For DD1's 3rd birthday party we had 5 kids at the house with the traditional games and a bit of a tea. Luckily the weather was good so we shoved them outside for a good chunk of time!
This year DD has already gone to a number of parties at soft play centres, swimming pools etc with catered teas. This seems to have raised expectations somewhat but it all seems quite lavish somehow for her age.
I can't decide whether to keep things small for another year before she goes to school and I have to invite her whole class, or whether it would actually be easier to give in and hire something. I haven't actually asked DD what she wants as she is in a stage where it is better to tell her how things are going to be than give her any big decision-making powers... she can make the little choices about napkin colour, jelly flavour etc
