My son turns 6 soon, and in an attempt to curtail numbers, we are going to invite only the boys in his classroom this year to his party. Although he has been invited to several girls’ parties from his class, we feel this is a fair way to limit the numbers. We are taking the kids to an ice hockey game. Will this seem sexist to other parents?
If you are going to hand out invitations to kids in the classroom often you have to invite the entire class or either all of the boys or all of the girls. So, definitely check with your school to see if there is a policy in place. If you are allowed to only invite all of the boys, this is a perfectly acceptable way to limit your numbers and still be inclusive. Also, if you receive questions from other parents, you can say we decided to limit it to the boys this year. A very easy and clear boundary. The fact that you are taking the boys to an ice hockey game does not make your decision sexist. Your motivation is to limit your guests to a reasonable number, not to exclude girls from attending a hockey game.
