On our street, every kid gets invited to every birthday party (for the kids about 5 and under). And it's usually at some indoor party place. I'm trying to keep things simple this year and cheaper, as those party places can cost around 200-300 dollars. I just want to have a small party at our house with immediate family and a few friends. I would really just like to invite the boys his age. (There are 3 of them) and have a Lightning Mcqeen themed party. Would it be rude to exclude the other children on the street, since we got invited to their parties. Also, one of the boys I want to invite has a 7 year old sister and the other boy has 3 siblings, one of them being his twin sister. I don't want any one's feelings to be hurt and I don't want to appear rude. Would it be innappropriate to not invite the sisters, especially the twin? If you were the other parents, what would you think. Thanks

I've should have included this: This reason I was thinking of just inviting the boys is because I had to draw the line somewhere in order to keep the guest list very small. I appreciate the answers I have received so far.

You can invite whoever you want to your sons party, but I would keep in mind that when parents bring a child to a party and they have other children close in age, they usually have them along with them. It just might be awkward for everyone when a parent kind if expects that their other child can join in and you have to say sorry it is just for the boys. I might be offended.
If you really need to save money why don't you take a few of his friends with you guys to do something different than the party place, like a kids movie with cake and presents after at your home or really anything more intimate for a smaller group. That way no one would expect their other children to join in.

i would think it was rude unless it was an over night party then i would understand.
