Today, after hours of organizing and spending around $300 for my three-year-old's birthday party, I realized I forgot to send out the invitations. FML

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? My birthday parties didn't exceed the cost of the cake and a balloon. Save that money for his college fund; it'll be appreciated more.

I guess Junior is going to learn the meaning of the word "disappointment" early in life.

Paying so much for a birthday party for a group of kids who can't remember and a group of parents who won't care to is kind of a bad idea...

While $300 seems like a little much to me, I can understand it since you want to make it a special day. However, I think that you could have done a party for $100 that would certainly have sufficed, considering that your child is only three. He likely won't remember much, if anything, from this party. It's not my money, but I would go for cheaper parties at first. Save any extra in the budget for a special party when they reach a milestone, like 10, 13, or 16. But that's just me. :)
