Shouldn't you be planning within the money you have?[/quote]

I find it cheaper to do pizza and a few other things then tons of random snacks.  Kids will almost always eat the pizza (in less a food allergy).  I do it as a way to cut down my costs.[/quote]

It isn't working.

You need to plan with the money you have, not ask for more.  You don't need "tons of random snacks" either.

Sounds to me like you don't budget very well.[/quote]

How is pizza ever going to be cheaper than asking people to bring in cheese sticks and fruit OR pretzels and fruit?  It's not.[/quote]

You can’t have those snack items for kids in 5th-6th grade. Some of these kids are adult sized. [b]You need some kind of a meal. [/b][/quote]

No you don't.[/quote]

You do for our fifth grade class. The 2 parties this year - at the teacher’s request - are during lunchtime. She asked that the party include lunch. So we have to have a meal. [/quote]

Of course it makes sense as a replacement for lunch but that’s not what anyone here is saying.[/quote]

Even then, you should either push back on the lunch timing or tell the teacher you don't have $ to provide lunch, but you can provide a dessert to go with their regular lunch.[/quote]

You can collect enough money or donations to make it work.  I think that's great its at lunch.  I wish ours were.   This poster wasn't saying money was an issue, she/he as saying that is when the teacher planned it.

[/quote]

If parents can collect enough, great.  Most of this thread is about the inability to collect enough for the party the teacher or the Pinterest mom wanted.  [/quote]

None of that is even relevant.  OP misspent the money and now she needs more.  That is the point of this thread.  Others made it a huge stink about pizza when you can do it cheaply and make a really nice party on very little if you try.  Most people aren't willing to try so its easier to slam others than to contribute a few dollars or something small and be done with it.[/quote]
