Another 1st Birthday Question

squinty25

Is it bad of me to not want to give out goodie bags at my son's 1st birthday party?  The children include about 12 family members/friend's kids who range from 7 months to 11 years old.  Frankly, I've done it for my older son's birthday parties and I just think it's a waste.  For the young ones I end up filling it with crayons or plastic junk that the parents probably end up throwing in the garbage anyway.  And for the older children, I usually put candy in it....probably another thing they can do without. 

So, basically, I thought I'd just send them home with a balloon and I don't think either the parents or kids would notice if there was no bag.

Absolutely fine!

Thats fine!

If you end up wanting to do something though, I stocked up on those $1 books in the target bins for the younger kids. The older kids each got a big candy bar.
