My daughter is turning 6 at the end of the month, we are having her birthday at a bowling place and she is allowed to invite 11 kids (there are 18 in her class other than herself) so 7 kids are being left out. We had all her invites ready to go and this morning when I dropped her off at school we passed some out. Unfortunately then some kids who were not invited were asking what the cards were for and one girl who was invited asked me (in front of her friend who wasn't) where her invitation was. This made that little girl cry and I apologized to her mom who was trying to tell her daughter not to cry and now I feel like absolute **** and on the verge of tears. I feel so bad that we can't invite everyone, and I realized the way we did it was probably not the best way as now most if not all the kids who were not invited will probably know.
