How do you handle other kids’ birthday parties?
Do you have a set amount that you usually spend? Do you still give a present if you don’t go to the party?

How do you normally handle other kids’ birthday parties? Do you have a set amount that you spend on school friends versus close family friends? Do you still give a present even if you can’t make it to the party? Do the parents usually invite everyone in the class, only one sex, or only individual friends? Do you hang around the party or drop the kids off? At what age do parents stop coming?
It seems like we go to a birthday party every weekend. Our preschool teacher won’t put the invitations in the children’s bags unless the whole class is invited. I usually spend around $15 for a class friend and a little more for a close buddy. And I usually don’t give a present if we can’t attend the party unless it’s a close family friend.
What’s your modus operandi for birthday parties?
