Is 14 too old for a birthday party?
you can take them bowling maybe
If my friend gets mad that I want to skip her late night birthday party because I have a routine sleep schedule that took me a long time to set straight, is that rude?
I have a friend who was having serious and dangerous mental issues as a result of her insomnia. She spent a lot of time and money going to specialists and getting the research done and her medications set to help her get the proper amount of good sleep. She has a RIGID sleep schedule and once she goes to sleep, you aren’t disturbing her. If you know her, you know that. As someone who once spent a night driving around in a snowstorm looking for her since she’d had a psychotic break due to lack of sleep, I have ZERO issues with this. Her mental and physical health is very tightly tied to her quality and quantity of sleep. I love my friend and don’t pressure her to change something I know is so critical to her well-being.I don’t know if your sleep situation is as serious, but even if it isn’t, you’ve stated it is important to you. Let your friend know it makes you uncomfortable that she isn’t respecting your choices for your health. You would be there if you could, but you have to take care of you first. Offer to meet her for a birthday lunch or coffee to celebrate.
Parents, would you attend a childs birthday party on a Sunday morning and/or school night?
I know, odd timing. I'm considering a local inflatable center for a 3 & 6 year old. The idea of tons of people is a turn off so I was thinking private party. However, they only do those during non business hours so it would have to be Sunday 10am-noon or Monday or Tuesday 5p-7p if we went that route. My thoughts are church & school night. Parents input please.
How to make baby comfortable on her 1st birthday party at an external venue?
Why on earth are you having a party for your daughter's first birthday that seems to be completely planned to make her miserable? It's far too late in the day, there is no where for her to sleep, no where for her to be comfortable, you cannot hold her the whole time... where you hoping she'd have an awful time at her own party?? I think you should seriously reconsider what would be best for child. Clearly this whole set up is not working. I've been to parties like this at halls or community centres and the child is always upset. If you are going to go through with the big party why not have it earlier in the day when your child is not going to be stuck in a high chair when she should be in bed??
Parents, What is a good drop off/pick up time for a 10th birthday sleepover?
Generally drop off time is in time for supper, and time for the kids to prepare it, if that is the plan. Somewhere between 4-6 pm. Later, if they are just coming for snacks. And we always stayed for breakfast, which wa generally a pastry. I would have preferred Friday night, because the kids could sleep in Saturday morning. Sunday, they would have to maybe get up for church. But of course, you have to do the party when it is convenient for you and yours. If you are getting off work and coming home late on Friday, you might not want a bunch of screaming little girls at your house. some suggestions: have them make their own pizza, or decorate their own cookies. cookie pops are cool, and of course anything that involves the stove or oven is a supervised activity. And research no cook/bake cookies and candies to do on their own with Mom helping with anything that has to melt. Haystacks are yummy, do Rice Krispie treats, or Buckeyes. Or even chocolate covered cherries[they are cherries wrapped in fondant and dipped in chocolate]. another easy one is Magic Cookie bars. allrecipes.com has all of these.
How do you politely decline an invitation to a birthday party or special event?
It cannot be helped if you are unable to attend an event. It is absolutely fine to decline an invitation, as long as you do so respectfully and with sincerity.There is an etiquette when it comes to declining a party invitation. Although it is impossible to avoid disappointment whenever declining an invite, there are ways of doing so politely, so you don’t hurt people’s feelings. The worst thing you could do is fail to reply at all.First and foremost, answer back as soon as possible. The party host will appreciate your prompt response and it will assist them with their party planning and party budget.Secondly, the best method of reply is the one offered with your invitation. For example, if the invitation asks for an RSVP via telephone, then call the host. If they list an email address, then reply by email is fine. If you have received a hard copy RSVP card with the invitation , the best option is to reply by mailing that card. If no reply method is specified with the invitation, then you can choose how you wish to decline. Note that for an informal party, verbal is fine, but for more formal parties, a mailed card is best.Next, the language you use should be polite. You could say something like the following:“Thank you so very much for your kind invitation. Regrettably, we are unable to attend. We wish you all the very best for a wonderful celebration.”“We received your party invitation. We regret to inform you that we won't be able to attend, due to prior commitments. Thank you so much for thinking of us.”“Thank you so much for inviting us to your celebration. Unfortunately, we already have plans, so we are unable to attend. We hope you have a wonderful time celebrating this special occasion.”Lastly, if you would have taken a gift when attending the party, it is polite to still send one with your decline.
How can I politely ask guests to my child's birthday party to go home now?
The best way is to not only have a start time for the party, but have a definite time that the party will end. That way the guests will already know when it’s time for the party to end and them to go home.If the party is currently going on, then just politely let them know that the party is over. Also, let them know that if they’re still there by a certain time, that means they’re obviously staying because they’re volunteering to help clean up. That’ll probably clear them out really fast.Hope this helps.

My 10 year old son was invited to a coed sleepover/birthday party for one of his female classmates.?
My wife and I were initially concerned being that it was a coed sleepover for a group of 4th graders.However, the girls parents are very reputable people(members of the PTA),and the party will be chaperoned at all times.My wife spoke to the girl's mother and the kids will be watching movies all night and having pizza. She assured us that we have nothing to be worried about. However, I would like to hear other people's opinion about this coed sleepover party for 4th grader's. Is this party appropriate 4th grader's? Thank you.
