[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may sound like a Grinch but a birthday party for mostly two year olds with a bounce castle would stress me out. Kids are bumping heads, crying, getting scared. I'd have to watch my kid like a hawk. Maybe if it's only a couple of kids, but not 10+ toddlers.[/quote]

I do think you sound like a grinch, sorry. A bounce house is a really normal thing for 3 year olds. I actually find them more stressful with bigger kids mixed in with little kids, that's when it gets nuts. A bunch of 3 year olds just bounce for a few minutes, fall over, bounce again, then get out.[/quote]

I agree with this. A bounce house is very normal but I would be careful of mixed age groups. You can have a parent keep an eye on things. I’ve been to a ton of birthdays for my three kids and no one has ever been injured in a bounce house.

Timing: 90 minutes to 2 hours. Party should end by 6 pm (I prefer 5:30) because these children are 3 and need to get home, bathe, and go to bed.

Invite: One invite for everyone. Invite should say foods being served: “Serving pizza and cupcakes.”

I always do cupcakes with a lot of kids. No cake to cut and less messy. [/quote]
