[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These parties cost money - like $25-40 per kid invited. If my child is not close with the celebrant, we decline. I don’t start off with “Do you want to play laser tag for Joey’s BD?” Because my kid will make a homemade card and go to any party he is invited to for the opportunity to eat cake and have a goody bag. I ask my child “Is there someone in your class named Joey? Do you sit with him at lunch or play at recess?” If my kid is like “Joey who” or “I never talk to him”, we decline. [/quote] It just cost me $50+ for Dave and busters for food, cards, tip, cake, favors. Parties should be fun for birthday child and guests. If you think your kid will have fun playing laser tag and you are free, go. If you are busy, don’t go. I feel bad for the kids whose parents just don’t want to drive them.[/quote]
