Ideas for baby's 1st birthday party in Chicago
Our townhome is too small for a party of 50 people - and WAY to many stairs for the little ones to run around. Any ideas of places that would be fun for those w/o kids? I was thinking renting a tent and having it in a park, but the process of applying for permits for tent, booze, etc just seems like a pain. i'd need an event planner!! I guess if anyone has a cheap good event planner, that'd be great too.
thanks!
Re: Ideas for baby's 1st birthday party in Chicago
Do you have a community clubhouse where you can rent the room?
OR a family member who is willing to open their backyard to you for the party?
What about your Village rec center?
A few ideas:
Family Grounds Cafe
Kid City
Pump it Up
Hobbitland
Little Gym
If you want to serve alcohol, your best bet will be to call restaurants and find a place with a private room. That will be costly though.
Depending on the weather, what about Foster Ave Beach? There are always people near the beach barbequing with family. May need to arrive early to stake out a spot. I don't think you need a permit to gather at the beach; though 50 people may be a lot.
We live in River North and our building Kingsbury Plaza, rents out their party room - it's all set with a full kitchen, large screen TV and tables, couches, etc.
Not sure the occupancy will hold 50 - but that's your guest list right? Probably looking at 30-35 actually showing up.
I'm sure a park would be nice too!
