So my daughter started reception 3 weeks ago. She has about 5 friends there that she plays with daily and gets along with well. 3 of those she went to nursery with last year, and the other 2 she has bonded well with over the last 3 weeks.
Her birthday is in November, she has never had a party before, but we thought since it's her first year at school it would be nice to throw her one, (at a soft play probably) as I know she will be getting invites to her classmates parties over the next few years, and I wouldn't want her to feel left out not having a party. But that aside -
My issue is how many people do we invite ???
There's the typical, send an invite to everyone in the class, and see who responds.. (probably won't be everyone) OR invite her handful of friends only ??
Would I be unreasonable to only invite her 5 friends instead of the whole class ? Or is this frowned upon.
I know somebody will say to exclusively invite the 5, not with invites in school , the issue here is I do not speak to their parents, so it would be difficult to do this.
Please give me your opinions. Thank you !

At that age I'd invite the whole class, how will you/your dd feel when she doesn't get invited to the rest of the classes parties.

I'd do the 5 friends this year and a class party next year when they have all bonded a bit
