Call the parent or text and ask if you can bring your 3 year old and tell them you will pay. Shouldn’t be an issue if you are upfront about it.
I would do this. By offering to pay for your son from the beginning, you put the person throwing the party in a much less uncomfortable situation. I've had people rsvp and then ask about bringing younger kids - sometimes it's been ok (party at home) but another time I was up to 27 kids to DS1's party at a jump place and the cost was getting crazy. I had to basically tell the person that it was fine but they had to pay for the extra kid. I felt so bad about it.

Re: Birthday party taking sibiling
It depends on the circumstances. I’m having dds party at a place with a strict maximum and we’re just about at it, so if someone asked to bring a sibling I’d be in an awkward spot. I wouldn’t want to say no, but I’m not sure I could.... in your situation, I think you should tell the parent that you habe a childcare issue with your younger child and thus your dc can’t attend, and then wait to see if the parent offers for your younger to come along.

I wouldn't go. You can't add a guest to a party, in my opinion. I'm sure there are limits on participants at a bounce place, what if everyone brought an extra guest?
Just my opinion but I don't think it's appropriate, I would feel bad that my daughter couldn't attend, but not everything works out all the time.
This. Unless you know the mom and are comfortable with asking the mom. I've turned down parties because I couldn't get a sitter for the other 2 kids. I always feel bad if my kid can't attend but sometimes it just doesn't work.
This! Unless its like your Best Friend, it is never OK to ask to bring a sibling even if you offer to pay.
I agree. No one is going to say no if you ask, even if they want to. And offering to pay doesn’t really change the fact that it’s another kid at the party. A friend of mine planned a small party with about 10 kids, by the day of the party she had 6 uninvited siblings, completely defeating the point of inviting a small group.
