We checked out a jump place and DD LOVED it suprisingly. We were eying it for a few of DS's buddies as he loves it and it is very economical at his age but DD loves it too. Which leads to question #1:
1. The kids' bdays are very close and we could do a combined party. That would mean about 15 5YOs bouncing around the same area as DS and his other 3YO buddies. DS is not shy around older kids and honestly, not like there would be any guaranty that there wouldn't be another party there anyway. Would you just do a "combo" event and have both going at once or separate out by a week? Makes next to no difference in price (about $15).
Next quesiton is re DD's guest list. Figured we would invite her small class (her BFF is in her class). Next is the question of neighbors. There is DLN's 5YO (soon to be 6) DD that DD occasionally plays with. There is also a 5YO boy from up the street and his 8YO (soon to be 9) sister. The 5YO boy comes down mostly to play with DS (code: play with DS's toys) and the 8YO likes to come down and play with DD but DD often ends up doing her own thing. Honestly, she's not tight with any of them but at the same time, enjoys spending time with them. Issue is the play area at the jump place is for ages 7 and under so the older sister couldn't even play with the rest of them anyway. WWYD?
TIA!

Ditto. If the party was at home, that would be a different story with the neighbors.
DD is 3 and holds her own pretty well with older kids, so i think a combo would be fine.

Holy cow, we're going to have a little sister!!
I would do the combo party. We do that with the boys and they are going to be 3 and 5 this summer. If it's not at your house skip the neighbors.
We will have ours at the house and then have a "special" dinner at home for each of them on their respective birthdays with a cake or cupcakes or whatever.
