If I had to invite everyone it would get way out of hand. We have friends outside playgroup and family we want to invite - I couldn't think of a worse way to celebrate anything - 15 kids running screaming through they house *shiver (but that might just be me). We might invite 1 or 2 friends though.
I'm lucky the other kinder mums feel the same, no one cares if not every child gets an invite to every party. Most of us have more than 2 kids and don't plan on having a big party, every year for each child. One of the mums invited every child in the kinder class to her childs 5th - the poor girl reckons it took her 6 months to get over it
We have a joint birthday party for all the kids in our mum's group (there are ten of us), usually in a park, then do whatever we like for the individual ones, with invitations to all if that's what we want to do (or not) but no expectation that others from mum's group will be able to make it. It works well for us!
