I know this has nothing to do with baseball but does this happen every where?
My granddaughter (6) wanted to invite 4 of her best friends in her class to a birthday party.
she took the invitations to school but was not allowed to give them out unless she had one for everyone in her class.

My son is in high school now, but when he was younger his school had the same rule. Just mail them to the kids. Or have mom send an email.
standard practice these days.
njbb,
Congratulations on your grandchild. What an amazing experience. We have one who is now 20 months. His name is "Derek!" They have a massive photo of a player our grandson says is "Jetr."
He does not get any static from Grandpa.
I seen where some will only make it a dance line party or a girls softball party only.
Maybe a baseball T-Ball team birthday party,so if you are not part of this group then no invite for you...
yeah the mom will say well we are just having the dance line over for the party, sleepover etc.
I say ok then you dont get a gift from me either...enjoy your cupcakes...

It's not uncommon. I don't think it's a rule per se - just the teacher not wanting to have the aggravation of dealing with the rest of the class whining about how they didn't get an invite.
Teachers don't have time to deal with outside birthday parties and problems they cause when only a few are invited. It's a private party outside school. Invites should be sent or delivered outside of school. If they are best friends they prob have addresses or know where they live.
See no problem w rule. I would like to see no invites at all at school.
It's a good rule because it's good for team chemistry.
I'm serious.
Right in line with the Valentines Day thing. My first exposure to how rough women can be was in about 3rd grade when the "weird girl" in my class did not get a single Valentine day card from any of the other 15/16 girls in the class.
I remember sitting next to her and looking over and seeing her shaking and holding back tears. It was 1971 and I never gave it another thought because we made each other suffer every day but somehow the glimpse of true emotional pain of that girl struck me. I was a little nicer afterward but not as much as I should have been.
So I get the notion of exclusion and kids banging on each other starts early and can leave a mark.
