With 2 birthdays ahead of us this and 2 pestering kids pleading for parties, the impending cost made me think why oh why oh why is it such a huge palava? Every single invite my kids have had is for a party in a hired venue with an entertainer! We never had that. It was at home in the front room, mum made a trifle and sandwiches and the cake. We didn't have entertainment! My query is why is it now the norm to hire a venue etc. It costs a bloomin fortune! Is it wrong to take a trip back to nostalgia? After all if it was good enough back then, what's the problem now? We don't want people in our homes, we don't want to be judged, we are scared, germs even, or we just want to show off?
