Stressing, stressing, DS 1 year birthday party is tomorrw and need help...

Ok, it will be at our house because DH family is so big that we decided against having a huge smash at a restaurant and we decided to go small with immediate family at house--still 30 people.

Question is: My neices and nephews are all above 10 and my two girlfriends are coming with children who are 2, 3, and 4. I wanted to give a little goody bag to them. Would it look tacky if I just gave them to the little kids and not my neices and nephew? What goody bag could I gave to kids over 10????

I am just stressing......

Don't stress over it. I am having my brother who is 10 and my cousins son who is also 10 and I am not giving them goody bags. I think they are old enough to understand and it is two of them that aren't getting one. If it was just one then I would give something just so they dont feel singled out but honestly they probably wont even care.

I had two kids over ten at Roman's party and I gave them silly little things like a paddle ball, hackey sac, key chain, whoopie cushion and some little candy.

I would get the older ones a little something. I have neices and nephews ranging from 4 to 11, and I know my older ones would be insulted if I just skipped them. YOu could pick up Mad Libs or travel sized games at the drug store, even silly putty. If your lookiing for cheaper, you could go with candy. If you have no time left then I guess you could just skip it.

I would give them goody bags too. As a teacher, I have found that kids of all ages like to get those silly little goody bags. They love the small toys and candy. They may act like they don't need it, but I'm sure they would appreciate it.

DD 1st b-day isn't until April, but I have already got what I needed for her party. The kids I have coming range from 9 to 1 1/2. I didn't want to go out and get different things for each age. I have the Winnie the pooh theme and they had hard plastic cups with Winnie the pooh, so I"m giving those out with a chocolate bunny lolly pops that I'm making and for the girls I have little bracelets to go in there and the boys a toy dinosaur. Also at Michaels craft store I picked up these foam door hangars and they have all kinds of foam stickers to go on them. So I am going to do a craft with all the kids, they can make their own personalized door hangar. This website has some of the foam stuff I bought

Good luck.

I gave my nephew some hackey sacs and my niece jewelry making crafts (Michael's)


I would give them something but I would think they would understand. Or give them $3-5 iTunes GC, they can download a few songs & you can buy them online. Just print out the receipt for them.
