I agree also that your bringing them to the arcade, I'd just give each kid X amount of tokens, If they do well at some of the arcade games they get the tickets to get stuff when they are done. The last party we went to at PizzaPut, the host paid for the kids pizza, soda, brought a cake and gave all the kids $3. When the kids were done and went to the desk to redeem their tickets, my child got a rubber snake, frog and a jump rope plus some penny candy. I couldn't help but feeling that either I am just plain cheap or we must be poor but I couldn't/wouldn't spend that kind of money on a party unless it was a serious milestone(1st, 16th, 18th, etc.).
