[quote=Anonymous]We have always done backyard birthday parties with pizzas and simple games and they still range in the $500-1000 range. After kid invites his whole class (+ siblings + parents) and we invite a few other friends/neighbors, a guest list of 12-20 easily grows to about 50. With pizzas, cake, decorations, games, adult beverages, etc., it easily adds up. Last year he only invited the boys in his class, but it was still probably 30 people total. We haven't gotten into drop-off territory yet (1st grade), so I consider it important to be a good host to the adults as well. We've done that every year except for 2020 and I can't do it again this year. I already told kid if he wants a gaming system for his birthday, he can't have a big party. He can invite one friend over to stay up late and play video games and eat pizza. [/quote]
