[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP my son is like yours - we're also doing a getaway and a playdate with one friend in lieu of a party - and I discourage you from bringing goody bags. My son partly doesn't want a party because he doesn't want to be in the center of a giant showy production: the bags would basically replace the party and that is NOT his preference. This kills me because I'm a maker and I LOVE DOING THIS STUFF but I'm an adult, and I've gotta do it for me and not for him...his birthday, his wishes.

Maybe calculate what you'd have spend on goody bags and help him invest it in the stock market and let him track it...if you really want to spend more $$$ to make it even. [/quote]

Interesting, maybe that is why my son doesn’t want a party! He never had one at a venue. Always chose park/home. 
I didn’t give him the getaway option before though... I needed the party to socialize with parents. But I am now in a different place in life and happy to avoid that. [/quote]

Mine has definitely had parties before, but not always. I think he has figured out that he actually gets to do fun stuff a lot, and a party is kind of a chaotic environment that is maybe not as fun (for him) so he'd rather cash in in other ways. [/quote]
