Would you go to this?

Hi

Just after some advise. Going to do my dd2 a party for her 3rd birthday. Either in a hall or soft play type of thing (there's a good toddler one near us)
My question is - if your child got invited to a 3 year olds party from nursery would you go?? Don't want to get her excited incase not many reply!

yeah I would, my son would have fun and I wouldn't need to clear up :)

Thanks @LivingDeadGirlUK I think il just invite the ones who go the same day as her and depending on the number either hire a bouncy castle and other bits for a hall or soft play centre!

Yes definitely

How many are in her group at Nursery? I would expect half/two thirds to go. And do it for a Saturday after lunch. Older siblings often have activities sat mornings esp with working parents.

I think inviting kids who go on the same day(s) is sensible. At nursery age I accepted invites for my kids if I could as obviously they will have fun. With DS1 we would definitely have been there but tbh by the time I had three if there was a clash on a busy weekend I would only prioritise my youngest going to a party if it was a child I had heard her talk about.

Be prepared for a lot of rude parents not RSVPing though, always the worst part of organising kids' parties.

Yep my DD has been very enthusiastic about all party invites from her nursery classmates and parties are usually well-attended.

We had a hall party for her 3rd birthday. We didn't know all the other children as she'd only just started so asked nursery for a list and invited everyone who attended the same days. Around 3/4 came. We did say that siblings were welcome, which made it easier for people to attend.

Yes. We did. We had about half the people we invited come to ours as well.

Yes, if we were given enough notice so we didn't have other plans. DS recently started nursery and I don't know any of the other parents yet so I'd be pleased he was invited.

Yes to doing it Saturday afternoon maybe 2.30-4.30? Some 3yo's still have a nap at midday.

Thanks for all the reply's! Her birthday isn't until beginning of October so plenty of notice. Il have to ask nursery for a list as I know a handful of her closer "friends" but they and my dd2 are moving up to the pre school class first week of September so won't know the rest.

Ahhhh the dreaded no rsvp! I remember well from dd1! It's very rude and the ones who don't reply but just turn up! I learnt my lesson and made sure I did extra party bags the year after!
