about siblings and soft play

[swooneramamama]

soft play party for ds. it's 10 pounds per head- a mum has offered to pay for her three extra kids-wibu to accept?

I did write 'siblings welcome' on the invite to make it a bit easier for people. Should I offer to pay?

If she has offered to pay, I'd let her..3 extra kids is a lot.

The soft play parties I've attended, one adult and the invited child are paid for, siblings and additional adults pay. I've even brought my own party bags and packed lunches for my uninvited child! So.. Let her pay! It's fair.

I would accept straight off. 3 is a lot. I would be a bit embarrassed if I was her and you didn't let me pay anyway.

If you're feeling kind do them a party bag, but don't feel you have to.

Normally siblings would pay. The only which may complicate it slightly is that you invited siblings too, but 3 is a lot, letting her pay is reasonable.

She should pay.

Thanks thatS really helpful. Even though I wrote siblings welcome?

She should pay, 3 extra children is ridiculous. She would be very cheeky if she let's you pay.

Just curious OP but why did you write 'siblings welcome'? At £10 a child it could quickly get very expensive!

I would absolutely accept her offer.

there are a few with one sib who ds plays with as well on play dates.... just wanted to make things easy and be welcoming but hadn't really thought about the cost! Doh.

Was that your actual wording? Because you might find that some people bring siblings expecting them to already be paid for. People might think you've paid an amount for a party where numbers don't matter, rather than paying per head.

You sound lovely and very generous. But yes you should definitely accept her offer. 30 quid is a lot of money!

Aww thanks. Just trying to make the party a bit easier for all. It's a popular local soft play place, everyone will realise that its per head. But I do take your point
