[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- Thank you all! I was feeling bad for being the cheap mom with all the lavish parties around, appreciate all the feedback![/quote]

I threw my kindergartner a simple playground birthday party.  Invited the class, held it rain or shine (it rained) and made sure the adults had a covered spot to hang out.  Kids got soaked and had a blast.  I offered bags of chips, juice boxes and grocery store cupcakes.  We made small goodie bags and I said "no gifts!".  It probably cost $200 total.  I had 2 moms come up and THANK ME for starting a trend in kindergarten for keeping it simple haha.

My kids know we don't do lavish parties.  If they want to do something "fancier" it's with a very small group. They already get to do so much fun stuff, it's not only reserved for their birthdays.  Of course I try to make their day special, but we do that outside of the party because little kids can only handle so much "special" in one day.  Big parties can also be super stressful for young ones.

Keep it simple, host with fun and love, and it'll all be fine.[/quote]
