If they can afford it and no-one is being hurt, then why should anyone care how other families choose to celebrate??
Bit like Rouge, some years we hold big parties for the girls, other years small ones.
I find the parties when they are younger are a good way to get to know the other parents, we cater for the fact that not all parents can leave and that with us being a bit rural, it is easier for them to just stay.
We have so far (and will this year) had a big do for DD's birthday - it's something we enjoy doing, so we do it. we have family and friends that travel several hours to be here for the day, so it generally starts at lunch (ish) time and finishes the next day when the last stragglers leave. its' something that we want to do, so we do it. it doesn't hurt anyone else so why not? Not sure what will happen when she's at school - at a guess, there will be more kids and more adults, so we'll have less food left over at the end....
