		<description>It was fun for me, too.  I&#039;m happy you remember it so vividly.  Mom
Oh, by the way, I always thought it was a good rule to limit the number of kids invited to the age of the child: three  years old equals three guests.</description>

		<description>Actually, complaining about the fact that these parents expect you to shell out a chunk of cash for gifts for their little darlings (I&#039;m sure.) and then asking readers to go buy a 17.00 shirt for kids...is lame. A 50.00 ruffle dress? I am glad I have not gotten to a post by you about how bad this economy is sucking. Who ARE you people? Get with the real world.</description>

		<description>You&#039;ve got it right here Matt. It blows me away to hear about these parties (because, lets face it, I&#039;m not quite up to par with those groups that throw these parties, thank goodness) because to me, a BBQ and a pool is sufficient to have a successful birthday party.

		<description>Amen to this post!  I am old-school myself, so I have made all the kids wait until they are 12 to have a birthday party outside of family, and then only three friends TOPS and no gifts.  Not because I don&#039;t want them to have fun, but because there is a huge difference between celebrating a birth and getting spoiled rotten, to impress kids&#039; parents, usually two of 20 you would even CARE to know.  Yeah, your mom is right on the money there.
