Inviting whole class to party

My son has 22 kids in his class, he has picked 13/14 or so kids to invite to his 7th birthday party (including him) plus he has one or two cousins that will come. We don’t have a huge house but the living space is fairly open plan/spacious and we have an entertainer coming, and if it’s nice they can go outside too. It’s unlikely parents will stay as they haven’t recently at house parties so I’m not worried there being extra adults in the house. I’m wondering if I should just make him invite the whole class and what your cutoff number is for just swapping to a whole class invite? It seems a little mean to leave off 8 kids. Presuming the all come it means we could at most have 24 kids here which seems a lot but hopefully at least a few can’t make the party as it’s late November so will be a busy time of year.

I think 13 out of 24 is fine. 20 out of 24 not so much.

Agree with previous poster.

Current numbers are fine.

I think just make sure you're not in a situation where there's one boy in the class who is the only boy not invited. (I'm assuming that at age 7 your DS will be inviting more boys than girls.)

I think that's fine.

I would also consider the reason your DS has not chosen the other children to invite, before inviting them all anyway.
