[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never thought of a home party as less than a venue party? We often do venues bc it’s easier - they take care of it all. I personally felt like the one home party week did was the nicest.[/quote]

Venues always seem like a cop out....kind of like the parents take the easy (expensive) way out.  I'd rather hang out in someone's house.[/quote]

Trust me, sometimes it is also cheaper to do it at a venue.
I spend about $500 or so for my kid parties and we have 25+ kids invited. My kid isn't at the age of drop off yet so parents stay and sibling come. So we are talking 75 people here. I would easily spend 3x what I would at a venue at home because I would be getting the house cleaned right before (outside of our normal schedule), go pinterest crazy, and the biggest expense would be casual catering like a taco bar and drinks for everyone and then some form of entertainment. The venue is what it is, usually includes pizza for the kids and I'll get extra so adults can grab a slice and a big cake or cupcakes and it provides a fun entertainment option. If I was like OP and had a 10k square foot house, yes I very likely would throw some awesome parties at my house! Why else do you have a house that big? And I wouldn't think twice about spending that kind of money on it to make it an awesome party. [/quote]
