Birthday Planning
Apr. 28th, 2009 09:43 amEllie's birthday will be here in just over a month. Since we are also leaving a few weeks after that, I'm thinking it would be nice to have a sort of goodbye to her friends party as well. When she was 2, we had a small party at our house with her one non-daycare friend and it was perfect. Last year, we had cupcakes at her daycare and then had a small party in New Mexico with the kids from my parents' town in the city park on her actual birthday.
This year, I would like to have maybe 3 of her friends over to our house and let them swim/play/eat cake. The daycare has been kind of a downer on birthday parties recently - they want all the June birthdays to be on the last day of the month, for example, and no balloons, cake, etc. Well, I can live with that at the school, but in that case, I want her to have more of a party. But all her little friends go to her school. So if I invite 3, that leaves the other 17 kids in the room not invited. But having 17 kids and their parents at my house to swim in our pool sounds insane (and maybe even potentially dangerous, you know?) I assume only maybe 10 would actually show, but that's still a lot. There's a really cool waterpark on Ft. Buchanan, and I know that would also be a fun party idea, but it's very crowded in the summer and I'm not sure how much fun that would be. But it's not cool to invite just 3 kids from her class to our house, is it?
