I think you already know the answer to who is wrong in that scenario.
Of course, you are right. Your 2 year old won't remember a big party. Not to say he wouldn't have fun while it was going on, but you could do something fun without costing a small fortune. I think kid birthday parties have really gotten out of hand. It isn't unusual around here for people to book parties that run $20/kid or more and have 15 kid minimums. That's $300 and often doesn't include everything you need. You might still have to buy a cake or food or paper goods.
You are being the responsible one. When he is older and has a bunch of friends, then you can do the big parties. For now, I think what you describe is perfectly fine.
