A well known celebrity recently spent over $100,000 on their daughter's 2nd birthday party.
They were interviewing a TV personality
How sad is it that a lame birthday party is where your relatives take time out of their day to come and show you that they care about you and your mom loves you so much that she makes you a cake from scratch.
And a really great party is hiring some girl that you don't know to dress up like Barbie and pretend to be your best friend and you bribe your friends to come by giving away goodie bags valued at $1000.
It is just me, or is this sad?

A store bought cake at the last minute and a giant hug is so much better than "bribing" someone to be your friend for the day! Parties have gotten so out of hand, that most of our children haven't even had one! (Something, I'm sure, will scar THEM for life.) ;)
We barely acknowledge our kids' birthdays on the day. They get to choose all meals that we have at home that day and dessert. No real cake or candles. We do sing and they get one small gift. If we do any more than that they act out.
As for a party, we go way out. We do one party for all the kids and this year we let the grandkids join in and invite their friends, too. We spent about $850 for 11 kids, it also served as their end of the year party. More than 100 people showed up but that was b/c it rained.
