I think it was very wrong of a parent to give his kid invitations to pass out at school, when not all the kids were invited. That is just bad manners. We need to teach our children that they do have the right to invite who they want, yet...discretion and tact should be implied. My daughter is going thru the same issue. There are 36 kids in her class. I told her to invite 5-7 kids to take to the movies. We will be mailing the invites.
