[quote=Anonymous]We have never done a big party at a venue for our 8 year old. We have done small group parties this way (2 or 3 friends at the children's museum, for instance). We've done a couple park parties, and we've also done family only parties a few times. I always ask my DD what she wants and we try to make it happen. We've never done an all-class party. I think kids' birthday parties are kind of a racket, tbh. We've been to many, many kids parties over the years, some with venues and/or entertainment and lots of decor and effort, and others low key in homes or at parks with more minimal offerings. I do not think the kids care. Really, I don't. They care about having time and space to play, getting cake and other fun food (pizza or similar), feeling special that it's their birthday. I think the main appeal of venue parties is that it's easy -- you pay and the venue handles everything or tells you explicitly what you need to bring.[/quote]
