We're not even having a 2nd birthday party for Ignatius. It's ridiculous to waste time and energy worrying about stuff like this. Until he understands what's going on, don't bother - just have your parents over for cake.JesusThroughMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204477399915812153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-2862183177581745172008-05-23T09:55:00.000-05:002008-05-23T09:55:00.000-05:00Are most of them from the same area - church, ther...Are most of them from the same area - church, therapy, swim class, etc.? If so, have it there; if you're not in that group, too bad, you're out of the loop. Then have a family one where you don't have to worry about who to invite.From the Doghousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457904542766217940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-71158220884452381772008-05-23T06:06:00.000-05:002008-05-23T06:06:00.000-05:00Politics - LOL!!!!Well, being a closet event plann...Politics - LOL!!!!<BR/><BR/>Well, being a closet event planner wannabe... I tend to go overboard. The local paper actually did a story on Superkid's 6th birthday party. ROFL!<BR/><BR/>But I do that cause that's a hobby of mine. Once he got old enough to be involved I allowed him to pick the themes, games, who he wanted to invite.<BR/><BR/>But when he was Ace's age, it was all about family, good friends, and feeding my hobby. LOL! <BR/><BR/>It IS so much easier when they are that age. I don't know if that makes you feel better or worse. =)Supermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485649141876279108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-13141117878999341742008-05-22T20:40:00.000-05:002008-05-22T20:40:00.000-05:00my MIL told me that she read an article addressing...my MIL told me that she read an article addressing toddler bdays. it said to only invite the number of children for the age of your child + one. i know it sounds small, but it might be a start...<BR/><BR/>i only invited 4 children to the diva's last b-day...MUCH more manageable than the last party...<BR/><BR/>i hope it all works out for you. :Dblack bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319642864446722532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-42795835016910811382008-05-22T17:42:00.001-05:002008-05-22T17:42:00.001-05:00on = onesorry. the kidless one is posting too muc...on = one<BR/><BR/>sorry. the kidless one is posting too much.... ackwatercolordaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918878832628412824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-45921310894951705222008-05-22T17:42:00.000-05:002008-05-22T17:42:00.000-05:00Ah!

I think I'm going to assign them shifts 'cause I dont want to be at the center of divorce land USA.

The kid down the street didn't invite her son to the party and now she's pissed at the other kid's mom. And who knows? It could be that they could only invite X amount of people, and it's nothing personal. <BR/><BR/>I think on my daughter's birthday, I'm going to show up at her school with a cake and some party favors so all the kids can participate, and she'll be queen for the day. And nobody's feelings get hurt. Then we'll take her somewhere cool, like Geyser Falls in Philadelphia.Webmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254906421352517823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-62668243781983319072008-05-22T15:43:00.000-05:002008-05-22T15:43:00.000-05:00I hear you.

I'm at the point I have to invite some and not others, simply because she has way too many friends.Kayrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279782877736135500noreply@blogger.com
