Do you go all out at school parties?

DS (3) brought home bags of stuff from his school's Valentine's Party. I sent valentines and plates and cups but nothing extra for the other kids. After getting all of that loot, I felt kinda bad that we didn't do anything 'extra'. I haven't seen what DD (9) got yet. I sent cupcakes to her school for the party and she took valentines. I'm wondering if I'm going to feel negligent when I see her loot.

When I was a kid (don't you love it when people begin with that phrase?) we just gave out paper valentines. Once in a great while someone would put a small handful of conversation hearts candy in the envelope too.

Nowadays the kids are including candy. Good candy, not just a handful of hearts. Pretty soon it's going to become just like Halloween.

We usually just include one piece of candy per valentine - like a Hersheys kiss or something. That seems to be the norm around here. Some kids really go all out and bake cookies and give treat bags. Other kids just do the paper valentine. Our kids come home with bags of loot too.

YS class didn't have a Vday party so we just sent Valentine Day cards with candy.
OS class did have a party and parents signed up for different items. I sent cupcakes. He also had valentine day cards with tattoos.
