Party bags at school?

[ALMummy]

If your child is having a birthday and taking a cake in to school to a party at the end of the school day as agreed with the teacher, would you take party bags or a lucky dip or something similar for the kids in his class? I posted in Primary and got some good responses but just wanted some more views on the subject. Thanks.

I like the idea of a lucky dip, just don't leave anyone out.

Have bought too many things if anything to make sure of that not happening. Just a bit worried I was trying too hard. Bit new to the primary school thing. Just putting little toys in the lucky dip no more than 50p each.

Lovely idea, but I think the cake is enough, really.

At our school some kids bring in a multi pack of sweets - lollies or mini choc type things for each child to have one at the end of the day. I guess it would depend if you are having a party for school friends and how many are invited - as they will prob be getting party bags then??

It can be a bit awkward and becomes a bit of one-upmanship between parents - and then where would it end!

Keep it simple is what I say!
