Should all children from nursery be invited to parties?

[Wamummy]

Hello!
I am on the fence over something that I found out today, while attending a little boys party from my sons nursery. To cutba long story short I found out that a little girl had had a party and not invited my son. I'm not sure who was and wasn't invited and from what I was told, only a few children attended. I was so upset when I found out, I was under the impression the 'done thing' was to invite all the children? Am I wrong and am I being over sensitive?

You’re being over sensitive. Of course a parent can have a small party for their child. People have what they want and can afford. Your child probably wasn’t the only one not invited.

Of course what they did is fine.

They’re not obliged to hold big parties just so everyone can go.

It would be different if just a few kids were excluded, but that’s not the case here.

Just a small handful of children are normally invited.

You are being very over sensitive. I think the notion that you need to either go all out with a party for potentially 30 kids or have nothing is ridiculous. I don’t really understand why you’re upset. You’re an adult.

From my experience its either a full class or a select few (maybe up to 8ish people). When my son was in nursery he had a birthday party at the local soft play, we invited 3 children from his class as that was the only ones he wanted and thats fine. Had he wanted to invite 25 out of 28 then id of said all or nothing. No point inviting 28 kids if he only plays with 3.

You dont know how many kids were invited so your potentially getting upset over nothing. Every right to be upset if he was the only one not invited.

Thank You for all of your replies. I am very new to this as its my first child so I wasn't sure how this worked. I was clearly under the wrong impression so Thank You for clearing it up 😀

I just invited the girls for dds party from nursery. A whole class party would of overwhelmed her and my daughter didn't play with the boys anyway (doesn't like any kind of rough play fighting type games)
