Should I invite the whole grade?
Here's one landmine kids often come up against: should I invite the entire grade or not? Some schools have a laissez-faire attitude about the matter; others have actual administration-approved policies. At one school in Manhattan, for instance, the highly recommended -- but not mandatory -- policy is that kids invite their entire homeroom. Then, if they're inviting more than 75% of the rest of the kids, they should invite everyone. Across town, a Jewish day school does ask families to invite the entire grade.
Of course, finances, the size of your party location and your child's personality all factor in so this isn't always practical. Wondering if you should rethink that yacht for 30 so your child can invite the entire grade? Have him or her take THIS QUIZ.
