My daughter is turning 5 next month and I'd like some ideas of where to have a party for her and some of her friends. Some place local would be great....I don't know that I really want to ask people to drive to Raleigh or Cary. Thanks!
Not really. We usually have a family party in our backyard, but this year some of her friends in preschool are having "friend" birthday parties. I'd prefer not to have a bunch of kids running around my house making a mess if the weather isn't good enough to be outside.
I know this may be old, but when I was a kid probably about the same age range my mom had a person who puts on a marionette show. I remember I liked it so much my mom had the woman come back for my birthday the following year.
:cheers: I hear ya. Maybe you could try that new Bouncing place where Morgan's Gymnastics used to be. I still haven't been there but heard that it's fun.
Jumpin Jax is at 40/42 behind Golden Corrall. They have birthday parties at a reasonable price. I take my toddlers there in the toddler section, but the older kids seem to love the big kid section! www.Jumpinjkids.com
Someplace that will host the party for you, or just someplace to have a party? You could go to a park like the Clayton Community Park off of Amelia Church Rd .. there's a playground right there that the kids could play on, near a pavilion/covered picnic area. I know they can be busy on weekends with sporting events and activities, so not sure how you'd go about assuring some space .. but it's a thought.
We've been to a few birthday parties at the Kid's Clubhouse. Also, we did our daughter's 4th party at DanceArt Dance Studio last year. The teacher dressed up as a princess, and the girls really loved it.
Park Birthday party!! What about a park?? Usually around 20.00 an hour....I am doing my son's 7th b-day @ White Deer Park in garner...2 hrs = 40.00. The kids get to play right next to the shelter/tables at the playground! Cheap, fun, and you can invite alot of kids and dont have to worry about a HOUSE clean up!!:lol:
Howell Theater I just booked my boys party at the Howell and am excited about it. They will let you choose the movie (of those that are current). The cost ranges from $6-9 per person depending on the package you choose. Karen
Thanks for some ideas! I definitely want to do it somewhere that they will do the hosting for me. We've been to a few parties at Kids Clubhouse, so I don't really want to do it there. I was thinking DanceArt (my daughter takes dance there), but I'm not sure. In preschool, I feel like I should be inviting her whole class instead of just girls, and I don't know if the boys would like a dance party. Would you invite a whole preschool class or just the girls your daughter wants to invite at this age? I'd hate to make any of the kids feel left out.
I WOULD INVITE THE WHOLE CLASS..I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT 1/2 USUALLY ONLY COME ANYWAYS.....MOST HAVE OTHER STUFF GOING ON!!
That's what I figured. I'm trying to figure out minimal work and cost for me, but still a fun party for boys and girls!
I would suggest you to throw a theme party based on her favorite cartoon character like Minnie mouse or something like that. Recently it was my niece's birthday party, we surprised her with a Minnie theme party. We arranged minnie cake minnie gifts and all staff. Even we arranged return gifts we gave cat eye sunglasses to every child which they really liked. You can find them at any sunglasses distributors selling sunglasses in bulk online. Or else you can make a giveaway theme based bags. Hope it is useful
