I'm with you on the cash but disagree abojt the skating. Every skate rink has walkers your child can use if they are new. Besides that they also have staff. I've never heard of a party where the parent is expected to provide your child with assistant. Idk just seems odd that you were so worried about the skating aspect. [/quote]

This rink does not have walkers on the main rink, where the party was being held.  I asked about staff, but was told that there would be nobody there specifically to help her with her learning/falling.  I know this because I have observed this rink in action, and any kids skating along the side alone who fall are on their own.  It was a public skating time slot, which means there were lots of people.  I just think a skating party for such 5-6 year olds on a large pubic rink is not a good idea.  If child had never been on ice, they would be horrified with all the people skating around them and the constant falling.  I just was not willing to throw my 5 year old to the wolves![/quote]

I think that most parents would choose to decline the invitation or they would choose to stay and skate with their child.

My kids were a little older than this when they went to skate parties.  I got them lessons beforehand and I stayed at the rink to make sure that they did o.k. (but did not skate with them).  They had a blast and did just fine.  But they were not completely inexperienced and they were older than K.  Makes a difference.[/quote]
