My six-year-old has a party coming up and is happily planning for homemade cake, two simple crafts, and a game of <a href="http://articles.earthlingshandbook.org/2009/12/22/two-easy-indoor-games/" rel="nofollow">Pass the Parcel</a>. The last party he attended was a "volcano dance party" in his friend's mom's art studio which provided a big open space for dancing, with a montage of volcano video (from YouTube) projected on the wall--it was very cool and frugal!'Beccahttp://articles.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075738812838303917.post-29939598305456947642010-04-30T12:08:02.839-04:002010-04-30T12:08:02.839-04:00That sounds like a blast for definitely a fraction...That sounds like a blast for definitely a fraction of the cost of having the party somewhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075738812838303917.post-76368245364594170042010-04-29T16:40:14.571-04:002010-04-29T16:40:14.571-04:00Nice ideas!

Ugh. They weren't worth it then, and they aren't now. We all need to do our children a BIG BIG favor, and teach them to look forward to simple pleasures, not over-the-top excesses.

Kids don't really need expensive party venues to have a good time, that's for sure. My daughter is going to be one in July, and I am trying to plan her first party.
