[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]

Why do you need a taco truck or crepe truck…why not just order tacos and crepes?[/quote]

I think the pp is really proud of her taco and crepe truck. I have seen that person post about it multiple times.

I have been to many elaborate parties with beautiful decorations. I have been to a few parties with taco stations. My kids don’t care if it is chipotle or some better Mexican catering.

To answer the OP, $1k is pretty standard for a venue party. I have thrown two parties so far this year and each place cost me about $1k plus food, cake and favors. I did bare minimum not fancy parties.

Last year, the same kids had parties that cost me $2-3k.

I think my kids have fun wherever their friends are. Some of the best parties we have been to are home parties with people we like. No structured activities planned. Good food. Good company. You don’t have to spend a lot to have a good party.[/quote]
