It was perfect. They did the setting and cleaning up and we just had to show up. The best part is it's only 2 hours! Nobody wants to stay at a kid party for longer than that. When it's at your house people tend to linger and it makes a very long day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-los-birthday-party-wasnt-at-your-house#post-2025012 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:50:58 +0000 blackbird 2025012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to have it at a city park. Rent a gazebo for $50....call it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-los-birthday-party-wasnt-at-your-house#post-2025011 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:50:05 +0000 looch 2025011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, the places by me are so expensive! It's kind of insane to pay that for a party, but every place has the same going rate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-los-birthday-party-wasnt-at-your-house#post-2024966 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:27:15 +0000 autumnlove 2024966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had LO's second at My Gym. It was a fast party...10:30-12 but it was perfect for that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-los-birthday-party-wasnt-at-your-house#post-2024937 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:16:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2024937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did our 1st party away from home for DS's 6th birthday - it was at the bowling alley and was so much fun!! It was nice not worrying about plates, napkins, food, drinks, etc!</p> <p>However, it was $$$. I think we will do the party every other year and then a special day out the other years </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-los-birthday-party-wasnt-at-your-house#post-2024929 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:13:15 +0000 hilsy85 2024929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had it at a venue where Lo takes classes--they have a gym that the kids can run around in and then they did a half hour with a musician. It was super easy having someone else do cleanup and set up! It was less relaxed tho because we only had the venue for 90 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-los-birthday-party-wasnt-at-your-house#post-2024915 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:04:48 +0000 anonysquire 2024915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having tge party at my parents. Just more party room there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-los-birthday-party-wasnt-at-your-house#post-2024912 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:03:44 +0000 Bao 2024912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where was it? Was it nice having it somewhere else? Pros and cons? </p> <p> We had A's party at our house in the backyard because it was summer. E's birthday is in March so we are going to have it at a private place DH's boss owns. It used to be a teen zone but now it's just rented for parties, but it's just down the road and it's really nice! I'm so happy to not have to have the mess here, or worry about making food. </p>
