Would really appreciate some ideas about what to do for my DD's birthday next weekend, she'll be turning 3. The original pan was to have a teddy bears picnic in the park. After checking weather forecasts it looks like it's going to rain though- we live in the NW so this is likely!
Last year we hired a hall, but money is tight this month and DD is set on a new bike so I'd like to spend a large chunk of our budget on that for her.
The problem is our flat, although lovely, is quite small, and there isn't enough space for all the people we want to invite. All together with friends and family included it would be about 20 people- there's just no room for this!
The only solution I can think of is to split the celebrations into two (between family & friends), and request that my mum friends don't bring their partners.
My concern is that my family might feel that DDs cousins haven't really been invited to the 'proper' party with all the friends. Also, a couple of my friends have already mentioned their partners will be coming, not sure if disinviting them might be a problem? (As I write this, I realise how ridiculous that sounds- it would probably make their day lol)
I'm sorry for the long post- I'd also just like to ask if anyone can think of any fun/easy to execute party themes that a bunch of 3-5 year olds would love!
Thank you for reading this :)
