Inviting Friends' Kids to Your Kid's Parties?

Do you think it's a good idea to invite your friends' children to parties for your child regardless of how your child feels about those children?

But odds are those kids are together at school or outside activities too, if nothing else, like with family if the adult friends are close. I still don't see the need when it's their special day - that should be their choice, IMHO.

See, that's what I think too.

I never did that (ds is 19), nor did my parents. It's that child's day (I'm assuming birthday party?); let them have who they want. That also was an advantage to a summer birthday, he got to invite who he wanted without having to disappoint anyone.
