Okay, let's sort out this whole kiddie party thing, shall we? Does anyone remember having big gift bags when they were kids? I think it's a spillover from celebrity gifting suites for award shows. If kids gift bags get any bigger we are going to have to pay taxes on them.
Have you ever gotten invited to a big kiddie party, where you don't know any adults accept the host? Torture. I've had to pass on a fair bit of kiddie of parties because they are smack in the middle of naptime, and it's just not worth it. I went to one that was great and it was great, partly because it wasn't too big. I actually could sit. There is nothing worse than having nowhere to sit.
