Do child poors get birthday parties?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

I never had more than an 8-10 people in the backyard type of thing, but that kind of comes with having a summer birthday I guess. In a more urban area, I could easily see this being switched to park. It doesn't seem like much effort so long as there are parents who care whatsoever - just have like 3 sports balls and a cake and pizza.

I guess in the winter, I sort of remember laser tag, but that's as extravagant as a non-Sweet Sixteen gets. I know a few people who had rented places for Sweet Sixteens, but even that small percentage I wouldn't classify as extravagant - perhaps just one. (Bar Mitzvah's were much more common.) Anything topping a couple thousand dollars is majorly horrible though. I don't think having a semi-big party for a Sweet 16/Bar/Bat Mitzvah is that awful as its a major part of the culture but show some decency. Quinceanera's seem to be even more ubiquitous as those are a major cultural event, but they also should obviously never exceed anything. I imagine those are especially important regardless of wealth class.

As long as specialty parties aren't entering the extravaganza-level that Libertas brings up, then it's fine. Thankfully, I've never met anyone like that in my childhood.
