[quote=Anonymous]I'm totally team Kim. This same situation happened so many times during my childhood. My sister and my cousin had birthdays 2 days apart and there was always drama when joint parties happened. My cousin's mom was really irresponsible so my mother would plan out and pay for everything ahead of time and my aunt was supposed to reimburse afterwards but it rarely happened.

All of you suggesting a joint party have obviously never had to deal with fickle and irresponsible family members. Why should Kim have to compromise on her daughter's party? It's obvious that neither sister had planned to invite the other's child to the party (since they only learned about the other's plans when the party date drew near) which suggests an ongoing issue. Why turn a birthday party into a battleground just to have a joint party?

I would never do a joint party for my kid unless I could be assured that the other parents were going to be equal contributors and if it was logical (IE the kids have the same friends, the party theme/idea is the same etc.). [/quote]
