So, my son is turning 5 on the 22nd and is extremely excited about it. His father and I generally have separate parties for him because of our respective family's intense dislike of each other. This year however it is my goal to have one party, one because he wants to invite all his "girlfriends" and "dawgs" (and that gets expensive) and because hes so hyped about being 5. Besides that, the schism between us needs to be breached eventually and what kind of message does that send to the kids....if we cant even be civil on their birthdays? (All in all it really comes down to the :loot:. I want to throw him something memorable and I dont have the funds to do so this year).
So, this is where you guys come in. I've done the Chuck E. Cheese thing numerous times and not only is that a NIGHTMARE when you are responsible for more than 2-3 kids, but they generally overbook parties and then its MAYHEM. Besides the fact that it gets pricey the more people you have. Does anyone have any suggestions in the NoVA/ DC area of fun, different, catering to 5 year olds party places? We just went to a bday party at Generous George's Pizza in Alexandria last weekend, but that would be super lame to copy their idea so soon after. (For those of you that have kids, this place is great...the kids get to make their own pizza and the rooms are covered with carnival animals).
Anyway, HELP. I need to make reservations and get invitations out no later than tomorrow.
