also i made skewers from stirrers instead of using the actual skewers since i was paranoid about the pointed tip. a lot of parents appreciated the healthy but fun choices. - incidentally for my son;s 3rd b'day...

we had the same thought - no pizza - so here's what we did - jelly s/w cut in fun shapes, fruit skewers, baby carrots, vegetable chips, mickey shaped cheese, cake

@Carla - I have been working from home for the past 3 years and need to get on conf calls every so often...

After a lot of effort my son realized that when i tell him that i am on work phone he is not allowed to yell or talk.

some tricks - 1. put on TV (don;t like it but can't be helped at times)
2. reward good behavior after the call is over
3. let him do something quietly near you

I completely agree with JessK. You can only exercise control upto a certain extent without being rude and over the top - A wish list is always a great idea! Memberships to museums or classes (like soccer, ballet, piano etc if you plan to put your child in it ) is an awesome idea too .... Or even asking grandparents to recycle some old toys from your childhood days if they have any!

The kids love it and isn't that what birthday parties are supposed to be about- what kids like?

I am definitely not in favor of over the top goodie bags and infact prefer simple stuff (yes the run of the mill kind) and yes if it has a couple of candies - no problem - why not - just teach the kids to ration and eat it as per your rules...make them add the candy to the jar..

What I have a huge problem with is nail paints and stuff like that for a 5 yr old girl's party goodie bags - a definite NO NO even though the theme maybe princess or dress up! That would go in the trash in front of the host in my opinion (sorry feel very strongly about this)

They may add to the junk in the house but like many posters above, keep a box or drawer for this stuff and let the kids play every so often with it.....that's what we do in our house.

Infact our neighbor kept their pile out during halloween and all the kids had a blast!! theirs was the most popular house!
