LO's 2nd birthday party was just family in our small apartment last year. It felt overwhelming having the 3 of us + 7 family members.
I have the opportunity to rent a dance studio that is 16 x 31 at a super duper cheap rate. We'd bring in food and decorations, etc. LO doesn't have that many friends since she's not in daycare/pre-school, so I think there are 5 kids invited and a total of around 15-18 people who will be in the space.
I'm trying to figure out how to set up the space and what kind of activities to have for the kiddies who come. I was thinking about having LOs favorite sing-along lady come but that seems like a lot for 5 kids. There will be more adults because our families will be there, too. LO is into Tinkerbell right now so that's the theme I'm thinking about doing. The party will probably be about 2-3 hours. I also don't want to spend a ton of money. Any suggestions?
