how to mention in our bday invite that siblings of the invitee are not invited?

I was thinking of writing something like unfortunately, we cannot accommodate siblings at this party.
Wdyt? Is there a better way of wording this?

I think that's fine because IMO, the only people it's directed at are those that think it's ok to bring an uninvited sibling!!

This. Unfortunately you have to be direct because many people don't get it!

My oldest was invited to a classmates party. The invite simply said "sorry no siblings". Direct and to the point. That's the only way to go, imo

You don't need to give a reason why, but if you did feel like you wanted to, you can say something like:

"Given space restrictions, we are unable to accomodate siblings"

And you are smart to include this. I had to deal with awk sibling issues at DD's recent party.

I think this is good. I also address all invites just to the child invited.
I find it so rude that people actually believe they can bring a sibling to a bday party when they were not invited. I am having DD bday on Saturday it will be interesting to see if anyone brings their other child.

I'm with you. Unless it's a close friend, I never assume my other child is invited.
