[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best NoVa “whole class” elementary parties under $1000 total to date -

1. I paid the “Captain cookie” food truck to come to a park and handed out coupons for our guests to get 1 item of their choosing. I borrowed or bought yard games we’d use again - corn hole, giant jenga, ring toss, etc. I had coolers of assorted Gatorade, water, and seltzers.

2. Rented the community room at a local church or pool. Paid performer - magician, Great Zucchini, snake and reptile guy, petting zoo, etc. Safeway cupcakes, Pizza Boli’s pizza, carrot sticks and ranch dip, apple slices, water. 
Paid my teenage neighbor and her friend their hourly babysitting rate to cut the carrots and apples, assemble the goody bags, serve pizza, and clean up.

3. Game truck + Taco truck in the pool parking lot when it was not pool season. We are members of the pool and I arranged it with the manager.

4. Bought Kiwi Crate robots for 15-20 4th graders. Served pizza and ice cream sundae bar in my yard.

5. Hired a company to bring 2 ponies made to look like unicorns to my cul de sac and had pony rides. Served lunchables and ice cream sandwiches per BD kid’s request. [/quote]

Some of these don’t make sense. What were 21 kids doing while 2 of their classmates were riding unicorns? [/quote]

Playing yard games left over from the cookie truck year. Waiting their turn. Watching their friends ride the ponies. Honestly 2 ponies for 25 kids was overkill. I should have had 1 pony, but the pony people said 1 pony per 15-20 kids and the additional cost was minimal. I think it was $350 instead of $275? [/quote]
