Our soon-to-be 4 year old daughter LOVES McDonald’s playland and so does her almost 3-year old cousin, so the choice for her party this year was obvious. Hope we can find a nice one in our area.
Her first three birthdays were celebrated at home, but this year we decided to have a destination party.
This was also her first full year of preschool and she has been invited to a few of her classmates parties.
So, now my dilemma is whether or not to include her classmates and her outside friends and siblings.
I don’t think we can afford to invite everyone.
Any advice?
Thanks for the great ideas.
I know will be bringing something to her school an it's funny that you mentioned the McDonald's on County Farm because that is the one I was thinking about.
I guess it is a blessing that my daughter has so many friends and her young age.
Have cupcakes at preschool and outside friends to the party, IMHO. Keep it simple.
I don't have an answer as to who to invite. However, as for the McDonalds, I have not been inside, but the one at County Farm and Roosevelt is pretty new and from the outside the playland look pretty clean. Good luck!
I'm always interested in why people invite kids from school to bday parties. I personally have NEVER done it. My kids are 13, 10 and 7 and they have never even asked me. I guess because I take cup cakes or pizza and balloons to school for them and make a big deal out of their classroom party so they don't feel like they are missing out on anything with their school friends. If they did ask me I would say they have their party with their school friends at school and we have a family party at home with family. I don't know, that probably doesn't help you but since I'm probably the minority in this, wanted to give you another option. Good luck and have fun!
I would just invite a few friends from her class. Are there any kids in her class that she talks about a lot & plays with a lot? Like her "best friends." I would invite them & leave it at that. You are not obligated to invite the whole class!
Actually, now that I think about it, my daughter has been in a preschool class for a while (she just turned 4 too), and we have never been invited to a party. We got a few when she was in her previous (toddler) class, but we only went to one for a girl who was a good friend of my daughter's at the time.
