[quote=Anonymous]I'm the one who said it was over the top, and I agree that there's a saturation point after which I start to wonder where you found so much time to do all this stuff and why you value it more than sleep (or whatever else).

Coordinating napkins and plates, having a theme, putting up decorations, having a banner, making cupcakes and decorating them, making party favors, whatever else is all fun and good.  When your party that you just whipped together looks like it was professionally planned, designed, and catered for a lot of money, I don't get the vibe that you did it for fun.  Especially when it's for a young child (who won't notice) or an event that is said to be casual (like the "sprinkle"), I get the vibe that you did it because you want to impress people or you're trying to live up to some standard of parenting that is riding you like a coke monkey.

Staying up until 1am once is reasonable.  Staying up several times and/or all night crosses a line.  I use that example because I know lots of women who stay up until 1am prepping for their child's party and only a couple who pull all-nighters and that is one visible difference in how they're perceived that I can point to.[/quote]
