My sons (twins) will be 8, they each picked 6 friends to invite to their (combined) birthday party....all the kids, of course, know they are twins, and all know each other. 2 on each list "match" and are our neighbors.
But since they are old enough to have different friendships and have been invited to parties separately....I don't want people to feel like they need to bring a gift for both....actually - I don't care if they birng ANY gift - but know they will.
How do I word my invitations when it says "who" the party is for? How have you handled it? With twins - or any other combined party, I know many people have kids with close birthdays just different years...
OR as a parent recieving an ivite for a combined pary...do you want to know it's combined? Or just for the child who invited your child?
I'm also thinking about upping their list each by 2. I know that the attendance rate is only about half. but the thought of 18 8 year boys in my backyard on the off chance they all shows scars the ---- out of me!

My kids aren't twins but are in the same grade. And they both got invited to a party for triplets recently. I temporarily had a breakdown while thinking of the cost of six presents (one from each of my two for each of the three!)
Then when I opened it I realized she had each of the triplets invite 6 people each so the invitation was from one child to one child. Then she had just put a little note at the bottom that the paty was for all three kids but so it was clear that it was one child invited by one child. I wish I could remember exactly how she phrased it, but I think it was something like 'We will be celebrating Tom, Fred, and Joe's birthday.' But the main invitation showed just the child's name that was inviting my child.
Hope that makes sense!
