Birthdays are expensive. There's no way around spending a lot of money. There's invitations, decorations, cake, presents. Lots and lots of stuff to buy. I found these really cute invitations for my daughters birthday party... they have these little tiny Swarovski Crystal beads on them. They're more than I really wanted to spend, but I know my daughter would love them and really it's all about her that day. I want her to have a really nice birthday this year. This is her first year inviting friends from school and were going to have it at a local playland, which is a first also, so I really want her to have a great day. She deserves it. :)
