[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is rude. Parents in general are so rude nowadays. Some don’t RSVP and show up, so show up late because they are stacking parties. It’s really sad parents want their kids to do everything nowadays and then complain about how busy they are.

I’ve always had parties at home. If my space is small, only invite few, like 2. Parents spending hundreds on a venue is crazy. Parents are spending $25-50 per kids at some venues. That’s why when you get burned, it hurts so much more. Don’t spend all this for kids. They don’t care. They go painting, trampoline, mini golf so much, your party is not that special. They are going every week. Just don’t spend the money. They have just as much fun just playing with their friends and having pizza and cake. When I have smaller parties, i also get nicer food and have parents stay with some adult beverages.  And stop ot with the goody bags. Kids don’t care. They just want to hang with their friends.

Stop blaming the party planners. It's not the money, it's the flakiness and unreiiability. You would notice if 1 of your 2 guests didn't bother to show up. And no, parents don't want to hang out at your 12 yr old's birthday party. As you said, the kids want to hang out they don't want their parents hovering.[/quote]

OP seemed particularly annoyed by the amount spent on the kid who no-showed.  Having a less expensive party would indeed solve that problem.[/quote]
