I'm in a bit of a quandry as to what to do for Bugs 2nd Birthday. This year was just a quiet BBQ at a local conservation park with family and a few friends, only one other child.

This time I am wanting to make it more special for her as our group of friends has grown considerably. The place we went to for her 1st Birthday is great for kids as it has plenty of space to run around, playgrounds and a kids wading pool.

Would it be ok to go to the same place? And would you combine everyone or have a separate family party? Opinions please!!

I don't see any reason why it would be wrong to have it in the same place as her first birthday, I say go for it :thumbsup: , if its what you want

If it was great for the kids and they had fun , then why not !

I say go for it !

As for combining, its less hassle if you do ! you wont have to do everything twice!

:thumbsup: I'd definately go to the same place. If its perfect why not!:yes: I would combine everyone to have just one party, planning 2 sounds like a lot more drama and hardwork to me.:D

My first reaction was to have a together party which is what I polled but if you have family drama issues perhaps separate parties could work (we have issues with my mum she either wont attend, will attend but not socialise with anyone but then tell me how rude everyone was to her when she herself wasnt making an effort :banghead: or she will cause a whole big argument and act really childish if the big event isnt started with her - should have sen the blue we had because I didnt want to celebrate my birthday last year it was 2 days before DD was due so I wasnt in the mood )

ALthough it can also depend on how many kids will be coming too. if there going to be stacks of kids running around older relatives might not be comfortable around them so perhaps morning or afternoon tea (whatever suits you) might be best for them) Grandmothers close by are generally good for hosting these!

WHatever you decide make sure that you're comfortable in your decision and dont let anyone put you off it!!

BTW sounds like a great place for a kids happybirthday party:smiliedance:
GOOD LUCK!:fingerscrossed:

Hi everyone. Thanks to those of you who have voted so far.

The reason I was wondering whether to have separate parties is because Im planning to invite about 25 kids. Whereas my family is used to quiet BBQ's together. I dont think they will mind combining it though. I suppose I can always haev a BBQ lunch with them and make the party for about 2pm.:o :laughing:

Whiteman Park is a great place for a party, especially when it means your house & gardens aren't going to be trashed by kids running everywhere. And there's always cover and BBQ's available. I'd have everyone at the one time. It will mean the day won't stretch out to be too long and you'll have family there to help while you're trying to organise things for the kids.

:laughing: Funny! My family are more the type who will sit back and laugh at me or go off and do there own thing.

You could always have them together but stagger the times? We are doing this for the boys bday party. There party for friends is at 3:00 and finishes at 4:15, at 4:30 family will come :) Just another idea :)
