To do a 6th birthday party using the kids club cinema?

Would it be cheeky to ise the £2 kids viewing tickets to invite 5 friends to watch Polar Express, give them a small bag of popcorn and a fruit shoot... and then take them to McDonald's for a happy meal?
Would buy adults tickets for cinema if they feel they need to tag along.

That was a popular birthday party idea when my two were in reception/Year 1. I did it one year and dd & ds were invited to a couple of similar parties. This was at a private school and not seen as cheapskate.

When I did it I bought everyone a kids snack box (mini popcorn or crips, fruit shoot, Freddo/milky way. As there was a pizza place inside the complex we then went there afterwards but I'd have done Mcdonalds if that had been easier/closer.

Anther parent did something similar when the kids were a bit older but at the theatre to see Annie.
