Drew will be 11 next month and he wants to have a bowling party. As long as there aren't too many kids I don't have a problem with it. The kicker is that he doesn't want all his little cousins there (the next oldest that would be able to come is 7). He wants it to be just him and his friends. I think he is old enough now that he shouldn't have to include all his little girl cousins to his party. But I just know that rick's family is going to have a cow about it. I thought that we could just do a cake and ice cream thing for the family and I would still make up little goodie bags for the kiddos. But the actual party would be limited to Drew and his friends.
What do ya'll think of this? And how do I handle telling Rick's family that none of the girls are invited to go bowling with him?

Sounds like a plan to me. I would just be honest with him and tell them Drew is growing up and wants a party with his friends. Everyone was a 11 once. They should understand, espeically, if you have an alternate gathering for family.
