cpw: how old is too old for a goodie bag

mellysmommy

So M's party is this saturday, and I'm working on last minute goodie bags. Originally I wasn't going to do them because.. well.. it's a first birthday party. I didn't think they were necessary. I mentioned this to hubby and he said "a party is not a party without goodie bags!" So now, I'm making some

I made a list of every kid we invited and there's 13 boys and 13 girls, they all range in age from 1 to 15.


So my question is: they all get goodie bags, right? My H seems to think that age 10 is the cutt-off, but there are only a couple kids above that and I don't want anyone to feel left out. So wwJ13d?

Shit man. That's annoying. I hate mobile posting, you guys kwim, yeah? I can't edit

Oh, I know its a bit ridiculous. We have huge families and a big circle of friends. There are about 60 people.

26 is if every single child attends. People suck at RSVP-ing, but I want to be prepared. Obviously I don't want to not have enough.

I had a 10 and 11 year old at DDs party. I gave them goody bags. They didn't seem to care too much about them. I doubt older kids care.

Older ones generally don't seem to care but it is a nice thought for them.

Which reminds me I need to get some for our party!!

I would just make a generic bag. My oldest ia 14 and enjoys the candy and novelty toys.

Our will have bubbles, suckers, and fruit snacks ... oldest kids are both 14...The rest are 10 and under. They don't want them...they won't take them

I didn't do them for over 13....there was enough good and treats out, so the goody bags I did were very much for the little kids...

I did a basic goody bag for kids 12 and under. I expect the older kids are too grown up for toys.
