[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry OP. I haven't read all the responses. Here is what we learned: *Invite a small group of tried and true friends where you know parents and can count on them or just 1 close friend *Make it convenient and easy for them. Do not have it at a remote location where family is stuck there or doing a lot of driving *Make sure you have done your part as well with those you invite. If you cancelled last minute or your kid didn't make it to their party, don't expect them to definitely come unless it is very convenient for them *Keep things simple. Some kids are over-scheduled. Not everyone has time for a movie and lunch and it's not easy to leave a movie half way, but everyone seems to love just having time to hang out at someone's house and have some pizza and cake. Things like lazer tag or whatever are a bonus, but know my kids have truly enjoyed parties where the parents don't interfere with a bunch of planned things and just let them have fun with a few options they can do on their own without a bunch of adults telling making the rules.[/quote]
