Feeling bad about child's party invites

My child recently had a birthday party which the venue limited to so many children.
Unfortunately we couldn't invite everyone we know even though I'd have loved to but obviously close friends and family take priority.

Since the party there has been snide messages and comments about people's children that haven't been invited. I feel awful as I said, I wish I could have hosted everyone!

Has anyone else had a similar experience

Thats unfortunate. Do you have a garden? Why not organise a big garden play date (not a party) with all the friends and when you invite the kids you can explain the problem about the venue.

Its really hard when there’s a cap on numbers and you have to select friends.

I probably would’ve changed to a different venue that could accommodate all of DC’s friends

I'd ignore.

You simply can't invite everyone you know ?! They are being ridiculous.
