[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post title is asking about "too much work" re: bday parties, but youre not asking about a conventional kid party at your house or the nearby Sky Zone.

You're talking about a formal bday party for your kid?? 
"Formal" as in a quincera?[/quote]Skyzone, bounce house, etc. not just in your backyard with mostly family and two neighborhood kids. Clearly everyone else knows what I was referring to.[/quote]

I have 3 kids. I have always thrown parties for them. I don’t find planning a birthday party stressful at all. If it is at a venue, it is easy. You just pay for the venue, send out invitations, buy some favors, food and some decorations.

We have also done home parties and that is a lot more work. Venue parties are easy.s[/quote]

Dp. Agree. Venues are easy. That's why people do them. [/quote]

+1 it takes some planning and money but it's not that much work.

My kids are at the age where they love birthday parties (5 and 8). Their own and friends' parties too. No phase lasts forever.

I liked the parents-stay phase of preschool parties. It's how we got to know the other families. I didn't find attending them draining like a PP. Kids are basically entertained by the venue or each other and parents can chat.[/quote]
