I'm hoping someone will be able to reassure and help me!
DS will be 8 at the end of July, he would like a party. Worried, firstly because of when his birthday is - in the school holidays - we had a party a couple of years ago for him in our local leisure centre with a bouncy castle etc, anyway only about 14 kids came as the rest were on holiday (and a couple (parents) too rude to even reply!!). Last year, he chose a bowling party with a 4 friends which was lovely.
I've decided to hold the party at home - it's USUALLY sunny on his birthday! So i'm hoping they will be in the garden. Do you all think 7-8 year olds will think pass the parcel/musical statues/pin the tail on the whatever are too 'young'? My son likes the idea, but I just want to check what you all think!
Also, obviously there's no way of guaranteeing how many turn up - he has chosen approx 15 to invite - do you think we should invite a few more incase some cant come?!
Also, any other ideas for party games thanks. By the way we only have a small garden!
Thanks again
