My niece is planning a party for the end of this month at Chuck E. Cheese for my great-nephew who will be turning two years old. I can not believe it will be two years already. Seems like she was just pregnant with him a week ago.
Anyway, does anyone have any tips for planning a party there? Also, does anyone know how to get coupons from there. I looked at the website and the coupons expire on the 27th and his party will be on the 29th. My niece has been checking the Sunday paper and has not found any.
Can you go down and pick some up. I have no children, so this is completely new for me. I am just trying to help them make things run smoothly. A two year old's party can be much work.

I wish I could help you on this one. The only place that I know of is the Sunday papers. But like someone else said, I am sure you can talk to them and they would either give you some or tell you where you could find them. I hope you have fun there. We have one about 25 minutes away from me and it is always packed.

It is alright, I have just decided to give the problem back to my niece and my sister. I do not need to be stressed out over this. They are checking the Sunday paper and so far they have not found any coupons. I know that it will be very crowded because it is on a Saturday.
The problem is that my niece booked the party for twenty children, but a whole lot of other adults are coming with their children. I hope that everything goes smoothly.

You would think that the adults that are bringing children that aren't invited would ask if that was okay. I mean even a small birthday can get really expensive. I think you're probably better off handing this back over to her. It sounds like a really stressful thing to worry about. I hope that you and she get through this without to much headache.

I think they do it all for you Rozie if you just give them a call. I took my son there for his birthday but it was just the two of us because we didn't know anyone then.
We were invited to one a few months ago and she just called them up and arranged it all. She bought the cake and had them organise when to bring everything out. You have your own table and someone to help you with the party.
I am not sure about the discount vouchers as I am not aware they offered those.
I hope you guys have a fun time!!!

Aargh I don't like that when it happens, when they make a booking for so many an then end up inviting more. Sounds like its going to be an expensive one! i hope you can find more.

I do not know why my niece did this. It is going to end up costing a small fortune. Like I said, he is only two years old. There are going to be kids of all ages. I know she is excited, but this is going too far. This kind of confusion makes me want to just stay home. If I could find a way out of going, believe me I would.
My family and I do not spend enough time together anyway. I would much rather go over and spend the day with them. The party is going to be on a Saturday. This means that it is going to be so crowded that one will have to step outside to change their mind. The more I think of it, the more I do not want to attend.

The thing of it is, my niece booked a party for 20 guest. She has invited way more than twenty. She wants to get tokens and pizza for all the other guest also. So my sister has cornered me to look for coupons online.
So far, I have found four. I do not know how I got dragged into the planning. I just wanted to go and be a guest and take my little gifts. I wanted to hug and kiss my nephew and then go home. Now, I am stressed out right along with them. This kid is turning two years old.
I could fix him up, buy a cake, take a few snapshots, put it in a photo album and call it a year. I know it is my first great-nephew. But the ten nieces and nephews before him wore me out. Always an auntie, never a mother. This bites.
