Hmmmn. Well, all the books say the same thing - do it simple because the child will be overwhelmed. A test run is always good if possible - like talking the child to someone else's b'day party. Viet Babe loves a loud, crowded, zoo-like environment with people running around (heck, I take her to concerts - she loves it) so the crazy parties work for her.
On another note, I'm interested in the thread about how to entertain adults during the parties. At least where I am, the parties don't last that long that you'd worry about that. The adults are basically happy to have their torsos back without kids clinging to them, grab noshes and chat with fellow parents as the kids go nutso.
Thanks for the advice about the neighbors Credit This and Tex Lex. I don't have any of the neighbors phone numbers or last names but I've been approaching them when I see them to extend the invitation for the party.
