I've always heard that there should be as many child guests as the kid is old. But maybe this is if parents aren't included? One of our neighbors had a birthday party/barbecue for their kid's second birthday last September and invited families. It was kind of open-house-y, which worked well with small children and short attention spans. They had one of those inflatable fenced trampoline thingies, a train table, a few other toys (mostly balls--lots of boys in our neighborhood), and lots of tables and chairs for the parents to sit, talk and eat while the kids amused themselves. Very low-key and very fun.
Don't know if we'll do anything for Magnus' third this summer.
