Birthday parties and low costI was wondering if any one knew of a low cost place to have ath birthday party? My daughter turns 4 next April and was thinking of doing a bbq at my in laws for her, but my mothe in law wants me to change the date because of weather. So I was thinking of renting a hall,. but dont want to spend alot of money. Any ideas for places It's totally corny, but I was thinking of having my daughter's 4th bday at the MCDonalds in Flanders....they are renovated, and the new playplace is AWESOME.....apparently it's more of a "play place theme" bday then the old school McDonald's bday. kelleo22 Jul 3, 09 11:36 pm I believe the new art place in town (2 doors down from Stella G's) does Birthday Parties I was also going to suggest the new at place. I met the owners and one is an actual art teacher. The place is gorgeous inside. christina - Just a reminder, at 4 years old, they are just interested in the fact that their day is celebrated. In a few months, they will not remember where the party was held or who was invited (or not invited). Planning now for a birthday party next April? Wow that's thinking ahead. Good for you. We had our 4 year old's party at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Hackettstown and hired Sprinkles the Clown . She was awesome! It was from 2-4 and she occupied them for a whole hour. The first half hour I had them decorate cookies, then Sprinkles came for an hour, then we had cake/ice cream and then it was time to go home! Perfect timing and my daughter STILL talks about it 5 months later. We had my daughter's 5th at C'mere Cupcake. It was great! They did an excellent job and everyone had a wonderful time. Very inexpensive as well. Thanks for the advice. christina Jul 4, 09 9:44 pm As far as the family party goes, just pick the weekend that is good for you. The people will come if they want to, especially if you give this much notice. Both my children's birthdays are in April, and I am constantly battling the Easter weekend scheduling mess. I gave up, just started picking a date and letting things fall where they may. People always come. Remember - you can't make everyone happy, just your daughter. It's kind of like planning a wedding. Eventually, you just give up and do what you want to do. Good advice Alison and once you start changing things to please the inlaws, it's all downhill from there, LOL. Christina, you're the parent now and you should be able to make your own decisions and plan the party the way you want to. JMHO Also, good idea to start buying early, gives you the chance to look at clearance now for next year. Since summer will be just around the corner when you have the party, you should be able to pick up some bargains on "Summer Clearance" Bessie Jul 5, 09 10:52 am This topic has not been commented on in more than 6 months.
