Re: Invite to party 10 days prior to event?
Honestly, it would never occur to me to think we are "B list" invitees. This is a kid party. Kids are fickle, parents are busy, I would chalk it up to that.
If your kid wants to go and you are free, go. If not, decline. I would not read any further into it.

Most likely the parents threw the party together last minute. I wouldn't think you're b list.

I usually send around 14 days before, so 10 doesn’t seem that weird to me.

It seems that lately invites have been coming within 2 weeks, sometimes a week. Definitely not the "B" list in our case, since these are good friends of my DD. I think many people just don't plan parties far in advance anymore. Especially as they get older
Same here. Most of our invites have been coming really close to the event.

So funny these responses... anytime I get an invite, I respond right away... if we aren’t busy, and my dd wants to attend, we go. I don’t wait to see if something better comes along... it kinda makes me sad that people do this.
Personally family graduations, showers, etc trump a classmate birthday. I don't mean I'm waiting to see if a better kid's party comes along. I assume most people would feel the same way.
Well that’s different of course. Should something like that come up, I’d just tell the parent that we didn’t know we had a family obligation that day and we’re sorry that we have to change to a no...

Re: Invite to party 10 days prior to event?
I think that's a normal time frame for kids parties. We were just invited to one and it's less than 2 weeks away. The last party we were invited to was the same thing. I know we weren't b-list because all the kids got them on the same day. Even if we were b-listed, I wouldn't care, I'd still bring DS if he wanted to go.

Re: Invite to party 10 days prior to event?
I def wouldnt think you were an after thought...as others have said, a lot of people don't plan kids parties too far in advance...I actually LOL when someone sends me an invite for a kids party 2 months in advance...like really? I don't know what the heck I am doing 2 months from now lol.
I am actually planning my sons birthday now for Saturday, May 19th and I plan to give a couple friends from his soccer team the invites this Saturday! I sent a text invite to my friends. I would hope the parents from soccer wouldnt think they were an after thought...I just figured i would give it to them when I see them. If they cant come and 2 weeks isnt enough notice...well then oh well lol. I woudlnt take it personally.

It's possible your child was "b-list ", but I wouldn't take offense because kids parties are so expensive, and they usually have a limit of how many kids are included in the price before they start charging even more. Unfortunately, many parents have to limit how many invites they send out at first so they don't end up paying a lot extra if too many kids RSVP yes. And 10 days isn't THAT close to the party date. Many of the invites my dd gets have an rsvp date for just 1 week prior to the party.
I totally agree with this. SOme parents, including myself, try to keep the guest list close to the number of kids allotted in the package, but if I see its a week or two before and we had more "no" rsvp's then expected, I will expand the guest list to friends that are not that close to my DD but she would be happy to have there in any case.
