This is odd right? Re: kids party

[Crunchymum]

DC1 has been invited to a party at the weekend. Invite says joint party but there are only details for one kid "please come to Bella's party" (and rsvp for the parent of this child. I've sent a message and said "My child A would love to come to Bella's party".

I assumed the "joint" party child was someone unknown to us, hence the invite just being to one child's party of the party, but it turns out that Bella is having a joint party with Charlie who is also in DC's class? So my child has not been invited to Charlie's part of the party?

Sorry if it's confusing. But this is odd right?

Thanks all, Bella's mum replied to my rsvp saying they look forward to seeing my DC at the party so we are definitely invited in some capacity

Interesting Ghoul as this was my initial thought. Glad I did find out as it would have made me feel more awkward had I turned up and discovered the mystery party child is another classmate.

If ever a Venn diagram were needed, is here

I was literally just imagining this as a Venn diagram

If you buy two presents OP make sure you get two party bags of tut (and birthday cake!!) to bring home.

Could just do with a slice of birthday cake, a really sickly one with fondant icing and a jam and buttercream filling.....

...I also agree that the parents are trying to be thoughtful and ungrabby!

Sounds perfectly normal to me. Youngest went to a joint birthday party when he was at primary a few years back, two people in his class who shared a birthday.
Birthday Child A invited some friends, Birthday Child B invited some of theirs too.
All was one big joint party together, but this way you buy a birthday present for the child you were invited by and not both.
They sound like nice, normal people to me and as an aside, it's unusual on MN to see posts that say ungrabby as it's usually CF's and the total opposite!

Like a pp we have joint twin parties but one dc's name only on the invite that way parents aren't thinking they have to get two presents, some do anyway but that is their choice so I don't feel bad about it.

The weird thing is that some people have invitations from both. If everyone was invited by one child it makes more sense.

Well when my pair make their lists some people are on both, I make them juggle it so they have different people but the organizers of this party didn't bother. Or maybe one side sent out invites just with their dc's name on and the other side put both dc's name on.
I have far to much time on my hands in the school pick up line!
