Birthday Party

[TAR]

My baby is turning 2 in October, I usually have all our birthday parties at our house but this year I'm undecided. I live in New Mexico where they have the International Balloon Fiesta every year. I was thinking of having a morning birthday party (hot air balloon theme) at a park near the event the party would start at about the time the balloons would start to rise (about 7:30am) we would serve breakfast (with juice and hot cocoa) and do games and pinata after balloon watching (a lot would land next to the park our party would be at). I would probably do cake last. What do you think, Is it a bad Idea to start a party before 12:00pm, would you be willing to take your kids to a party that is in the morning???

* We would include a back-up plan on the invitation incase of rain *

I think that's a great idea, the kids would think it was so cool to see those balloons. I would totally do that

It sounds fun, but I sure would not want to get up at 6 or 7am for a party. :-P

A lot of people who live here plan on going to go watch the balloons once a year (not in the park but in one of the open spaces) If I send out the invatation before the event starts I figured it would be a one time shot to go see the balloons and attend a party... Do you think that would make it worth getting up at 6 or 7 for a party, if you were going to go watch the balloon anyway?

Oh fooser you have a cutie there!

I htink it would be so neat. I agree it is early. Well how many people would yo be inviting? Would it be feasable to ask some of the intended guests what they thought?

[FooserX]

Thanks :-)

Definitely ask intended guests! You can't listen to Kaytee...she thinks everything is a great idea.

I would love to ask them but if I did that everyone would have a different suggestion and knowing my in-laws they would all expect me to change the whole party to fit there needs (and they all would have different needs) I only invite a few people it's my in-laws that think you have to invite the whole family (form great uncle Rodger* to 3rd cousins Max* and his old girlfriend paula* who he dated in 8th grade she like family).... I'm not kidding either!!!!!!!!!!
