Joint birthday party etiquette

DS9 has been invited to the party of his only school friend on the weekend. I've looked on the invite and it says the party is joint with the child's younger sibling who neither me or DS know.

I had planned to send a present and a card for the friend only, but is it wrong to not send anything for the sibling? I can't really afford to double up but I should I half the amount spent on the friend and buy both kids something? I don't really know what sort of thing they would like or want and I would have liked to buy something specific that was nice for the friend but I won't be able to afford it if it's the done thing to buy for both kids.

Not really sure how it works as this is the first birthday party he's ever been to as he has ASD but the party is a gaming party which is his major interest, and he's desperate to go.

Do you for both kids or just buy for the friend?

Buy for the friend.

Round our way it's always buy for both at joint parties. If it's siblings and only one is the friend, I would do a normal present for the friend and just a little thing (sweets) for the sibling though.
