    You don't realise how much people lack common courtesy until you try and organise a kids party
    Indeed drives the missus potty.

    If they don't confirm or turn up they are off next years list.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      WTF?

      It's not the 1970s.

      We tend to do

      Bouncy Castle
      Kids Entertainer
      Disco
      Chocolate Fountain
      Outside catering / buffet
      Champagne for the Adults, Prosecco for the kids
      and a free pony each in the goody bag at the end.

      It's worth it to see the look on their little faces. (the parents that is)
      What happens in General, stays in General.
      You know what they say about assumptions!

        Have a treasure hunt before the party, all kids must hand over mobile phones, etc. Make it start about 2 miles from the party venue.
        If 50% of them survive that, then it's a lot lower cost, plus they get exercise.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          Don't forget the goodie bag.

          As kids got older I gave them a choice between party and doing something nice. Special day out. Clay pigeon shooting. Batman suit and trip to the top of BuckPal(then shouting "my name is AtW and I am here for my gong").

          Kids. Crying, screaming, moaning. And thats just the conception.

            Then we have to go through the presents and make sure we get nice presents on their birthday for those who spent a lot on presents

                I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
