[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do more home and playground parties! We enjoy them just as much. Do some organized games. With that many kids you could have teams even! [/quote]

As I said, just the taco truck we had at our backyard party was $1,000. When we had a playground party the permit was $120, $400 for the bubble man, over $2,000 for the crepe truck (entitling each party guest to one savory and one sweet crepe), etc. [/quote]

Guys I think this person is joking [/quote]

I'm not joking. We invite the entire class (1st grader and 3 yr old) for all parties so far. If we did a trampoline party there's only one place to do it in our city - it's $500 for 90 minutes for 10 kids and $50 for each additional kid. In January we did a gymnastics party for the 3 yr old and it's $375 for 20 kids (we snuck in extra kids) and while they provide some decor, they don't provide any food. So between the rest of the decor, food, drink, and goody bags it was around $1,000. I imagine costs will go down as parties become drop off and we're not feeding parents/siblings. But hey, our goal is not to create the cheapest party possible. We like hosting nice parties. Sure we could put out Doritos and Pepsi and call it a day, but we don't want to do that.  [/quote]
