3rd birthday party ideas

[Bonfire2010]

It's my son's 3rd birthday in November and I am looking for ideas as to what to do party-wise. It will be too cold for anything outdoors, but our flat is too small to host a party (plus I will be 8 months pregnant by then). If anyone has any ideas on what to do/places to hire (for not too much money) I would be really grateful. I don't have a creative bone in my body so any ideas for entertainment that would be good too!

Thanks x

Bouncy castle party at JAGS or Harris Girls. You get a bouncy castle and assorted toys. 1-1.5hrs of play then 1/2 hour for party food and home. Kids love it. Doesn't need too much work.

Sounds fun! Will bear this in mind when my son is older! He's turning one this Sept, so won't appreciate bouncy castle yet :)

Thanks nunheadmum, will look into the Bouncy Castle idea.

My 3yr old daughter had a soft play party at peckham pulse. It was reasonably priced and included hire of a room for the party lunch. It was a big hit with all the children and we'd like to do it again!

Pinterest is great for any DIY inspiration. I used just Google '(party theme) birthday pinterest' e.g. 'mickey mouse birthday pinterest' - helps with decorations and invites, even food, etc. e.g. http://pinterest.com/litlmizsunshine/mickey-mouse-birthday-party/

Thanks everyone for your ideas.

After many viewings and different permutations, I have booked JAGS Sea Scout Hut and am going to get a 'pirate' in to do songs, stories, bubbles, parachute play etc.

I don't think it took this much costing and planning when I was organising my wedding! :-)

Not sure if you have found your pirate yet - I used Tea Dance for Little People - http://www.tdlp.co.uk/ they done some pirate and fairy themed activities, very imaginative and held the attention of 20 kids. Recommended.

Thanks SR. Have hopefully sorted something out, but if it falls through I will give TDLP a call.
