Today, after hours of organizing and spending around $300 for my three-year-old's birthday party, I realized I forgot to send out the invitations. FML
NiteShayd tells us more.

Let me clarify, since its very cold outside, I decided to rent a play area for my son and his friends. I was to send the invitations in his bag when he went to preschool, but I evidently forgot. The $300 was for everything, the cake, gifts, play area rental, food and a clown. I ended up making some last minute calls and quite a few people showed up.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

$300? My birthday parties didn't exceed the cost of the cake and a balloon. Save that money for his college fund; it'll be appreciated more.

I guess Junior is going to learn the meaning of the word "disappointment" early in life.

How retarded are you people? Whats 300 for? Well hmm lets see chairs, food, napkins, plates, cups, pinata, drinks, you can get a bouncy house, things for candy bags inc. candy & the bags, also if you wanna make party like in a pizza place such as chuck e cheese & or a party place also have a pool party etc

Don't worry -- you'll be spending a hell of a lot more than $300 on your Kid's future therapy bills. YDI

Wow you must be really stupid to spend that much! Like a 3 year old is really gonna remember that party! Cake and ice cream would of been good enough for a kid that little!

Op is not stupid. All parents want the best for their kids. Giving their child a party is great fun whatever you can afford to do.

I'm sorry, but you lose the right to call others stupid when you think "would of" is an actual English saying.

Wow, you sound jaded, what did your mommy and daddy not spend birthdays with you?

I would have to agree and say to save the money for other things like college or their "lucky 13" or "sweet 16". But also, if she has the funds for it....then why not? It is always nice to let your child have a lot of fun on special occasions.

Spending that much for a 3 year old who won't even remember the party is ridiculous, you should feel stupid for more that one reason

For all of my daughter's parties I invited family and fed them lunch. Not a single one if them said "Why did you buy me food!? The baby won't remember me eating it!" Not a single one said that. Hmm. Based on all the comments here I guess my family is just stupid because we think that enjoying a lunch with each other is a good thing.
