[quote=Anonymous]I would not be thrilled w/ this party, but I do think you are making too big a deal out of it.

I get it. It's not your values. Mine either -- I hate the whole beauty thing and think it just makes girls value the wrong things. That said, I get that other people think differently and that kids like to experiment w/ make up.  I also don't think the hair is a big deal at all -- it's for expression, not trying to be Barbie-like.

I also don't have a problem w/ mocktails. How many times have I served "champagne" (sparkling cider?) I did a casino night for my 13 year old and had pretzel stick cigars & cider (I did ask all the parents first, though).

Actually, my issue w/ the party is the extravagance! Movie (btw, my kids could never see Jurassic World and hope to sleep again), pool, pro makeup/nails/hair too? Wow. We would not be keeping up w/ those Joneses!

This will never be the party you throw, OP, and there's nothing wrong w/ that. But trust your kid and don't freak out on the friend mom about the hair. It will wash out. All fine. [/quote]
