I am very sorry OP, that sucks. But why would you spend $300 on a 3 year olds party they won't remember in a few years?

Try to instigate a flash mob of toddlers for this birthday but next time use email instead.

What a party pooper

300$!? He's 3 years old he won't even remember it. Save that money for college or a car when he's older.

Let me clarify, since its very cold outside, I decided to rent a play area for my son and his friends. I was to send the invitations in his bag when he went to preschool, but I evidently forgot. The $300 was for everything, the cake, gifts, play area rental, food and a clown. I ended up making some last minute calls and quite a few people showed up.

$300 seems a little much. And to called using a phone OP.

dude, $300? my parents just call in my name on the radio, then the announcers call all the birthday people's names, randomly pick one and that person wins a cake. So In my family If you don't win the cake, you don't get cake xD

I used to be terrified of clowns as a child. I never knew anyone who actually liked clowns. It was the parents who automatically thought kids should love creepy, costumed carnies.

To those saying there's no point because the kid won't remember: a) he might. I have memories from that age. B) are you saying parents should bother doing fun things with their kids until they've reached a certain age? Did your parents lock you in a cupboard until you we're 5 or something?

what was the $300 for? a pedo clown?
