[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I don’t understand what is wrong with the idea?
Kids are allowed to bring treats for their birthdays. I believe they are handed out at the end of the day but I don’t really care when- they are allowed. How are goodie bags different?
I want to do this because we have been invited and went to several parties so I feel bad we won’t invite these people back.
My kid doesn’t want a party because, well, he just isn’t a very people person. I asked him if he wanted a bigger party at a venue, a small home party (1-3 friends) or a getaway at a hotel with a pool and jacuzzi. He chose the latter and this is honestly what I will enjoy the most so why not.

What’s wrong with this idea is he is in 3rd grade, not preschool. Giving large goodie bags to everyone in the class will not be “cool.”  There is not a party and a lot of kids and parents will their them away right when they get home.

You have your child options and he picked the way he wants to celebrate. My DS would pick the same and I’m going to give him those options next year. The jacuzzi in this weather sounds awesome. My son did not want to celebrate with friends and wanted to go out to a favorite restaurant with family this year. He’s a social kid and with friends other times but didn’t feel like having a birthday party. That’s fine. It’s his birthday to celebrate any way he wants. He’s never wanted to being in things for his class. Did you even ask your son if he likes your goodie bag idea? [/quote]
