However, I make sure that we go if we say we will and we also make sure to invite the friend to do other things, usually one-on-one stuff, just not birthday parties. </p> <p>What I'm saying is maybe be careful with the "they never invite us to their LO's party" line of reasoning. That's not necessarily a slight. I think the context is important. But, if someone doesn't say yes often, has big parties and doesn't invite you, and doesn't seem interested in hanging out with you generally, I think it's okay to not invite them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-stop-inviting#post-2644154 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 06:05:32 +0000 Cole 2644154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggled with this issue this year. There are two couples we know who never reciprocate but usually show up once every five invitations. They both got cut this year despite having daughter's close to my daughter age, it was easier to do this time since my daughter is easily overwhelmed by lots of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-stop-inviting#post-2644128 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 01:15:58 +0000 birdofafeather 2644128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep inviting friends who seem up for it. When DD1 gets older, she can decide who she wants to invite! I'm of the more is more category. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-stop-inviting#post-2643720 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:57:45 +0000 Boogs 2643720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you continue to invite the same kids to all of your parties even if they never invite you to their parties?</p> <p>One of us has a the more the merrier attitude. The other thinks at some point it gets to be a lot and cuts are ok when invites don't go both ways and they don't always attend our events. </p> <p>Do you ever stop sending invites to certain people? </p>
