[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s practically $1K floor to throw a 5 year old a party in this area with adequate space, food and drinks. It’s ridiculous. I don’t judge. And if the food runs out I would just tell my kid we will get something on the way home. It’s not a crisis.[/quote]

I mean, you would think if you are investing that much you wouldn’t want your guests to leave hungry. [/quote]

No - as someone who was raised in tight circumstances I feel uncomfortable spending an amount on a child’s bday party that would have been my parents’ food budget for several months growing up. It feels very extravagant. My point is more so that a kids party should not have to feel like an investment at all. And I do not begrudge anyone who is not trying to spend that kind of $$.[/quote]

I think you are missing the point here. If you are at the party-they already made the investment. They just made a conscious choice not to spend the extra $50 to make sure everyone gets fed. If you are already spending that much-then at least make it make sense.

And you know what? You don’t have to have a party at all! Nobody likes planning them. They are awful. But we all do them, and we all go. And you could also have an awesome low key party in a backyard or a park for super cheap and then pretty much the whole budget is just food. There are ways to be a good host without spending tons of money. [/quote]
