not covered... I mean like the additional per family if they wanna skate also is wat? another $24? not like they can't afford to pay their own.
So the more impt matter would be to sort out the logistics dat day so you don't end up giving free tickets to more than one kid... so you dun get a PR crisis on your hands. But hey, if the kid wants to transfer his ticket, wat does it matter since it's already budgeted for right?

Just do it like they do on that MTV show Sweet 16. Put a bouncer at the door and if someone shows up that was not invited have a the bouncer throw them into the parking lot.

I would just say, If others are invited that are not on the invite, you are to pay for their fee.

you can get cut out skates and include them in the invite with the kids name and tell them that's how the rink can identify them as pre-paid skaters and ask them to wear them. then
you can include put on the invitation in parenthesis the price for rentals for those who also wish to skate, but note that the invitee is included in the party package
sorry, I subscribe to the direct approach as it minimizes confussion and misunderstandings

My neice did this: your child is invited to skate at the party.If you bring siblings or want to skate your self the rink charges $6.00 per person.
