To not pay for the babies at the party?

[twinkleunicorn]

My dd is going to have a birthday party next month. The venue allows 10 children but you can pay £9 per head for any extra children. Aibu to not include my 13 mo ds in with the 10 guests, and not pay extra for him either? He will probably have a little run around but won't 'technically' be invited.

Why don't you check with the venue?

Just ask the venue?

I would say that your DS counts as an extra child, but why not just call the venue and ask them what they think?

Yes, YWBU to just opt out of paying...

What does the venue count as a child? They will have it printed somewhere. Often it's over 1 year, in which case you'd probably get away with it. If it's 2 or over, no problem.

It depends on where he'll be running around.

They'll have a policy for siblings and/or babies so ask.

If they want you to pay for him and you don't want to you'll have to leave him with someone else.

I think the general rule of thumb would be will he be eating the party food. If not then just pay normal admission for him.

I assumed my friend wouldn't expect her 15 month old baby to do the activity at my DD"s party...but she did.

I had to pay for the extra as he went round in his Mother's arms "doing" the activity.

The invitation was for his 5 year old brother!

There's always one, isn't it! So rude.

Ask the venue. A baby in arms is one thing, a toddler another entirely, there's no right or wrong but just ask them.
