[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this qualifies - not odd, just over-the-top.  After school (on a weekday) birthday party for 6-yr-old girl.  Very small house.  16 kids.  Lots of family members plus the party company staff of at least 3 or 4.  "Spa" themed party including little pink robes for all the girls; they lay down with cucumbers on their eyes; had their nails painted; full makeup put on; hair done, etc.  They were suppoed to bring their princess dresses.  Once they were all dolled/dressed up, Princess Belle arrived and everyone had photo ops with her.  When the parents were arriving to pick up, closing in on 6:00pm, they were only just getting to the cake.  The next week the mom sent everyone the 500+ photos that were taken by the party company to document every moment.[/quote]

God, what a bitch you are PP. A mom tries to do something fun for her daughter and includes yours and you have to comment on the size of her house. My 6 year-old DD would have loved what you described AND it was a drop-off on a school night? What is your problem--they're 6! They don't have board meetings the next morning![/quote]

I commented on the size of the house to convey how unbelievably crowded it was with 16 kids, multiple grownups and party company staff.  I commented on the fact that it was a weekday afternoon because it was very hard to get my daughter to settle down and do her homework when I finally got her home.  For the kind of party that it was - which was, yes, very fun for the girls - it would have been much better on a weekend when it wouldn't have been so rushed.

I don't have a "problem."  I was merely commenting that the party was large, complicated, expensive, and over-the-top, IMO.

And I'm actually not a bitch.  But thanks for reminding me why I generally don't post here.[/quote]
