Dd1's 2nd birthday is coming up and I can't decide whether I should have a party for her. Last year we had a little tea party for family. I had been planning on doing similar this year, or maybe a family day out, but we've been invited to a few 2nd birthdays recently and it makes me wonder if I should reciprocate.
If I wad going to have a party, I would do something in our village hall (as our house is too small). Dd doesn't really get games yet, but loves going to the local playgroup. I was thinking I could just take a load of our big toys - ride ons, slide, kitchen and so on, as well as a playdoh table, maybe some big cardboard boxes and some big tubs of rice to mess about with. Would that look like I'd made no effort?
If I did have a party I'd have to invite about 8 two year olds and 3 4 year olds (we're in a small rural community and I wouldn't want to offend anyone) - is that manageable? Parents would stay and help, I think. Will the older kids get bored, do you think? If so, what could I do to entertain them?
Thank you for any advice, the prospect of doing a party is giving me palpitations!
