We tried the minimal people, cheap as possible thing last year. We ended up with 20 people with only 4 groups of people, bringing thier significant other and children. () we asked each family to bring a plate and had it in a park. So it didn't cost a lot. Maybe 50 all up with the cake.
We're not in any better financial this year. I'd love to take him to the zoo or aquarium but we just cant afford it.
If it causes so much stress - why have a party? We didn't have one last year and won't this year (DD will be 2) I really don't think at 2 they have any comprehension of parties, so unless they are something that you as parents want to do and enjoy doing why put yourself through the stress. We will do a day out/activity with DD instead, she will enjoy that far more, and am sure there must be things to do in Brisbane that would come in less than 50 dollars, certainly are in Melbourne. DD will get a party when she asks for one (I suspect this will be for her 3rd birthday - but maybe she will be like me and not really into them).
