My daughter will be 3 in June and Id like to have a fun party for her. The last two mainly were just family because we really dont have a lot of friends with children. I now have her in daycare but I dont know how parents that dont know us will feel about coming to a birthday party for a kid, or parent they dont know. Im trying to figure out how other parents meet and have other kids for friends for their children. I hope that made sense. Any who. Id also like some ideas for some places to throw a fun party for toddlers, other then chucky cheeses. They are expensive and too crowded.
Elk Grove Pavilion has a lot of different party rooms based upon what your child is into. We had our daughters 2nd b-day there. It was lots of room and lots of fun for everyone. We had a Carousel Party.
I'm not sure how much it costs, but Little Village Play Place in Arlington Heights does B-day Parties. It's really fun, just look up the name on line.

There is a great website www.birthdaypartyideas.com that has wonderful ideas from simple to complex for at home or at a park...I've gotten lots of fun game and food ideas from them...
Hello-Have you considered asking your daughter's school about having her party there? They might let you bring in some games, decorations, etc. and have the party after nap time. This way you don't need to worry about the whole parent situation, plus kids tend to be better behaved with their teachers around. You might also check with McDonalds. Some restaurants have great play areas and it is not too crowded or expensive. Local parks are also a good place, some even have covered areas with tables.
My daughter is 2 and has about 7-8 friends she's made through her various classes or who are kids of my friends. I would think that if you daughter has a few kids she talks a lot about or perfers to spend time with at daycare, you should just invite them and their parents to the party and perhaps contact the parents now to meet or something?
In terms of party ideas, what about just bringing sandwiches and cake to a nearby park with picnic tables where the kids can play for a couple of hours since it'll be June? We had my daughter's 2nd birthday party in December at an indoor playground at the park district building, so it was basically the same thing and perfect for that age since all they want to do is run around and play anyway!
