It tends to be individual parties for the first couple until parents get wise to it and group them 2/3/4 at a time. Surprised someone with an older sibling hasn't intervened already.
Whole class parties started to disappear in Y3 or Y4 we found. By Y6 it was down to her core 5 or 6 friends (including some from outside school).

Boy has just started school.
I didn't know that its a thing that the whole class gets invited to every kids birthday party.
24 kids in the class, so we're going to average 2 kids parties a month over the next year, 24 presents and 24 cards to get!
