[quote=Anonymous]One of the PPs who had $100 or so in-home party for the first couple of years here - someone asked how it can be so cheap.  In our case, we did the party during non-meal time so no pizza, etc., it was just snacks like chips and dip, hummus, olives and cheese, etc., and the cake.  We already had the ingredients for the cake because I used to do a lot of baking, so no extra cost for that.  Because it was small and really only family-based, we only had around 15 people over so it didn't require much and we bought soda at Costco.  Also, no alcohol but offered the wine/beer we had on hand (we keep a few bottles of wine around, though we never drink it anymore due to sheer exhaustion from the kid!).  Decorations were limited to streamers and some balloons.  So, those types of get togethers are pretty cheap because they are so low-key and only a few kids came versus family members.

The gym place party we had for birthday #3, however, was a whole different ballgame costing around $450-500.  I actually preferred the smaller, family-based parties more, but we invited DC's whole preschool class this year so I couldn't have gotten away with a $100-party.[/quote]
