Invite who your child wants to invite depending on how large you want the party. If there was only a child or two that weren’t invited I would invite them and explain to my child why I was inviting them. We used to have a limit on how many children were invited.

Depends on location and budget. If you want a big one, have the space and can afford it (as well as manage that many kids high on sugar) then invite them all

Invite how many people you can afford or ask your child who they want to come.

Good to know! There really interesting comments on this!

Invite only who your child wants, keep it subtle. The primary school may have rules about this but the kindergarten may not.

I would say just a a few close family friends who may or may not be part of your kindy friends. Don’t get caught up in the hype.

With my two when they were in Kindy we had the whole class but once they hit year 1 then we started to drop the number down. It also depend on you child as well and how they get on with all the kids.

If you can afford it the class. I’ve been the mum who was 1 of 2 not invited. Nasty as it wasn’t money based, and the kids while not besties got along as well as many others invited. No issue between mothers either was odd.

A friend of mine invited the whole class and only 1 turned up. I would just take cupcakes to the school and just let the child invite the friends he/she wants to there party.

I would let me child choose 2 of his closest friends

If it was me I would invite the whole class as I would find it too sad to the other children especially when they are in kindy.

there are some good comments here

All depends on your budget, just pick 6 or so if you want to keep costs down.

Take a cupcake stand to kindy – if this is allowed – so everyone can join in and then have just the special playmates over for a little private party later.

Hope the party went well.
