Other idea. They sell hand stamps at most party supply places or at craft store. Have the Mom stamp the kids hand and she can tell them be careful the clown has suprises for you so don't wash it off!
This eliminates you from being the bad guy. In case a member doesn't get a stamp. It's the moms responsibility. And they will go looking for the mom with the stamper! Also, If a kid comes up and claims to be part of the group say, sorry, You have to show me the Secret signal in order to prove that you are with the group. No signal, no suprises, Sorry, but this time it's just how it has to be.
Then you can give them a card and tell them you would love to be invited to come to their next party Talk to mom, dad, gramma, whoever, and they can invite me. then all this fun stuff will be for you and your friends.
