What to Do About My Daughters 7Th Birthday???

I don’t think you are asking a lot, I'm sure if you give the parents enough notice it could be ok. If the parents have a bit of an issue with it...why not go for Ice Cream right after school, you can do something small and quick at Cold Stone or Dairy Queen. I was at a local Cold Stone one day and a family of at least 20 was there for a little girls 3rd B-day and they seemed to be making a big deal about it. And you could still do dinner with the family. I hope this helps and I hope it all works out for you both!!

I wouldn't allow my son to be out that late on a school night, he needs to be in bed much earlier! I would suggest that your family celebrate your daughter's bday on her bday (have cake, open presents) but go out to dinner with the friends on the weekend or do something that is earlier (if that works with the friends' schedule). Most of my son's friends are in aftercare so they couldn't do that either.

We never went out to dinner when I was young but my mom let us plan the menu with our favorite foods. They didn't have to consist of a complete and balanced meal, I remember one year I requested lasagna, steak and corn on the cob and that is what we had!!

If your daughter is upset that her brother is celebrating at school, remind her about the rules at her school and he will have to follow them when he is her age as well.

Good luck! C.

Do what I do--celebrate my birthday for a week! When my real birthday falls on a work day I can't have a barbecue or luau or whatever, so I postpone it till the weekend. I do something special with my family on the real day and then continue the party on the weekend. I think the parents of your daughter's friends would understandably not want to have a mid-week night out.

I love the idea of wearing a tiara!!! Too cute!!!
Perhaps you want to have a celebration on Saturday or Sunday with their friends...as a school night is difficult, and stressful, for most parents and children.

I also celebrate the "Golden Birthday", the age they turn on the date. So 11 and 12 (and the little one's birthdate?) will be their Golden Birthdays!
Blessings

I don't think it would be wrong of you to take the kids to dinner and then bring them home....why don't you start the party earlier, like pick all the kids up right after school; that way you can get them home earlier. Ask the parents of these children if that would be okay with them!
