To the OP, I'm glad everything went well.
I think it is OK to leave a 5 year old at a party. Many 5 year olds already are left for significant amounts of time at school, scouts, etc...

That's not always realistic, especially is there are 3 or more kids in the family.

You drop off the invited child and stay with the UNinvited children somewhere else. It isn't fair to the hosts that you bring your entire family and make them pay for all of you in a situation like this. If you are afraid of dropping off your one child, talk the host beforehand.

No, they don't. You can mail/email anyone you want, just use the USPS/evite/e-mail server instead of the school to hand out the invitations. If you use the school, then you need to follow their rules.
