A lot of parents I know just did them at parks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226320 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:39:46 +0000 looch 1226320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only been to daycare parties outside of the home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226314 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:38:56 +0000 MamaMoose 1226314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We invited day care friends to our LO's 1st bday at home. But we only invited the kids where we know the parents at least casually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226303 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:36:26 +0000 Mamaof2 1226303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have "friend" parties until age 4 and we have them at home. I cant afford these crazy $$ parties outside the home. </p> <p>With that said we are the ONLY people to have "at home" parties everyone has them at a bounce house or chuck e cheese. </p> <p>I would go to either.</p> <p>I will add at age 2 instead of having a party why not just have a play date with some party food for just her and her BFF? Just a thought =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226271 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:29:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 1226271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: ohhhhh okay. that makes more sense. I'm a super introvert/anxious person so I'd probably go either way, buuuut I'd be more comfortable at an "out of the home" place because..well, I don't have a reason. I figure with LO being so little, I'd be busy with her anyway as some of a distraction..if she was older and would take off on me and leave me stranded with a ton of strangers..I may be a little more hesitant! But that's a personal thing (my own social anxiety) over anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226253 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:26:28 +0000 littlek 1226253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: We invited B's daycare friends to his first birthday and it was great meeting the parents. It went so well, that there are talks of playgroups on the weekends. We did not do any in the summer because that's a crazy time but I think it will happen this winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226234 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:20:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1226234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: LOL I just meant because you don't really know the parents. So if you'll feel more comfortable socially speaking if it was a location outside of their home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226231 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:18:59 +0000 sorrycharlie 1226231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm confused..</p> <p>what does the home have to do with it? lol</p> <p>if LO had a buddy, I'd still go to their party. unless it was at some dangerous/scary place or something..</p> <p>ETA - meant in/out of home! soooo tired </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/party-with-daycare-friends#post-1226227 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:17:51 +0000 regberadaisy 1226227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you feel more comfortable going to a daycare friend's party if it was held outside of the home?</p> <p>Or does it not matter?</p> <p>I'm seriously reconsidering not throwing her a 2nd birthday party. Not a day goes by where she doesn't say Emma (her daycare BBF) at home! </p>
