Just started sweating a bit when the RSVPs were rolling in and I realized it was a LOT more than I had anticipated...</p> <p>@HabesBabe: @matador84: @blackbird: ahh, ok! I didn't think about siblings b/c we only have 1 kid, but it makes sense to bring them if both parents attend. </p> <p>Well, we ended up finding a local community center that had a room available on such short notice so the problem has been solved! I was so stressed. Even w/how spacious our house is, there is no way we could have comfortably fit 50 ppl in our living and family room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067687 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:25:46 +0000 autumnlove 2067687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: space wasn't a concern and I just ordered more food...definitely over ordered as usual! We had a bounce house for entertainment for the kids. I think we had 47 guests for LO 1's 3rd...twenty something kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067363 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:49:03 +0000 HabesBabe 2067363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's a party where the parents are expected to stay, then siblings should be included. If it's a drop-off party, then it could go either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067313 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:16:24 +0000 matador84 2067313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to assume when inviting people to DD's birthday at our house, the whole family was invited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067308 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:10:42 +0000 blackbird 2067308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think until kids are old enough to be dropped off, bday parties are a sibling affair :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067280 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:48:19 +0000 regberadaisy 2067280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I'm jealous! :) we're not throwing a party and haven't been invited to any friend parties from daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067247 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:16:49 +0000 pinkcupcake 2067247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: gaaaah! I have a couple like that too! But I couldnt say no... I Would have felt so rude. How did you accommodate it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067231 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:03:05 +0000 autumnlove 2067231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, Ya one of lo's classmates was a +5 RSVP. :-) (They asked and I said it was fine) Both parents and 3 older sisters with adult appetites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bday-parties-amp-siblings#post-2067229 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:01:29 +0000 pinkcupcake 2067229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having our first "friends" birthday party (LO turning 3) and we invited her preschool classmates. A couple of the parents asked if it would be alright to bring siblings, and I said yes without too much thought... but now it looks like there are at least 4 older siblings (around age 5/6) attending. It looks like it's gonna be a total of 16 kids. </p> <p>I'm stressing! We're throwing the party at our house, and it's pretty spacious but still gonna be a pretty tight squeeze w/so many kids &amp; adults! I had no idea so many ppl would RSVP yes. I was banking on maybe 10 kids, max... but so far, everyone is saying yes. </p> <p>I'm so stressed :( </p>
