Re: Frugal Birthday Party
People get so worked up about kids' parties, buying presents for others, etc. So what if you drop a few bucks on your kid's birthday party? I have had parties at the movies, the local pizza place (ala Chuckie Cheese) and swim parties at the YMCA. The kids had a great time and so did I. And, the peak time for parties is ages 5-8, after that things really start to slow down anyway. I have sent my kids to all the parties they were invited to. You don't have to spend alot on a gift and your kid is fed and entertained for a couple of hours. For a $5-10 gift, that is a good deal.
Enjoy your kid's party. If others think it is "too extravagant" then who cares what they think anyway? If you are not going into debt and it is something you want to do, then enjoy!
