POLL: Girls Only?
For many years, I have hosted a girls' Easter brunch. I supply the food and easter baskets for everyone and get out the good china. The guests each bring champagne or oj and 1 item per guest to stuff everyone's easter baskets.
When I first started doing this, all of my friends were single. Now we're a mix of single girls, girls with boyfriends, and girls married with kids.
I can't decide if I should open it up to allow the girls to bring their kids this year or keep it girls only. If children were invited, it would probably be a 3 y.o., 2 y.o., 6 month old, 4 month old and 3 month old. I usually have between 8 and 12 girls.

Re: POLL: Girls Only?
However, the only issue I see is if you do this on Easter day. Many with families start their own traditions in their homes with their kids on Easter morning, this may prevent some of the mommas from coming.
I'm clearly the minority, as I said open it to everyone and do an egg hunt. I totally understand the need for girl time, but I'm big on spending holidays with my kids so I'd want to be with them on Easter too.
However, if you do it some other day (not on actual Easter), I'd keep it girls only.
I voted mommies only. It's so hard to actually catch up with friends when the kids are around, someone is always running off halfway through a conversation after a kid and I always leave feeling like I didn't talk to so-and-so enough. Plus if this is the tradition, I'd just keep it that way. Babies can stay home with the daddies so the mom's can get some time to themselves.
ETA: the girls have a point about spending holidays with family. I'd definitely want to be home with mine on Easter Sunday. I guess I was thinking maybe you did it on a different day.
I've thought about this and know some people have had conflicts in the past, so I was thinking of doing it on Saturday (the day before Easter) this year.
I was going to say that time away from my family on a holiday probably would impact my decision to come to something like this, but now that I see that you're thinking about doing in on an alternate day, I say definitely keep with the "girls only" tradition. Sounds fun!

I'm with all the other girls and say to leave it girls only and have it on a day other than Easter.
And I'm jealous...that sounds like so much fun!
