oh Dan - I've stopped thinking about it! I asked her this morning what she wanted and she said Play Days! But at $19 a kid min 10 kids...
DH finally agreed to McDonald's but I'm not so keen...
Rang Collingwood Children's Farm this morning and they're booked out until July where they have ONCE vacancy... and then nothing until Sept. Basically if I want DD to have her party there, I need to book in 4 weeks... for NEXT YEAR! Crazy!
Rang Bundoora farm and they were insanely priced! Was going to cost me around $250 for the 13 kids she wants. Plus food, cake, and goodie bags.
DH is pushing for McDonalds. DD is wanting Play Days or Teddy Bear picnic in the park; no wait - Play Days; no wait - McDonalds; no wait, Fairy Party like last year Mum; no wait - I want McDonald's Cake.... I'm over it! Trying to give DD what she wants in the financial constraints DH has placed is doing my head in!!!!
I'll look at it again tonight. DD has been told she has to give me her final answer before bed time.
Mak, build a bear is insanely expensive. And Chaotic. We took DD there to get a bear last year and there was a party. About 6 7-8 year old girls.... NIGHTMARE! the poor guy "hosting" looked like he was ready to check in to a facility!
Tupperware do kids cooking sessions where a consultant comes to you and cooks simple things with kids. I have not been to one but a local cafe that is kid friendly ran one a while ago that was a big hit!! I am pretty sure they get an apron and hat to take home.
ok Kew looked great. But the fee is a bit much. DH said no.
Looked at tupperware but it seems like it's a hosting party type thing which didn't sit too well with me.
Currently tossing up between McD's and playdays. The $ thing is killing me! I WANT to give her play days but McD's is $100 cheaper. I sound awful! I don't feel comfortable with encouraging the kids with McD's...
Ok mg here are my top ones
Hungry Jacks parties are HEAPS cheaper than mc donalds- try the HJ at mill park as it has a great party room and good play equipment that is easy to supervise- its about $5-6 per head if i remember correctly
You can hire a shelter shed at Buzy kids which also gives you full use of the bike track- then you can self cater if you want- there is a fish and chip shop and a pizza shop next door!! - cheap cheap cheap
there is also wriggle it at bundoora- that wasnt badly priced either
Eltham Lower train park- you can bring a picnic and just buy tickets for the train for whoever wants them
we found rare bears and mc donalds the dearest
also magic castle was awesome too but it shut down at xmas time boo hoo
let me know if you need more ideas
Thanks Det! Typing whilst meant to b getting ready for work.
The other prob we have is we will have dance class morn of party so can't camp out at a park early enough to secure a good shady covered spot did the adventure play ground for her foray birthday and it was a nightmare!
