5th Birthday party - DS wants 14 kids and it's at home!!

That means there will be 15 total(inc.Ds's).Does this sound like a large amount to invite home? We don't have a huge house.
I have organised a bouncy castle and will do pass the parcel and musical statues.
I would normally have 10 kids max but as DS has started school he now has new school friends, pre-school friends and neighbours.
What I am trying to ask is "am I asking for mayhem"???

We did the same for Ds1's 5th birthday - 12 kids, bouncy castle, trad games. It went very well.

Thankfully the weather held out, so most of the time was spent on the bouncy castle.

Thanks Poshpaws. Its good to hear a success story. I'm just hoping the weather isn't a total washout as the castle will be uselss then. I will stay positive

I am also doing the same (dd6). Will have 15 so should be fun. I have decided 1 1/2 hours will be enough though. It is going to be 4 - 5.30 after school to include traditional party games and a crafty thing so 1 hour games/craft, 30 mins food and cake. Any time left over we will have a mini disco.
