At the last minute we've decided to have a party next weekend, mainly for our 4yr old, who's had quite a tough year. I was hoping to have it at home but we've currently got no kitchen & the house is covered in a fine layer of plaster & brick dust. (Though we did think getting a bunch of 3/4/5 yr olds to watch a group of builders hammering & mixing concrete might be good fun!)
Currently, I've hired a hall & have provisionally hired a company that's a bit like tumble tots/soft play combined, but they bring it to you & do parachutes, dancing, etc. as well if that's what you want. It is expensive but neither myself or dp are much good at organising people to do games & I'm worried that with the short notice & already struggling to do the food, we won't do a good job without the 'entertainers' & will end up feeling we messed up the party.
What do you think? I do love the idea of doing the whole thing myself but don't want to end up getting so stressed about it that I forget it's supposed to be about my children having fun!
(PS I also don't want people thinking 'what a posey cow' for spending too much, because I'm not, just a mum desparate to please her kids.)
