It seems like about 6th grade when parties that include boys and girls turn into "boy-girl" parties.

Thanks for the responses.
I just dont want these new mothers thinking my kid is a little temptress trying to seduce their boys when that's the furthest thing from her mind at this point. LOL
Chiming in a bit late but I think we do our kids a great diservice when we give the message that the only kind of relationship possible between boys and girls is a romantic one. By forbidding interaction between the sexes we are telling them there is only one kind of interaction. We don't want them pairing off but we won't let them just be friends either.
So I think just do what your DD wants and ignore the rest.
I think that a group event is fine for mixed genders in a public place with a parent to supervise at this age.

I think there is nothing wrong with it at all!

My dd had boys at her 13th birthday party. She has always invited boys to her parties. She knows the boys well and we know their parents.
I don't think your dd is a temptress at all. :)
Thanks so much everyone. I appreciate your insight.
Okay, here is a perspective from a mom of a son close to your daughters age.
