My son is invited to a joint birthday party of his classmate + her older sister in a few weeks. We'll definitely bring a gift for the little sister (my son's friend), but what about the older sister? Should we bring a gift also for her?
I think it's actually the older sister's birthday - as the little sister's birthday is earlier in the fall (I think it's sometime in August/September) - but they decided to make it a joint birthday party as the little sister didn't have a party on her actual birthday.
I'd feel like I had to bring something for both of them honestly. Maybe a joint gift is appropriate or something bigger for the one your son is friends with and something small for the other.

I'm leaning that way too. Buy the usual birthday gift for the little sister, and maybe a smaller one for the older sister.
I think it would be extremely presumptuous for a party giver to expect you to buy two gifts. I see no problem if each of the children invite their friends, and each guest brought one present for the sibling who invited them.

I don't think they'd expect it...I'd just feel weird giving something to one and not the other at those ages. But I tend to go overboard on birthdays so I'm probably the wrong person to listen to lol.
Just get a gift for your child's friend. If it's a joint party, then the sis will have HER friends who will bring gifts.
