Yes I was thinking of having it outside in a gym for kids or a meuseum . I have never invited the whole class so far. I am not even sure if this is the norm
We've been to parties where either only girls were invited or the entire class was invited but it was always outside the home. How many kids? I think once you go over 10-15 kids it can sometimes get chaotic.
So my child just moved to a new area and new school, since she does not have any friends that she will pick to celebrate her birthday with , is it a good idea to invite the whole class?
Just take some cupcakes to her classroom for all the kids.

Yes do it. Three years ago I am also new to this area where I live now. I invited my daughter's whole bunch of girls to party. we went to the film puss in boots together with 10 girls and had happy meal lunch from MacDonald, That gave big courage to have friends. I did only the whole set of girls. I also send the treat to whole class too. Till now she has many friends.
I invited the whole class to my son's 6th or 7th birthday party. It was warm and could be outside. One girl had to come in to use the bathroom. I'm an artist and there are paintings hung throughout the house. When this girl's mother came to pick her up, the girl ran across the yard yelling about the nekkid picture hanging on the wall in that house. It was so funny! That kid was surely in a den of iniquity!
If she's new and hasn't made particular friends yet you could always invite just all the girls. In most classes that wouldn't be more than 10 kids and figure 2 or 3 won't be able to make it and then it's quite manageable.
One of our girl's 1st grade classmates invited the entire class (about 20 people) to a simple party held in the playground across from the school. They said "no gifts, please" and supplied juice and pizza. The party consisted of kids playing on the swings and stuff. This is my ideal for what a party should be about.
Now she's in 4th grade, and I'm trying to put a stop to the gift thing, which I hate. We're going to rent a cheap hall, get a friend to play some fiddle music, get another friend to call some square dances, and she can invite her whole class, plus her Sunday school class, plus whoever else she wants. 40-50 kids would be great! We'll get a bunch of pizzas and juice, not a big expense, and of course no gifts. Maybe we'll go to the dollar store and get some bags of baubles to give out as party favors, or maybe not.
We invited the whole class for my son's sixth birthday party, he was in kindergarten. We had it at our house, outside. We rented a tent for shade or in case of rain and rented a bounce house. We got cheap crafts at Oriental Trading to help keep them busy. Like you we were fairly new to the area. Also my son is autistic so making close friends was/is hard for him. This was a nice way for him to be like other kids. So figure it's nice for those kids who usually don't get included. In the area I live it seems common up to first grade or so to invite them all as it seemed like every week he had an invite to a party.
my daughter was telling me that my granddaughters teacher said that if the invites were handed out at school they had to invite the whole class because they are concerned about some kids feelings getting hurt for not being invited ...really ? the nerve of these school administrators telling ppl how they should do things . yeah my daughter did ask if she could send cupcakes , treat bags etc since her bday is so close to Halloween and the teacher told my daughter no it was not allowed anymore . So I think my daughter is going to do the party at a local park no fuss no muss sort of thing . She will serve chips and punch and cake and that is it . I think that will be a nice party . I think if you invite the whole class you will have trouble handling all those kids unless some parents come as well and from prior exp that will not be very many parents .

Well, yeah. They DO have the right to say how things are done in their school.
Don't want the whole class?
Don't hand out invitations in school....
simple really.
