Re: Kids birthday party question

1. My kids are only 9 months old but after reading many threads about kiddie birthday parties I hope I can get away for a long time without doing one.

2. The carpool thing is a good point, I still have a few years for this but so long as everyone was generally well behaved I would think nothing of taking a close friend's child of that age along with mine to a party if my friend could not.

3. This I may not pertain to you, but if you have any siblings or twins coming make sure the one on one rule is known . I have twins and a husband who works weekends so I would need to recruit another adult.

4. Maybe things have changed but as a kid it was never even half a discussion that I would go to a party that my sibling was invited to and I was not. Maybe once is a while I would tag along with a friend if it was a public place and my parents would pay 10000% for me and I would not really be involved in the party at all (example :hot skates lol).

Long rant/ story short:
I see nothing with being clear on the invitation :
"The Venue requires each child is accompanied by one adult and siblings cannot be accommodated "
I think you might have to suck it up if an extra adult comes, there probably won't be that many anyway, esp since siblings have to stay home.

Re: Kids birthday party question

I personally would say no siblings but not restrict parents. Most families don't make birthday parties a family affair. Maybe it's because in our circles everyone has multiple kids and tons of errands to run, but it is uncommon for both parents to attend unless you are family friends.

I think your original is the best and most straightforward. I don't think anyone expects to drop their 5 yo off at a party.

I completely agree

I posted this earlier but does no one else live in an area that you carpool to parties?

I have never been a part of carpools but my oldest is only 5. I can see it happening when kids get older if you have a tight knit group of friends who are willing to do that for eachother.

To OP_ I think you are probably fine with what you wrote but how about if you were to play it safe and say "Due to CSHFHA policy, we will be unable to accommodate siblings or more than 1 parent per fisherman, the policy requires that one and only one parent, accompany each child during the party".

This word for word. I think this is much more clear.
