The Big TWO

These babies are growing way too fast 🥹🥹 what bday themes are you ladies doing?

Birthday party help.. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Can I ask the mums in England how much they are spending on birthday parties?

Thinking ahead to January as my daughter will be 6. She wants a class party (only 15 of them) and wants it at her gymnastics club.

They charge £250 for 25 children, 1 hour of gymnastics and then 1 hour in the party room.
No food or anything included.

Is this decent or really expensive?
Would hiring a hall end up being similar?

Only bonus is the gym I won’t be able to decorate much so maybe I’ll save some money on balloons etc but I’ll still need to provide food, party bags etc.

I’ve never done a huge class party before only
Small party’s at home!

I’m sitting here chilling at 34 weeks and I see people announcing their October babies in September! One lady posted ‘if your 34 weeks this is what your baby looks like right now’ whiles holding her October 2026 in September 🤯

Combined Birthday party for 1st and 6th

What are your thoughts on combined birthday parties? I am planning a 1st birthday party for my youngest but my other child just started school and wanted a party so he can invite his friends. The problem is their birthdays are 10 days apart. I don’t really want to do back to back weekends (I know I will probably have a to do in the future). My son is turning 6. How would you combine the parties without his friends feeling obligated to get the 1 year old a gift? How would you combine them without making the 6 year old feel left out? What time would you have the party? I was thinking like 1pm-5pm and slitting the time like the first half is one party and the second half the other one. Where people can come and go whenever. I already have the theme for the 1st birthday and my son is actually surprisingly excited about it.

Alcohol at kids parties

Im seeing this more and more now.
Personally, i dont see any need for alcohol at a kids birthday party, my siblings however have always had an alcohol room when its a kids birthday party, it usually ends up with most the parents getting tipsy/drunk in the kitchen with their kids running havoc elsewhere with often 1 or 2 parents/grandparents watching over them

Good idea or bad idea?

We are having a birthday party. Our class has 30 children but venues around our area host up to 20 children. Would it be OK to invite just 20 children of the whole class?

Our NIPT finally came back and we are having another boy! My son will be thrilled because he has been asking for a brother before he even found out.

1st Birthday...

So I know it’s still 6 months away, but I’m a planner 😂😅

When it’s my little lad’s birthday, I’ll sadly be in work. I’m a teacher, which means there’s no booking the day off! I’ll be up at 5:30am and out of the house by 7am, while my wife is taking the day off to spend with him. It feels a bit mean to wake him up just so I can see him before I leave, and I won’t be home from work any earlier than 5pm.
So… there won’t be any cute balloons outside his room when he wakes up, sleepy morning breakfasts and cuddles with Mummy, or getting to see his little birthday face first thing. 🥺

And I know people will say, “He won’t know what day of the week it is — just celebrate at the weekend!” We are! We’re having a family party at the weekend, so that side of things is covered.
But I guess what I’m looking for is an idea for a little birthday tradition that we can do together every year when I get home from work. Something special that becomes our thing, even if I have to miss the morning.

So, what have you got? 🥹❤️

Thank you in advance

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY 🥳🥰

Bessttiieeeeeee it’s my birthday! Although we haven’t met yet and I’m sure we will 😊❤️ I can’t wait to celebrate times like this with you oh the memories we will make

Loving this stage 🥰🥰

Not sharing this to put anyone down if you’re finding this stage hard, just wanted to share my positive experience at the moment 💕
