My niece just turned 5 and she had two friends come over (it was a combo family + small group of friends party). One parent stayed and the other dropped off. I get the sense that the one who dropped off knew my SIL better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323555 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:51:27 +0000 Andrea 2323555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year, at 5. DD has been to a few, but we didn't have one ourselves. She didn't want a party this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323336 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:44:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2323336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Age 5 or 6</p> <p>The kids will be fully potty trained, able to eat on their own &amp; know of any food allergies, and should be able to take directions well by then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323300 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:19:02 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2323300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6th birthday was a drop off party. </p> <p>Seems to be where once the kids are in school they get dropped off. So around 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323259 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:01:57 +0000 .twist. 2323259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember being about 5 or 6. I had a few friends in the neighbourhood so I could walk over to their house for a party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323258 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:00:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 2323258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>school-aged, so 6 or so? I dropped my kindergarten niece off at a play center for a birthday party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323256 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 11:00:01 +0000 psw27 2323256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm... good question. Maybe around 6 or 7? It depends on the activity and how much supervising I would need to do. I cannot imagine having 10 4 year olds in my house without lots of adults supervising!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323218 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 10:41:56 +0000 Truth Bombs 2323218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably after they've been in school for a couple years (7-8). At 5 I would feel fine dropping my kid for a party at a good friend's house, but since the kids will just be starting Kindergarten then, we probably won't know their friends' parents very well yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323217 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 10:40:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2323217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: yep!</p> <p>DS is 7 and has a party next weekend - parents said I could drop off - haven't ever had that offered before so I guess now at age 7 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323211 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 10:38:21 +0000 autumnlove 2323211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 or 6 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323209 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 10:37:40 +0000 mediagirl 2323209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: no parents so, is that called a drop-off party? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323208 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 10:36:40 +0000 Mamaof2 2323208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: you mean a "drop-off" party? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-start-having-kid-only-birthday-parties#post-2323205 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 10:35:46 +0000 mediagirl 2323205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom swears she had a 4th birthday party for my brother (in 1979) with just kids. I don't see that happening today. When do you think you will start having kid-only birthday parties? </p>
