Is your New Year Eve’s party family friendly?

Our family has been invited to a family-friendly New Year’s Eve party. The invitation said no need to get a babysitter. All ages are welcome. They are planning dancing and singing in one room, a poker room for the dads in another area and a game room for the kids. They’re asking families to BYOB and to bring an appetizer to share. I think they’re planning to go pretty late, but I’m thinking I’m bringing my kiddies home around 10 p.m. But I do think it’s nice to have some place to celebrate with other families.

Apparently my friends aren’t the only ones planning a family celebration. The New York Times ran a story about a bunch of different inns and destinations around the country catering New Year’s Eve to parents and their kids.

The story talks about family parties at aquariums, water parks, winter lodges and indoor carnivals, among many other locations.

Is your New Year’s Eve an adult-only holiday or can kids join the celebration? What are your plans with your kids? How late will you stay out with them? How old should they be to stay up until midnight? Do you worry about drunks on the road when you’re driving home?

And, if you want to share your New Year fun, send us photos!
