Birthdays and tweens...

Evan will be 11 at the end of November. I'm just taking a poll here. What's your budget for your tween's birthday? Do/did they have a party after elementary school or just get together with friends or maybe spend it with their family (*gasp*)?

In Middle school Connor would have a few friends over.
Last year we took Daisy and a friend into Seattle and had dinner at a nice fondue restaurant and spent the night at a nice hotel.
Once elementary school is over, I think it's fine to do a smaller scale celebration, with just the few closest friends where you can spend the money on something costlier like taking the bday kid and 2 or 3 friends to the water park or a sport event.

The last 2 years she's had a swim party at our rec center.
For our dd's thirteen birthday she had a sleepover and a party/barbecue at the beach. It's kinda spendy but we she's our only one. Why not?
