[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But can we go back to the open bar thing? If you're going to drop a wad on a kids' birthday party, that seems like the most worthwhile expense.[/quote]

Heh - I've followed this thread but haven't posted b/c we spend way too much also (but we have twins so, hey, it's a combined party, maybe the same price as if we had two separate parties?). $250 for the bounce house, $250 for the face painter/ balloon twister. I guess we don't have the do the face painter but while half of the kids are in the bounce house, the other half are over with the face painter (watching whoever is getting their face done at the moment and waiting their turn) and I like the balloons as a party favor b/c the kids love them and the best part is that they go away soon! My kids have [i]tons [/i]of gift bags w/ little tchatkes that they want to keep but never really use. So. Many. Things. So having the balloon twister make the kids balloons in lieu of giving gift bags is my gift to the parents.  :D

Yeah, so on top of that will be the cakes ($15ish each from the store), snacks, and pizzas - and we need a lot since we invite all their daycare friends and kids they play with from the neighborhood. And since parents stay, we need several bottles of wine and a few cases of beer. :)

TL;DR - come over to my house on party day for the open bar :)[/quote]
