Apologies if this has been covered before...
Haven't organised any kind of party for years but am wondering what to do for DD1s 4th birthday. Would it be OK to invite the kids from DD1s class for some kind of birthday tea / party? I think I'd do this in the UK but not sure what happens here in France... The other kids who have had birthdays def haven't had whole class parties, would it be best to invite just the ones she plays with the most? (Imagines nightmare scenario of DD waiting next to birthday cake for kids who don't turn up).
I'm not really friends with any of the other parents at school, just say hi & chat a bit at pick up time, but that is all. The thing is it's a small village and everyone else seems to have known each other all their lives, and so have their parents before them, and prob their grandparents too. Nobody else has to ask what the done thing is!
