It's expensive being a parent these days. Food, clothing, toys – and just when you think you have a handle on the expenses, your child turns another year older.
Birthday parties for preschoolers can be especially daunting. According to Diane Warner, party planner and author of several books, parents feel the need to outdo the last party their child attended where the hosts might have rented a jumping castle or hired a clown. Also, says Warner, "Parents feel pressured to buy all the theme-oriented items at the party store, which includes tableware, decorations and party hats. A preschooler doesn't need an expensive party with all the 'necessary' trappings to have fun."
