[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest.  My kids would think a home party is pretty lame unless you have activity stations and entertainment.[/quote]

I’ll be honest, too. Your children sound like spoiled, overscheduled brats with no imagination or initiative. [/quote]

NP but even when we were little kids at our own midwestern middle-class home parties, our parents still planned activities!  I think someone said it earlier - our parents planned games for us (pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, etc...).  I think having a party at your house, but not planning out any activities for the kids is a bad idea, regardless of your income level.

My kids go to a public school, and I'd say maybe half of the parties they've been to have been at someone's house, but all of them had something for the kids to do -- a bounce house, games set up in the back yard (like a water balloon toss). My DD once went to a pajama party where they had breakfast for dinner, watched a movie, and we picked the kids up.[/quote]
