party bags!!

[mummyzoe2012]

Its my daughters 2nd birthday party on saturday. Ive booked a soft play party and have 9 children confirmed as comming. Does this seam ok for a party bag? 2 diffrent sweets, large bouncy ball, bubbles, colouring book, crayons, age appropriate pocket money toy ie frizbie, skipping rope... twirly straw, balloon on a stick and party popper.. they also will get a bit of cake and a fuzzy eds party bag. Does that seam ok?

They also have a small book too

Seems very generous to me! Mind you, my DD is 17 and parties seem to have got more supersized since I was doing them.

[WaffilyVersatile]

it seems like a lot tbh but its up to you!

[Lilacroses]

That's more than enough. Hope you have a lovely time!

I'm anti-gift bags. I've never given them since my precious first born's first birthday party. It works pretty well for me.

[FalalalalalalaFiggy]

They sound fine but.......My DS was 2 in December we avoided party bags like the plague they seem to be another example of competitive parenting.

It's so close to Xmas I decided they really didn't need more plastic tosh that's end up in the bin by the end of the day.

Seems like loads of stuff to me. Personally I hate those pocket lovey type toys you get in party bags, they always end up broken and thrown away.

I think you're being very generous OP

[Thatisall]

Pocket money not pocket lovey!! Omg it's the goats and think vitamins thing all over again

[WidowWadman]

I've only put sweets into party bags and received no complaints, yours seem a bit OTT.

Sounds plenty, too much rather than not enough. :)

For my 6 year old we did 1-2 chocolate/sweet items (freddo etc). Little colouring book with crayons. birthday cake.

[Magix]

More than what I ever put definitely fine !!

[Crowler]

Yes. My kids walk in the door with a party bag --> I hatch a plan to get it into the bin. ASAP. I hate them.

[onepieceoflollipop]

One year (age 4) we did a lucky dip, some dcs complained about lack of party bag!

My 10 yr old now sorts her own, I give her a budget and she buys various stationery/confectionery/claire's items!

[ilovepowerhoop]

Sound an awful lot. I have stopped giving toys in mine and just do sweets, crisps and cake.

[JupiterGentlefly]

Never include a whistle. Or plastic mouth organ. Unless you want scores of parents committing infanticide on the journey home.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Bit too much imo. I just give them a slice of birthday cake and a balloon.

[DaftSkunk]

Sounds very generous, I think you have more than enough stuff. Hope the party goes well .

[AlwaysDancing1234]

That seems very generous, my DS would love coming to the party just for the party bag! Hope you and your family enjoy the party

[Only1scoop]

Sound lovely ....I always go overboard with mine also. Keep seeing other little bargains and popping em in

[JabberJabberJay]

Sounds like a lot but my kids would love it!

[gordyslovesheep]

I wouldn't put a party popper in a 2 year olds party bag - but other than that it seems fine - not sure YABU though!

[BabyMummy29]

Sounds great - you're being very generous.

[LowLevelWhinging]

that's too much.

Save some for next year, seriously.

Round here we get:

cake - bin
whistle - bin
chewy sweet
lolly
bubbles - spilt within 45 seconds

[fruitpastille]

That's about double the usual amount ime.

[LowLevelWhinging]

wait, party popper?? NO! don't give gun powder to toddlers is a top tip.
