Would you invite kids to a 95th birthday party?

Or just leave it as all adults? We would be talking like 25 kids under the age of 12!

Depends on how big of a shin-dig this is going to be. How many adults will be invited? 25 kids under 12 is a LOT.

Re: Would you invite kids to a 95th birthday party?

im guessing its a family member of the kids?... My grandmother turned 90 in March, we had a big party for her in July and all the kids in the family were invited. It would have been weird if they werent

I say yes, but I invite kids to everything, they are part of my family, they get invited every time. Kids also help bring out the fun side of people at parties, out there all cute dancing around, get others into it.

I think it depends on the 95 year old. Is she someone who would enjoy watching the kids interact and wants a light hearted family event? Or is it someone who wants a more adult party? I know when I'm 95 I would love to see my great grandchildren running around at my party but my grandmother is 93 and while she loves to see my children she wanted a nice family dinner with them but wanted an adult dinner with her friends with a quiet sit down meal at a nice restaurant sans children.

I agree. That many kids will definitely change the "mood" of the party, so I guess it depends on what the 95 year old enjoys.

I say definitely yes.

No one in my family has lived long enough to have a 95th birthday party, but I assume if they did they would want to celebrate with their grandchildren and great grandchildren. I don't imagine 95th birthday parties get all that wild and crazy to warrant not having children there..

I completely agree...

Plus, I think it's important for them to be part of such an important celebration. I mean, how often does someone turn 95?

I agree. It really depends on the person. What do you think she would want??

Those 25 children will most likely make the 95 year old feel happy and proud!

If these are grandchildren, great-grandchildren and grand nieces, and nephews, then yes, definitely! What an accomplishment!

I agree!! If these children are all family, definitely make sure to get pictures of them together with the 95 year old. It'll be a once in a lifetime picture, and a great memory
