Feeling bad about child's party invites

[SummerFinally]

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

No? It was just the culture of the school that DD was at (small prep) that every child was always invited to parties in the younger years. Her entire year group was only 28 kids so it was never a big issue for anyone. Do you have a problem with this?

Weird. I’ve only ever seen that happen once and that was I think because the parents invited a whole class of reception age kids, a boisterous boy heavy class as well, to their house and didn’t really plan much in
way of activities so the kids just went mental. Normal church hall, soft play, bowling, cinema type parties have all be fine!

This poster seems to be against full class invitations full stop for some sad reason. They must be fun at parties! 😵‍💫 Safe to say they likely don’t get invited to many and are bitter about it
