My DD 9 asked if she could have a Halloween party. I decided to say yes. then the other two start with can't i have one too???? They are a ds 12 and dd 7.

So I started thinking, our house is really too small to host them all, but we belong to a club and I could rent a room for about $75. But I really don't want to do that. I was thinking of something more casual. So what do you think of staggered times, sharing the decorations, but putting out new food (well at least the centerpiece graveyard cake), refilling everything else. I am not sure if I would collapse from exhaustion. but i was thinking

1-3 7 year old girls
330-530 9 year old girls
6-8 12 year old boys, I already said no to girls.

Well, if you think that you won't be too exhausted thatwould work well.

You will have to think about stragglers and parents not exactly picking them up in time. It will save time and decorations.

I think it would be OK...just have to be prepared for not having all kids gone in time for the next group.

maybe i should put an hour in between them.

My kids are almost the exact same ages and I am having a Halloween party too!!! My girls are 7 and 8 and my son is 12.
I am having my girls party from 12 to 3 and my sons party from 5 to 8.
Maybe I am mean for making my girls combine their parties but their ages are more conducive to it and I just think it will work better. My son is at the age where I just don't think it would work with the little kids and big kids in a bounce house.
Hope your party works out great!!
