take dh to party??

[pearshape]

dd1 (3) has been invited to a wacky warehouse party by a friend at pre school. I don't know the parents or anyone else who will be going. It's on a Sunday afternoon and am not really looking forward to spending two hours there by myself. Would I look really sad if I took along dh? We've also got a one year old who loves wacky warehouse. If dh comes then she'll have to come as well (obviously pay for her).

I dont get why it would be sad to bring along dh? Then again I dont know what a wacky warehouse party is!

If a party's at the weekend then most people seem to come as families IME.

that's fine

DH can crawl around and you can drink a cup of tea and read the paper

[pearshape]

well that's the plan! i've never been to one of these where i didn't know the hosts and wasnt sure if it was the done thing to come as a family! With dd1 starting school next year i guess i'll soon get the hang of things

My dh and older ds usually go to parties with dd and I if it's on a Saturday. No-one seems to mind and there's plenty of other couples there usually. Can't see why anyone would want to volunteer to go to Wacky Warehouse though!!

[pearshape]

maybe i'll send dh with dd's and i'll stay home

also, how much do you spend on a prezzie for a school friend? I was thinking about a tenner, is that about right?

[SweetyDarling]

Won't it be a good opportunity for you to meet some of the other parents - either by yourself or with Dh there?

I started by spending a tenner but have reduced that to around £6.00 as that's what most of the other parents seem to spend.

£4-6 for a school friend up to £10 for a proper bf
