My daughter has not had a party in five years (she will be 10 tomorrow) so I figured I would give her a great party that all would yes, Build-A-Bear.
Yikes, if you decide to do this then prepare to spend some money. I decided that all the kids should have something that they would enjoy for awhile instead of something they would throw in the back of their closets in a couple of weeks. Nine kids and the party cost almost $400.00 (that is including our horrible CA sales tax of 8%).
Anyway, I said before the party that I would get the kids all ice cream so we did that too even though I was pretty broke at this point (credit cards, credit cards)
It was a good party and one of the children's grandmother is the school's principal. Yesterday at schoool, she stopped me and told me how much her granddaughter loved the party and how much she loved her stuffed cat and couldn't stop talking about how it was the best party she ever atttended. Well, that made me feel better especially when she told me how much the child is cherishing her toy.
Moral of the story: If you plan to have a party there, prepare to drop some money. All will love it, but just be ready for that bill!
I told my girls that each of them (2 daughters) that they can have one party there as long as I was footing the bill. ONLY ONE!
