Moms Talk: How Do You Plan Kids' Birthday Parties?

What to eat? How much to spend? Do you let the kids have input?

Welcome, parents, to Moms Talk. Think of it as Niles Patch's online moms group. We hope you'll join the conversation.

This week's topic was suggested by Moms Council member Kathy Ruhnke. After watching a show on TLC on outrageous kids' parties, she writes: 

How do you decide how to celebrate kids' parties (be they birthday, graduation, etc.) How much input do you let your child have?  Do you have a budget for parties?  Do kids help make up the guest list? The menu?  This would also be a topic parents of teens could weigh in on.
