Etiquette Q For Kidmos: Are Siblings Implicitly Invited To Kids B-Day Parties?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 11th, 2026 1:15 PM Author: yellow gas station circlehead does this depend on the location? what other variables?
another kid in son's prek class is having a bday party on a sunday afternoon. they presumably invited the whole class, which is required. party is at a kids' facility where presumably the parents have to either pay per kid, or pay a flat fee but have a limit on the number of the kids.
i dont expect them to pay for shit for everyone's other siblings, but i'm not sure what the protocol is. if we have to split up the family on a sunday, we probably just wouldnt go. |
Date: February 11th, 2026 1:17 PM Author: boyish pervert lay Ask if you can bring the sibling and offer to pay for the sibling. 80% of the time they say its ok and you don’t have to pay. Sometimes the number of kids is capped and you have to pay for that sibling.
You should ask though. This happens all the time. |

if i were on the other side, i wouldnt actually ask the parent to pay but i'd be annoyed at having to pay. hell, we probably just would have a bday party not at some goyishe place. |

Date: February 11th, 2026 1:50 PM Author: boyish pervert lay You def should ask. It’s rude to just show up with a sibling without asking. Not a huge deal, but still a little rude IMO. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833643&forum_id=2#49663435) |

but from a technical standpoint, it's expensive and a hassle to install a bunch of hard-wired timer switches for wall switches in your house.
for a plug in lamp, it's easy to use a timer.
btw big picture, it's easier just to avoid as many timers as possible. the last minute scramble before shabbos starts is stressful, and having to set up timers is one more thing. easy to screw up and have them either not go on or on for the wrong hours, so easier just to leave them on.

Date: February 11th, 2026 1:22 PM Author: obsidian partner Siblings are not invited unless explicitly listed. Inviting the whole class might be 20 kids (which at many venues is already expensive). Add in siblings and it's a fortune.
Commercial venue it's a hard no. Home party you could maybe ask, especially if your kid is too young to drop off and you don't have coverage at home. If it's a play place just pay for your kid to separately do their own thing while you keep an eye on them and you are nearby if your other kid needs anything at the party. Never presume and try not to put pressure on the host to accommodate you if you can avoid it. |

Edit: def no for drop off parties |
|
Date: February 11th, 2026 2:05 PM Author: obsidian partner Right but you got permission ahead of time. I think you still have to be careful b/c they pay per person. If my venue includes 20 kids and only 15 can come, yeah I will be more welcoming of siblings. If it's 10 kids and every one after that costs $20, that makes it tougher.
I agree def not for drop-off parties and it shouldn't be necessary. It's only an issue when you HAVE to have the sibling with you. But you should do your best to not put the host in that position. |
|
Date: February 11th, 2026 1:35 PM Author: tripping property for a home party, when kids are young enough that parents are staying, siblings are expected and normal.
if it's a drop off party (home or commercial setting), then no siblings.
if it's a commercial spot and parents are staying, i would expect younger siblings to stay and join. for example, if the party is for 5 year olds, i'd expect some parents to bring 3 year old siblings and would probably explicitly invite them.
edit: for younger kids, i look at birthday parties as an event where you invite a family rather than just the kid. |

Date: February 11th, 2026 2:07 PM Author: obsidian partner If it's a commercial place you are usually paying per kid. It's pretty rude to presume you can just bring yours. There's a lot of variables here. Some are places where they are open to the public and you can just pay for the sibling yourself and that's fine (though you should not eat food at the party b/c they budgeted for a specific amount of people). Some places are closed to the public and exclusively for parties. That forces the host to pay for your kid and is inconsiderate.

|
Date: February 11th, 2026 2:45 PM Author: soggy codepig For ages where you invite whole class, a prestigious host will explicitly invite siblings so you don’t have to worry. To do otherwise implies that $20 is a lot of money to you, that you are trying to feed a bunch of kids on two pizzas and a single tray of cupcakes, and that you have failed to procure an entire suitable venue and are getting by on a limited capacity room in some prole shitvenue.
If you’ve been invited to that second type of party, just reply “unsubscribe” and teach your child the importance of affiliating with the right kind of people. Also consider moving or changing schools. |

Date: February 11th, 2026 2:50 PM Author: yellow gas station circlehead the school requires the whole class be invited, or all of the class of the same gender, if inviting at least 1 kid from the class.

|
Date: February 11th, 2026 3:01 PM Author: soggy codepig Yeah that’s a good policy for young ages. But if you’re already inviting aspies and fat kids then you should also accommodate siblings within reason (obviously you can’t drop off a toddler at a middle-school party or vice versa). Once you get to the age with a curated guest list then you invite the family if you know everyone or the specific child if not and it’s clear.

In the culutre of the oppressor, only the specifically invited guests can come (i.e., the classmates, and maybe a couple friends of the birthday boy/girl's siblings, if he/she has siblings). It's rude to even ask about bringing one of your other kids, unless (a) it's an infant, who won't even really do the gymnastics or arcade games or whatever or (b) the party is at a public park and it's nbd if some siblings come and also play on the playground or whatever. |

and there's something deeply wrong with telling your kid they can't do anything on a Saturday. Ever.

Date: February 11th, 2026 11:13 PM Author: Exciting tank Seems to have gotten to the right place here.
Based on NYC where parties at kid gyms are $50 per kid or so:
1. Kid gym/paid facility - drop off - siblings definitely not invited and don’t ask. 2. Same as 1 but parents stay - siblings are welcome if they’re young enough that they can’t participate in the activity and won’t throw a fit that they’re not “part of the party.” 3. Home party follows the same rules as 1-2, but if parents are staying you can say “we’d love to make it but I can’t because of childcare for little sibling.” The host should then offer to let you bring the little sibling. If it’s at a public place like a park, you are OK just straight up asking if siblings are invited. If they’re not the people are sociopaths and you shouldn’t go. 4. If you bring a second kid, bring a small second gift. Like a coloring book or something 5. Don’t waste your time having both parents at a birthday party. You and wife should split up for this and alternate. It’s a rare opportunity to have solo time for one parent and it’s not that hard to watch a little one when there are tons of other kids and parents around. 6. Once you get to 1st grade or so and everyone has been through this, parents will stop being retarded and tell you if it’s drop off etc. in the invite. |
