5th birthday party - how do I not invite all of his kinder classmates?

Is it not possible to have a BBQ lunch at a park?

For my eldest we invited everyone in the class and had it at an indoor playground (when he turned 5) His birthday is in July. It was a little exxy but the kids had a ball..

For DS2 and 3 we did the same thing.. invited everyone but had it at a park. Ds2 was meant to have a jumping castle and everything but the rain (2010) started so we switched to a room at the library.. Over 30 kids plus parents.. Loud yes but kids loved it..

the way of kinder world at our kindy is that the carers slip an invite into the pigeon hole without telling the invited child and then they let the parents know upon pick-up. this has happened heaps and i know there were parties that others were invited to that DD wasnt and it all worked out (ie, no hurt feelings etc). but it does take discretion on part of the kinder carers ITMS.

My kids old school had a rule that invites couldnt be handed out in class - it was unfair to those who missed out. Keep it smaller, just post out the invites instead
