We invited L's daycare friends to her 1st birthday party, buuuut, the parents were already our close friends so they would have come anyway... haha. </p> <p>Daycare recently got a new kid and I'm not friends with the parents, but if L was invited to his party we would definitely go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468790 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:23:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1468790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would invite them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468775 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:18:35 +0000 tinyperson 1468775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If space isn't an issue, then invite them! They can only say no. Maybe they were just as unsure about inviting daycare friends :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468766 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:15:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 1468766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering this too, I think it will depend if we do the party at our house or somewhere else! Space is limited and we have big families! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468759 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:13:15 +0000 pelikila 1468759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started getting invitations to daycare friends parties when they started turning 2. We started attending daycare friends parties when they started turning 3 just because before that the interaction wasn't solid enough for me to make the effort. By 3 they are totally friends and really care about attending parties. We invited 6 of C's daycare friend's to his third birthday last month and 4 of the 6 came. We did not invite the whole class, just the ones C is really close to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468688 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:40:48 +0000 Mamaof2 1468688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 3 yr old parties we have attended have had maybe 5-6 kids out of 18 - so 1/3 of them came</p> <p>For the 4-5 yr old parties - pretty much 95% came!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468682 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:37:16 +0000 Andrea 1468682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: they do not factor into the head count </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468679 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:36:36 +0000 regberadaisy 1468679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: ooohhh how do parents figure into the head count of play gyms? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468678 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:36:06 +0000 Andrea 1468678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone came!!! We had 30 kids. If you have a play gym party, people love those. We are having another one this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468677 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:36:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1468677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha you're not helping me. :P I've been literally bringing this up to him every day for 3 days. I'm hoping I can eventually annoy him enough to break him down. hahhaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468670 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:34:19 +0000 looch 1468670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Invite them! We were invited to two birthday parties last year, and my son had a blast. They were all running around after each other, high fiving, hugging, it melted my heart.</p> <p>You'd be surprised, parents will make the effort even if they don't know you all that well, because it is for the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-invited-daycare-friends#post-1468667 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 08:32:27 +0000 regberadaisy 1468667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>to LO's birthday party did many of them come? How old was LO?</p> <p>One of the big reasons I really want to throw LO a 2nd birthday party now is how cute she is with her day care friends! Every day when she goes to leave her and two other girls give each other hugs and kisses!! Then they all come in for a trio group hug! &lt;3</p> <p>Gah! I just think she will have SO much fun having them at her birthday.</p> <p>But DH thinks that they won't come and it's too much hassle/pressure to invite them. I know for a fact one of the girls birthday is this month so either they're not having a party or inviting daycare friends.</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>P.S. Yes, this is consuming my thoughts lately. :P </p>
