DS's bday is in November. We are attempting to figure out what type of party to give DS. Last year there were 7 kids in his class and his ONE cousin and ONE outside friend were invited. Since there were only 7 kids we felt like they all needed to be invited.
This year there will again be 7 kids in his class (new school and different kids). However, DS will also start Hebrew School, and he has already met several of the kids who will be in the program with him. If we invited ALL the kids in DS's class and ALL the kids in DS's Hebrew School class, plus his cousin and good friend the party could get up to 20+ kids. Normally, not an issue. However, since DS's bday is in the fall I can't do a party for that many kids at home indoors (simply not enough room). We have to pick another venue. Venues with 20 kids can run you upwards of $500 here and that is not an option for us right now. I'm wondering if it would be OK for DS to invite a few kids from school, a few kids from Hebrew school plus his cousin and good outside friend to end up with 10-12 kids? Part of me would prefer this. The other part of me would be offended if my kid (from such a small school class) was not invited (I would not feel this way if the class were over 20 kids). Another option is to invite his entire school class and just a couple of kids from Hebrew School that he has become friendly with.
