I just felt like she would think it was fun until she had to take it home &amp; then she would be mentally cursing me lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadhave-4-kids#post-1727005 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 11:08:15 +0000 T-Mom 1727005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a lot of fun, and I think as long as you warn in advance to dress appropriately, like others have said, you should be good. Also, if they are going to be needing to take home 4 flower pots, maybe you can provide a little box to help mom corral everything when she has to load them all up in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadhave-4-kids#post-1726830 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:12:45 +0000 .twist. 1726830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Ditto! I would want them dressed appropriately, but they would love to bring home their own pots. </p> <p>*I have 3 boys* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadhave-4-kids#post-1726823 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:10:10 +0000 Alivoo01 1726823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't mind the flowers, but agree on putting a notice so they can bring a change of clothes or something. We did for DS's invites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadhave-4-kids#post-1726754 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 09:46:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1726754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see why any parent would mind bringing home flowers? I think it'll be really fun &amp; educational for the kids. They do that kind of stuff at school all the time!<br /> LO &amp; I just potted flowers together a few weekends ago and we go out and water it together every other day. She loves it! She's 2.</p> <p>I might note on the party invite that you'll be potting at the party so they don't dress them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadhave-4-kids#post-1726751 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 09:45:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 1726751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: ditto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadhave-4-kids#post-1726749 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 09:44:44 +0000 Mamaof2 1726749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want to know about messy play so I dress them appropriately but I wouldn't mind that each child had their own flower pot.</p> <p>*I don't have 4 kids* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadhave-4-kids#post-1726704 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 09:33:52 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1726704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO'S first birthday party will be garden party themed.<br /> I have several friends with boys several years older than LO, one friend has 4. I really want the party to be simple &amp; classy so I really don't want to do a moonwalk. I was thinking I could buy potting soil, little pots, &amp;, flowers &amp; let the big kids plant &amp; bring home their own flowers. And then maybe setting up a table outside, covering it in black paper &amp; letting them draw with chalk &amp; just run around outside. Both these things are messy plus if you have 4 kids...that's a lot of flowers to bring home. My question is, if you had (or have) 4 kids, would you want to be asked if the flower thing was okay BEFORE I made it the for sure plan or would you be okay with just being pre warned on the invitation that there will be messy play? </p>
