My niece is turning 3 this week and her mom – my sister-in-law – told me excitedly about the big party they’re planning for her. She and my brother-in-law are hiring a Dora the Explorer impersonator who is going to do a two-hour activity based on my niece’s favorite “Dora” episode. There will be a Dora cake, of course, and lots of other children and, oh, my sister-in-law hopes my husband and I can make it.

But after experiencing a similar party when our nephew turned 4 a few months ago, the last thing my husband and I care to do is attend another children’s party. What we’d love, instead, is a separate get-together for just the family members so that we might actually spend some quality time with our niece and not fight a bunch of rowdy toddlers for a nugget of her attention.

How Do You Handle Invites To Children’s Parties For Your Friends’ And Family’s Kids?

  • Drop off my kid and a gift, and swing back around when the party’s over. Free afternoon — score!
  • Skip the party and give the kid a gift the next time I see him or her.
  • I don’t know anyone with kids and I hope it stays that way for a long time!
  • Other. I’ll explain in the comments!
