The more the Merry. You dont want to hurt a little ones feelings, you would not want someone hurting your kids feelings. Just let the Kid come. The more the Merry.

Just explain to this childs mother that the reason that her child wan'nt invited is that you were trying to keep it to closest friends and family members for budget reasons. I'm sure she'll understand. Tell her her child can go but to please not tell any others about it. Hope this works for you. I think you may be stuck with one more child.

That would be considered a party crasher and rude on her behalf as well. SO you dont know for sure that they will show up- but as for what to do....if the party is at your house and really wont cost too much for one more child, then let the child come and i'd probably never speak to the idiot who invited her again! LOL. But if its at a place like Chuck E Cheese where you actually have to pay per guest, then I would politely call the mother of the uninvited guest and explain to her that you were only holding a small party of your childest closest friends and family and that you really need to stick to your budget, and I would also call up the idiot who invited her and tell her that it was pretty rude that she took it upon herself to invite someone on her own. But- that would probably mean one less kid at the party because she will probably tell you she wont be joining you! IMO- Oh well- one less rude person to deal with! Ha!

Maybe you'll make a new friend(even though this woman seems incredibly rude). If you do bring it up, it may cause tension before/during your child's birthday party. Hopefully, it's just a few other people. I would definitely let it go, and understand this stuff happens. I usually have a party at my daughter's school so that all the children can celebrate with her, and then have a small family party for her at home. I find it's more enjoyable that way.

Welcome them and everyone will have fun. Exclusion can hurt children and they can take it personally. Just imagine your child in that situation. You would hope the mom would be welcoming and nice to your child. One child isn't going to hurt your budget. This will hurt peoples' feelings if you do say no to them. Other kids and their parents that are invited will think of you differently if you exclude. Be positive and happy. She probably got your child a gift.. Just wing it.
