God, that's confusing! I'd go with what everyone has said (unless you know the mum well enough to call her and be disarmingly frank). Get the boy a nice present and the girls tokens. When I RSVP, unless I know the child well, I usually ask what they're into and get some ideas off the mum; sometimes they're just names and I don't have the foggiest if they're Barbie pink girls, or into crafts in a big way or obsessed with dinosaurs... you could tactfully sound her out. "And the girls; what about them?' 'Oh, you don't need to buy for them! Your son's {boy]'s guest!'
