3rd bday party ideas?

What are you or did you do for your lo's 3rd bday party?  I'm usually on my game planning out his bdays but right now i'm battling m/s all day and would like to make a nice easy party haha (like there is such a thing lol).

I'd love some helpful ideas if you have any!

 

Thanks :)

  • You could always have it at a bouce house place, or a little gym... that would be minimal work on your part, but may cost a bit more.. :)

  • We were going to go to a local train museum, but they didn't open yet for the year.  Instead we had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Party.

    My nephew had his at an indoor play place.  They have some large blow-ups and a huge indoor jungle gym thingy.  Maybe you could find some place like that.

  • We did bumper bowling for DS.  They had the little slides available for the kids to roll the balls down.

  • DS's is tomorrow at our house. They kids (6 boys) are doing make your own mini pizzas and decorate your own cupcakes. For the adults I have "Superbowl" snacks (read: chips & dip) and I'm ordering real pizza. 

    It's a football theme with decor and goody bags. There will probably be some of DS's new Christmas gifts set up for kids to play with, too.

    I would have done bowling or the Children's Museum, but his birthday is tomorrow and I can't do the weekend before or after because of the Holidays, so at our house during the week it was! Poor Christmas babies.

  • We're doing a local jungle gym place. I have done house parties for his 1st and 2nd. It's so hard because of the winter. Now that he's getting older- we invited kids from his daycare.

  • Bean's turning 2, but we're doing his party at an indoor bounce house place.  He loves it there, and I'm excited about it.

  • we're having DD's 3rd birthday in a week at My Gym (just like the Little Gym and Gymboree).  this was by far the most expensive option, but my DD takes a class there and loves it. you can also do a Build a Bear party (that was more affordable) if you have one around.  or i think even a McDonalds with a playland will do parties. 

    we have never had a party for her before, but this is the first year she really understands birthdays and has been going to her friends' parties so we wanted to do something with friends.  i'm hoping by next year the kids will be more respectful or calm or whatever i'm trying to say - so that they won't rip my house apart.  then we'll feel more comfortable having the party at our own home, because i'm not a fan of spending lots of money on elaborate kiddie parties.  this is the only year we plan to do it, just because some of her friends are way too rowdy and don't understand being gentle (or sharing nicely) yet.

     and agreed with pp, poor winter babies.  it's so hard!

  • I have 2 girls, so our party themes have been more girly. But the Where the Wild Things Are party I did for my older one's 5th birthday was a hit:
     
     
    And if he's into Music, a Music party would be fun too:
