Party protocol

[Opalfeet]

My little one at nursery been invited to a party, we don't know the mum or the girl. Obviously the mum has asked nursery to give invites out to everyone- how lovely!

So we will be going because my son says he would like to go to eat cake 🤣

Its traditional, local church hall etc. So what about siblings? I know people have said it's cheeky on here before, but I think that's normally been for full on parties booked at special venues. Do I just ask? Happy to leave him at home, but equally it would be easier for me to take him.

Also how much to spend on a present and do I just guess what to buy a little girl?

Thanks everyone

@soapboxqueen tbf he can stay at home with his dad. I guess I'm just used to taking both of them everywhere with us. It will probs be more fun for him at home than sitting with me having to stay away from the fun anyway

No more unimaginative than a random craft set, surely?

You get 20 books every week?

I’m a voracious reader but even I would baulk at that.

Presumably it's 20 for their whole family, and if her kids are nursery age,it's easy to borrow that many..

@JayAlfredPrufrock not for me! For the kids 🤣

@00100001 I think we will agree to disagree, I just think a book is a bit if a boring present. That's all
