I have to agree with PP's - and yep I would assume that if it was a kids party, then my kids would be invited as well as my DH. I would find it odd to be invited by myself, regardless of how well we know others there etc. You didn't put them on the invite but now that they are saying they are coming, you are saying you don't want them to come, so essentially you are telling them not to come!
No i said i didn't plan for them to come, hence the no name on the invite, but now that they are coming i do not mind, hence why i said maybe i should change the title of this thread instead!
but wow i hope they don't play up, drawing on my walls with pencils will not go down nicely with DH! he won't have it!
