[quote=Anonymous]My kids are older now (10 and 13) but every single one of their birthday parties have been a theme-based home party that I organized. Make a plan (with backup activities just in case as well as a rain plan if it's an outside party) and recruit at least one other adult you can trust to help you (usually DH and I could cover it, for a few weekday preschool parties, I had another mom stay and help). Even when given the option of a party place, my kids have chosen at-home parties with a theme they chose and loved. Way more personal than a party place (not that they don't have fun playing laser tag or whatever) From reading here, it seems many parents are afraid to take on this challenge--if you feel confident, no one will make judgements, except maybe to be impressed. And if it is at your house and the kids and parents are familiar and comfortable with you and your home, they may be fine with dropping off, so do give them that option, if you'd like. Good luck[/quote]
