HELP! My kids b-day's are 4 weeks apart. I have been having combo parties for the past 6 years. Now that they are getting older and have school friends it's getting more complicated. I'm hoping that I can still do a combo party for at least this one last time! Finacially it's the only way but I still want to make it fun for both kids and their friends. I'm hoping you all can solve my problem!! =)

I should add that I live in a Townhouse and don't have a backyard or clubhouse.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks for all the wonderful advise!!!

I found a "bounce house" kind of place that was offering a really great Friday night party deal!! So fun and easy...and economical! $145 for 15 kids..included pizza and juice boxes! They/we had a blast!! =)

Do you do these parties at home or somewhere else? If you do them at home, go with the whole "classic" party thing. Those games are still fun and you can mix-up the teams so that they are more even.
- Egg and spoon relay
- Balloon toss
- 3 legged race
- bobbing for apples
- donut on a string
- bubble gum blowing
- ring toss/ bean bag toss
I'm sure there are plenty more. You could even separate them in the backyard for parts of it (like stations) and have little dollar store prizes or ribbons.

Pizza and two cakes and you're all set!

Do a scavenger hunt in the neighborhood. Pair the kids off, send them out with a list and first back with everything wins. Both ages groups could do this.
