How about a suggustion from an old fashioned Nana(actually I'm not that old). Make the celebrations a small one at your home, with simple old fashioned things like party hats, latex free ballons, ect. 2 yr olds have the attention span of 3-5 minutes, so provide an opportunity to play, visit with their mothers, take lots of pitures, laugh and hold on to this time, it really does go by so fast, and take your $175.00 and send it to a shelter or home for children, you will feel great and although your child doesn't understand yet, set an example that it is not about the presents but the friends, give birthday gifts to less fortunate in your daughters name. Have a great party.
Alittle about me: Mom to 3 wonderful adult children, Nana to 6 grands and hopefully more,was a SAHM for all my childrens growing, now a hospice nurse
