[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was in preschool, a classmate (mixed age, Montessori) had her birthday at the Marriott conference center in formerly White Flint. There was a bounce house, video golf, cotton candy, a candy bar, pizza, heavy appetizers for the adults (bacon wrapped scallops, shrimp, pasta bar). It was over the top. They must have spent $10K. But I do not remember her name or her parents and I don’t even recall how old she was, maybe 5 or 6.  Save your money for things that really matter.  I’m sure the girl barely remembers too![/quote]

DS went to a birthday party when he was 4 that was at a country club where they had rented out the ballroom and also had the pool closed down for only the party guests. They had Batman and Superman there and some assorted princesses, every kid got a birthday-gift sized "goodie bag" (given to them by Batman) and there was an open bar in addition to an insane amount of food. I can't imagine how much they spent. There were about 25 kids there, plus parents. [/quote]

Some people are extremely hospitable. Some people are cheap.

If you have a park party with juice and cupcakes, I hope you say “no gifts” on the invite![/quote]
