We are having a football themed party for our son’s first birthday in November. The party is going to be during the Eagles game on Sunday. If everyone who is invited shows, there will be 5 kids (including my 1 year old) and 25 adults. I would like to serve alcohol (beer and wine) but my husband says it is innappropiate for a children’s birthday party. I say that it is a party for our son, but the adults want to have a good time too. Please give me your thoughts.
My son is the only grandchild on both sides of the family. He doesn’t have any young relatives, which is why there is mostly adults.
Also, the ages of children invited range from 12-24 months.
I am not talking about hard liquor here. Just beer and wine.
Thanks for the input. I should mention that the party is not on his birthday. We are spending his birthday with immediate family, having cake and opening presents. It is not my intention for people to get drunk. But I thought that since most of the adults are coming without kids, they would be bored with a kiddie party, which is why we thought to have it during the football game. The children/babies will have an area for them to play and interact.
