I put DC's first birthday together in 3 nights. Seriously, I put DC to bed and in 3 nights I assembled the favors, the banner, made the cupcake toppers, ordered stuff online.. it was no big deal, I like doing it and for me it's easy. Then we invited people to celebrate with us and I hear that they think we exaggerated? I know for sure they're on DCUM and it breaks my heart to know that friends that I love and care about are as mean and vile like we read around here.

Sounds like your "friends" are part of the problem.

I also think that the hosts' tone can make a big difference. I took my son to a 5th birthday party that was crazy elaborate. The most work for a kid's party I've ever seen! But the intention was very clearly to give the kids a good time (which they did). And when asked about all the hard work, the hosts could honestly say that planning for their one child's party was a fun hobby, something they enjoyed doing as a family. They had fun with it, the kids loved the party, and there was no sense of trying to out do anybody. (I confess, that I had some small feelings of envy, like I SHOULD do more with our parties, but really, the pure joy and good intentions of the event helped me get past them.)
