I want to limit the age of the kids who attend my kids’ party. I don’t want kids older than 5-years-old attending the party since it is at a museum that is targeted to this age range. I am concerned that my extended family will want to bring their tweens to attend this party. I really don’t want this! How can I say it nicely so they aren’t offended?
Be proactive with those that you are concerned about. Pick up the phone and let them know directly that you are limiting the kids to the age range you have in mind. If there are only 1-2 kids you are concerned about in your family, you may want to provide them the opportunity to help out at the party with the kids. This gives them a helpful role to you, and you avoid having to say a complete “no” to their attendance. If there are other guests with older siblings that you are concerned about outside of family, make sure to direct your party invitation only to the child being invited. Be prepared when the RSVPs come rolling in with people asking if siblings can also attend.
Good Luck!
