Anyway, does anyone have suggestions for including a barely 3 yr old boy in
a party where the rest of the participants are girls ranging from 3 1/2 to
5? I've already warned grandma that the guest list is 8 little girls
(including DD), plus her grandson.

He sounds so cute! At three, he might enjoy dressing up in a fairy costume
anyway, but if he is already convinced that it's too girly, he can always
dress up as something else. It won't destroy the party to have Superman
present, or a little pirate or Peter Pan or knight or magician. The party
place will have something in mind; I am sure they get quite a few fairy
princesses with male friends and relatives. The little boy's family will
probably ring you to discuss costuming, and you could invite his Mum as well,
if you are concerned he won't cope.

In terms of party mechanics, so to speak, I doubt he will require much more
supervision than the rest of them. None of them understand party game rules
well, some of them will cry if they don't get a prize, and most of them will
spill food and drink on themselves. Which is why you are going to Fairy B
Cheese, right? ;-)
