There is one glenny but its really only for toddlers. Pretty basic sort of stuff.
I guess that's a question too - how far would you be prepared to travel to take your child to a party? We live in the outer burbs, so anything that's not "right here" is a good 20 minute to 30 minutes away (and I'm sure there would be much better play centres around too at that distance). Too far?
Lulu I'm sharing your dillema, I have 2 boys born on the same day.
Not sure how you are going to work it but I plan to alternate between years, so one year one has the party with friends etc, the other just has family, the next year its the others turn.
But for ideas I had my son's at the local pool/indoor leisure complex do you have something like that near you and do they run parties?
My sister has 2 boys, who are 2 years and 2 days apart. She has always given them a kids party on alternate years, but they still make a point of a cake and presents just within the immediate family for the child who doesn't get a party that year, on the actual day.
Is there someone who can help you hold a party at home ? I was planning Kameron's 5th birthday which was to be held at home. Ashton was due 2 weeks later. On the invitations I wrote in the event of an early labour the party will continue with thanks to other family members. Kameron insisted all through my pregnancy that Ashton too would be at his birthday party. He was right. Ashton was 2 weeks old the day of the party.
Thanks everyone. I know I would make it so much easier for myself if I split the years so one had a party this year and one next year, but I'm not sure at their age if they will understand why one misses out IYKWIM.
Kathryn - that's pretty cute. I personally would find it easier to have a two week old bub rather than still be pregnant, but I don't like my chances - my girls seem to like keeping me waiting! I know Mum would help me out if I ended up having something here.
Hmmm. Things to consider. Thanks again for your thoughts.
