DD1's 4 next week so birthday party stuff is on my mind a lot at the moment. Just interested to know how many people make up a party bag for the birthday girl/boy and their siblings too and, if so, are the contents exactly the same as the party guests?

Every child who attends the party gets a party bag - but the contents are age appropriate

I just make up a few more party bags than there are guests and hand them to any stray siblings that wander in. I cannot be arsed to categorise the party bags so they are all the same!

Only if I've got stuff left over.

I always did when mine were little (but age-appropriate as Katymac said)

my own children would be rather put out not to get a party bag as well, with exactly the same contents.
it isn't really about getting the contents, it's the fun of the bag I think.

When DD was 2 years old, I made up party bags for the other guests and didn't do one for her as she was the birthday girl and she'd been given so many presents that I thought she didn't need one, which was thoughtless of me because I was in adult mode and not thinking about how it all looked from a child's point of view. Needless to say she got one too the year after and will continue to do so until whichever age they reach when you don't do parties/party bags anymore. It's all a learning curve isn't it but some of us seem to have steeper slopes than others !
