[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are setting precedent for bad values for your child. You should have given her the option of this exclusive party vs a more casual one where all her friends can be invited. Hopefully she would have picked the 2nd option, to be inclusive.  You are setting her up to be an elitist. What's more important, to have a materialistic party where the price per kid is high or use that same money to invite all her friends. At the end of the day, what's more important to have a fancy birthday party or one where you are surrounded by all the people who you consider friends? You are imprinting to her bad behaviors that she may model later on .... sad.[/quote]

Suggesting that the mom should have invited all friends and chosen a cheaper venue in ridiculous. She wanted to have an amazing party for he child's 10th birthday.  We've done more expensive birthdays for our 3 kid's 10's also. This isn't kindergarten. I could do an all friends party for my shy son.  For two very outgoing daughters, hosting all their friends would be insane.  Honestly they have always preferred small high quality parties with their close friends.  They enjoy and bond a lot more than those huge venues we used to do when they were little.  I'm glad the parties have gotten smaller and higher in quality.[/quote]
