Well, moving to this neighborhood has brought out things in people I have never been confronted with.

Yes the whole etiquette for parties has changed quite a bit.

Around here for parties that are at places like the public pool, the indoor soccer field, or the gymnastics center, siblings are often included.


With the RSVPing- well the child is the one who was invited by the other child why isn't it ok for them to RSVP to the person who invited them?

You were absolutely right to say no. Her request was rude and presumptuous.


At this age, I no longer think it's necessary to get a call from a parent as an RSVP.

I prefer it when a parent calls me, especially for Caleb's age. For Alexis this year I just told her to ask her friends and let me know.

I think you should give each twin their own party, that way they would feel more special, that it was their own day. My sister and I share a b-day, but we're 4 years apart. I didn't like sharing parties as we got older.
I don't think kids who know one twin should be expected to bring both a present.
The twins should really not be comparing each other's gifts and complaining about it...they should appreciate they are different people and people will get them different things.
If I had to make sure my kids were exactly equal, I would go nuts. my former MIL would give one of my girls a present when it was the other girl's b-day so she wouldn't feel left out...I don't think that's necessary. Kids need to deal with life.

I don't expect both girls to be invited to a party of one of their friends but I know all the moms of my daughters friends and they always tell me they are sending home and invitation with Natalie but her sister is invited as well.
