Dilemma

My daughter will be celebrating her birthday with a slumber party this year. There will be six in total. Her two closest friends will be able to enjoy the celebrations, but not sleepover due to religious/cultural differences. Two other friends had a fall out back in July and look to have no intention of making up. Which leaves the final girl who is a twin. My daughter does not want to invite her twin sister as they are not very close. The problem being the mum is likely to take offence, not to mention the uninvited twin being hurt. Please could somebody advise their next move forward??

It’s tough, twins aren’t joined at the hip. It’s good for them to have time apart.

I agree, I actually have twins too and we just parent very differently. I asked just one for a playdate a while back, and she basically said no, but that they could ALL get together down the line, so I know what I'm in store for, for this birthday invite. It's a shame because my girl and the first twin have grown close since ending up in the same class.

DD is very close to one twin and just friendly with her identical sister.

We did invoice just her close twin friend and luckily the Mum was a little surprised but fine with it.

I'd invite just the twin that DD is friends with and let DD know that there's a chance the Mum will say no.
