Then there is E who I know less well, but she is friends with C and D. And then there are more down the line. If I invite everyone, I'll be 8 kids over my limit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-does-a-friend-have-to-be-to-invite-to-birthday-party#post-2182631 Tue, 19 May 2015 07:50:47 +0000 Mamaof2 2182631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: you know your a mom when..... :silly: </p> <p>@aprild: I would probably invite them all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-does-a-friend-have-to-be-to-invite-to-birthday-party#post-2182627 Tue, 19 May 2015 07:48:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2182627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there's room and you're already paying I'll go ahead and invite A, B, C &amp; D (chicka chicka boom boom!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-close-does-a-friend-have-to-be-to-invite-to-birthday-party#post-2182618 Tue, 19 May 2015 07:40:30 +0000 cat620 2182618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's birthday is coming up, and I'm finalizing the guest list. We're having his party at Gymboree, so I can have up to 12 kids and their parents. I have my core group of mom friends that I am inviting, but that is about 5 women and their kids. I also want to invite a few of my less close friends that I still see frequently.</p> <p>My question is: the friends I see less frequently, some of them I am closer to than others. For example, I have friend A and B that I see maybe a couple times a month. But A and B are good friends with C and D that I see maybe once a month or less. If I invite A and B, C and D will know that they weren't invited, and I don't want to have any hurt feelings. Should I just go ahead and invite A, B, C and D? Is there some sort of rule you follow on who to invite to parties? </p>
