[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd was invited to a no siblings party so we did something else with sibling ds during the party.  
I noticed that one of the kids had her mother, her nanny and her grandmother at the party - and no, they weren't close friends with the host.

When I threw dd a bday party at Bowlmor, one of the parents asked if her husband could come.  I had never met him and basically answered - no, let's keep this party focused on Larla's day.  What I didn't say was, this is not your family's bowling excursion day on my tab.

When there is a cost per head, I think it is asking a lot of the host to take on strangers.  When it's a party at home, or there is no cost per head, I think opening the party to siblings, especially if they are small kids, is a really nice thing to do.

So .. the "no siblings" phrase probably ought to be expanded to "Larla's friend + parent".  There really isn't any reason for 3 adults to be in tow with a single child.[/quote]

Wait, what? You wouldn't allow both parents to come to your party? That's insane. [/quote]

Agreed. I can’t think of a place that charges extra for adults (scramble, jumping joeys (rip), Badlands (rip), laser tag, etc. It’s on the host to just make sure all kids are served pizza and cupcakes first before adults. It’s also on the host to pass out goody bags to the child the same age as the celebrant first. [/quote]
