Joint kids birthday party - how would you split things. Example below
So my friend had a joint party with 2 other moms. They all agreed to split the fee of the venue (sorted). Mom A said she doesn’t mind paying for decorations/party bags and other party things (mom B made requests for matching clothes also paid by Mom A . Mom B said she will find a cake. Mom C said she will do food. Party is done now and Mom B is asking for receipts to split the money (they are all SAHMS) Mom A tried to keep the cost down but there was extra food and a bigger cake (Mom B ). At the end of the party Mom A’s partner had to pay an extra $40 as Mom B and A had extra people. Mom C and A agreed after the party there was no need to send anything. Overall they roughly Mom A spent around $190 Mom B spent $232 (due to extra food she wanted) and Mom C seems to have spent around $100.

I’d say keep to the original agreement , if mom B didn’t want to spend the extra money maybe she should have thought twice about the extra food she wanted to bring when Mom C said she’d be covering the food , I’m sure if Mom A or B had anything extra they personally wanted they would have fronted those costs themselves but idk maybe my opinion is wrong
Stick to the agreement. They should have split it from the beginning but have one person sorting it. It makes sense that food will cost more.
Leave as is. Mum B was meant to buy a cake that’s it
