[quote=Anonymous]Do it close to her birthday.  Unless the baby is actually born on the date of her party, don't let the newborn usurp her own special day.

Plan ahead if an extra adult or two can be on hand in party mode, whether your mom or MIL, or a close friend who can help take charge if you are managing a 2wk old baby. My DH is a fully capable guy, but managing a party for a bunch of young kids just wouldn't be his speed so he'd appreciate it if we had someone else on tap.

Does she have one or two BFFs? Email those moms before you book anything, and ask if they have travel plans the weekend before or after her birthday, and explain that if you can you'd schedule the party on a weekend that would work for them.  DD has had the same two close friends since they were in Pre-K, and they're now in 2nd grade.  Both moms and I always email each other when we start thinking birthdays to make sure that we "save the date" for each other's kids.  That way, even if overall turnout is low, the kids most important to her will be there.  [/quote]
