Birthday Party etiquette

In mid January we will be having our 7 year old daughters birthday party at a roller skating rink. I say we should pay for any child that is attendings skate rental.  My husband says no they should pay for skate rental.  Who do you side with?

    The hosts should definitely pay for skate rental.  We just had my 7 y/o's birthday party at a bowling alley and we paid for shoe rental.

    The host pays for the rentals, food..etc.  All the guests have to do is come to the party.  They should not be required to pay for anything.

    The host pays.  If you don't want to pay for the skate rental than you should not have a party at a place where you need to pay to rent skates.

    Hosts pay for equipment rental at this type of birthday party.  Especially for kids this age, who probably get dropped off and who may not have pocket money.

    Skate rental is usually something that is part of your party package.  I would check with the party planner at your skating rink.

    Host pays. No-one will be expecting to pay for their kids skates.
